not the OP but,

I am in my 20s and I use a typewriter somewhat regularly to journal. I was raised on computers, getting the jumble from my brain onto paper is faster with a keyboard than a pen/pencil and paper. And a typewriter is nice and analog - no screen, no lights, no battery. I'm disconnected, focused, and performant.



Is it hard to find ink for it?


You can re-ink a ribbon if you're adventurous, or you can find new ribbons for many popular typewriters.

No harder than finding ink for a stamp.
