If you ever go into traditional art in any way, then we HEAVILY suggest investing in a good ruler. A metal one, without the rounded edges that you'll see in some stores. You WILL want its assistance in drawing straight edges, you WILL want to be able to reliably measure any piece of paper you might need to cut down to size, you'll probably use it far more often than you'd expect, and the durability of a metal ruler will mean you will almost definitely never have to replace it and also let you use it as a multitool for anything that may require a flat hunk of metal.

#we speak #a ruler is a normal & appropriate object to open a package with and dont let anyone tell you otherwise #this psa brought to you by: we spent like two hours looking for a metal ruler with all flat edges a few months ago #and we consider this time & effort investment to be 100% worth it. the ruler itself was like ten bucks btw #this way we dont fuck up our good knives when we need to cut through shit like tape. invest in a flat hunk of metal today!#we used to have a different ruler that we used for like 7 years but our dad took it when we moved and we dont think we're getting it back #plastic rulers are fine short term but they dont last and you cannot use them as a multitool unless you like shattered plastic #weirdly specific stances on things time now. we are metal ruler advocates here.
