Basil @mydearbasil.bsky.social · 07/05/2025
I’m afraid it’ll break from the transport cause it’s heavy and has that screen and stuff jutting out. You think it will work? Lol it’s your same scanner!

That shade of yellow is so perfect for this!! The font too is so perfect and the bed illustration… it’s absolutely haunting in the bed way

I guess there are libraries in the meantime but my scanner was soooo meaningful to me. I definitely did not use it enough for it to become a part of my identity like this but here we are.

Moving cross country has typically been one unexpected challenge after another (typically on emotional autopilot) but today I realized I can’t pack my flatbed scanner in my carry on and I’m so devo 😞

The trick to procrastination is keep adding a bunch of things you don’t want to do and eventually the first thing becomes the one you want to do

This is something I’m trying to avoid doing, because it really doesn’t help. It’s also one of the reasons grifters and clout chasers have been thriving. I get that it’s part of people processing and trying to make sense of things. I’ve done it in the past. It’s not a useful pattern of behavior.

I took the generic and it made all my emotions a lot more mellow and manageable. I couldn’t will a panic attack even if I tried.

Wow I didn’t realize blue sky had so many creative content creation grifters! 😭 anyways if your portfolio is 10+ vastly different styles I can tell you’re not doing the work so spare both of us the time waste

My favorite zatch bell 2 plot has been sherry’s kid going “being rich is what matters most” to “no… getting swole is”

The Spotify genre ai names are so bad! What’s a “permanent wave”? I’m convinced Spotify removing their human genre analysts is also why the radio and mixes have been terrible (no new music introduced in, just what you’ve listened to previously)

I know the dark chocolate one is old now but every time I have it I’m like!! Wow!!! God bless whoever at Ferrero decided to make new choco ball flavors for the first time in two decades

The timeline is bad but at least it includes new ferrero rocher chocolates

at the risk of being contentious the correct response to this is to bail on mainstream shit. I know everybody's addicted to lavish production and big celebrities but the reason Hollywood is going all-in on AI is they do not believe anybody will ever stop watching their shit, no matter what they do
