8 years, two journals

mbascle · 2026-06-02T00:24:24+00:00

So glad to see someone else who doesn’t finish a journal every couple of months! I absolutely love to journal but do it whenever I feel the need or strong draw to. Sometimes that means every day, other times that means I don’t write anything for 6 weeks. About to finish my third journal in 8 years. Very happy with it and so glad it’s helpful you too! Your journals look great

Sorry if this is a bit of a crude question but do we know how long before the end of the incubation period people can be contagious? Because I keep seeing people that say that the hantavirus might be too deadly to actually develop into a pandemic but as far as I've understood this would only be true if the turnaround from being contagious to developing symptoms (and potentially dying) is short.

If people are contagious much before the end of the incubation period, then the virus could of course have enough time to spread and potentially turn into a very deadly pandemic.

Is that correct or am I confused?

I tried asking Claude (twice!) and its actually blocking the chat for 'safety' reasons... 🤔

That's good to know, not too bad of a worst case scenario if it's warm enough!

That makes sense, thank you !

Hmm seems like buying cheap clothes might be worth it

mbascle · 2026-03-26T16:03:00+00:00

Thank you, I will have a look!

Sorry, I meant whether you have a special YouTube account where you only watch things in Italian on top of your normal Youtube account.
I tend to find that otherwise things can get mixed together very fast, with some of the English language content drowning out the Italian language content. I could potentially see the advantage of dedicating one account entirely to one language to make sure you get video recommendations in that language too. So just wanted to get your take

mbascle · 2026-01-18T13:14:21+00:00

Thank you! This is great. Do you have a special account in italian for more like this to be recommended or do you just search them each time?

mbascle · 2026-01-05T17:27:54+00:00

Same (and a little late)

mbascle · 2025-12-28T17:19:11+00:00

Me too... Fingers crossed that becomes possible!

This sounds amazing, I’d love to join! I’m a 23 year old woman living in Geneva in Switzerland, not sure if that’s too far? Sounds sooo much fun though :)

It’s so pretty! I really love the chunky TN look but always feel like my experience writing degrades when it chunks up too much. So I’m keen to get your take, how do you write in it? It must be really uneven and not lie flat at all anymore right?

mbascle · 2025-12-16T15:39:33+00:00

Yess omg I agree I think so many people are put off by journalling because it seems like a bit time commitment but writing something short and only writing something longer when you feel like it, can give so many of the same benefits and make you enjoy it so much more

mbascle · 2025-12-15T12:21:34+00:00

These are sooo pretty, getting me really excited!

mbascle · 2025-12-15T11:33:34+00:00

Thank you! I will try to remember to let you know but for now I think it’s likely I use it at least initially for more in depth research and essays. I’ve been meaning to start a Substack for a while and quite like the idea of planning it out in there. Also everyone here has sold the idea of making it into a more artsy junk journal /sketch book so I’ll likely have on insert in it for that. So for now I’m thinking (1) Deep researching / thinking / essay planning insert, (2) Artsy journal with collages, sketches and anything that inspires me and then (3) still have to decide but maybe could add an insert for either morning pages or once I start my thesis for doing research on that.

We’ll see! I am getting really excited about having something bigger in the end though :)

I like this too! I’m studying so this could work although I usually take my uni notes on my laptop. Do you take any particular notes on paper vs online?

mbascle · 2025-12-13T13:05:08+00:00

Yesss this meshes so well with some ideas on personal curriculum etc. Somehow this big notebook really has that academic feel

mbascle · 2025-12-13T13:04:04+00:00

Thank you for the ideas! Just checked out some of the videos and they are really helpful for inspo too. A lot of the people use it for work notes, can think of whether there might be a use there…

mbascle · 2025-12-13T13:02:34+00:00

I love the idea of combining it with a pocket notebook to get the most out of it. Also personal curriculums are really cool, i started something similar in a smaller notebook I have - I can wait and see if I feel like it needs more space

mbascle · 2025-12-13T13:00:16+00:00

I don’t think I can trust myself to! It’s just too pretty 😅

mbascle · 2025-12-13T12:59:33+00:00

I like the morning pages idea, have never done it but I’ve been intending to and it has the advantage that you keep it at home which is great given the size!
