I have an addiction to old tools that look like danger. Anyone know what this is? #objectsofdesire

I’m trying to teach myself Python, I love Instagram, and I have this little thermal printer. So I decided to make an ASCIIGRAM - ascii Instagram feed.
I came together pretty quick but it is admittedly very hackish. I’m very new to Python and any real programming language (despite using snippets of many over the years)
