  • It’s hard to tell from this photo but to me it just looks like your basil is flowering and a bunch of flower bits made a mess on the leaves. I usually try to pinch off the flowers as soon as I see them to keep the basil leaves going. I don’t see any holes in the leaves or yellow/brown spots so I don’t think it’s a pest. But again it’s hard to tell from this photo.

    Edit: Just saw the tumbler photos and the first one makes it look more like a pest is present. But again, I don’t see any indication that they’re eating the leaves. Doesn’t hurt to try the dish soap spray in case it’s aphids.


  • As a graphic designer, I’m currently on the fence. I love the AI tools that make tedious tasks significantly easier such as cutting out curly or frizzy hair. I also enjoy using generative AI as a tool to do things like replace an object in someone’s hand or seamlessly fill in the background where I removed something, but unfortunately those are the things that are potentially stealing from other artists and so is morally wrong to use. It is nice to just play around with it for the sake of generating ideas that you could build off of or to try to create a mock-up before execution. It’s sad really, because I would absolutely love to use the generative tools more but I just don’t see how I can at this point in time. Instead I currently use it for things that are private that I wouldn’t profit off of. For example, I made a puzzle for my father in law using a photo of his family’s farm and used generative AI to recreate the photo in the artistic style of his favorite puzzle artist. He was delighted to have it and it became a highly unique item he could enjoy. I never intend to sell it or even share it with anyone else. It’s for him only and I doubt his favorite puzzle artist will lose anything from it.

    Not 3 years ago, I had a landlord who was very low key and hands off. This was great in the sense that we could do whatever we wanted to the apartment and he wouldn’t care, but we had to write him an actual check each month. Considering this apartment had everything we wanted with all the sprinkles for an incredible price, I was totally down to write a physical check if that’s what the guy wanted. Plus you can typically get your bank to write and send checks automatically which we ended up doing after a while. Ended up staying for 5 excellent years! 10/10 would write checks again.
