ugh, had my first wordle loss with the "cream" "thing" method today. perhaps i shouldn't rely so heavily on the method that i neglect using other word-finding skills. anyways, hope you are doing well.

continue to keep me abreast of your maniacal workings

#im well same to you. professor wordle

yo wanted to let you know that ive been using the "cream" "thing" wordle strategy every day since the last ask i sent in about it, and this strat is OP fr

14 days after your last ask. dedicated research

[samsketchbook]

you know "cream" and then "thing" is a good wordle strategy, i did it and got the correct answer on the third try from those two guesses

In case you lost it - a link to the eSIM donation guide. Even if you feel sick and powerless, you can at least do this. And even if you really, really can't donate, you can always at least share this and remind others.

March's patreon reward will be a vinyl sticker of creamthing in the butter drawer, + a random surprise gift from my archive of patreon gift leftovers. I typically only do this once a year so its a great time to join and get an extra treat. I will also put in a random storebought sticker or two in there, as usual.

I am moving both my apartment and studio this month so the support is appreciated :)

I have a new episode of my podcast All Miracles Are Strange. It's about hysterical weeping, Margery Kempe, EM Cioran, and two ceramics work by the artist Carolein Smit (above).

It's also about how I cry a lot.

In this episode, I referenced Tears and Saints by Emil Cioran, The Crying Book by Heather Christie, Cry Baby: Why Our Tears Matter by Benjamin Parry, Interior Castles by Teresa of Avila, the Book of Margery Kempe, Afterlives of the Saints by Colin Dickey, and the essay “Tears and Screaming: Weeping in the Spirituality of Margery Kempe” by Santha Bhattacharji, which appears in the book “Holy Tears: Weeping in the Religious Imagination.” I tried very hard to put in some bits from Margery Kempe by Robert Gluck, but couldn't make it work this time around.

If you would like to support my work or read more of what I do, you can find me on Patreon and Substack. If you want to see my studio work, you can see it on instagram and on my website.

This episode, along with all the others, can be found on both Spotify and Apple Podcasts

do you use any specific tools or machine to make your spiral bound books?

they are risograph printed(typically either by me or by perfectly acceptable press :) , then i use a a 4:1 pitch hole punch, a corner rounder to make the corners. rounded. and spirals, which i twist through by hand. and then crimp at the end with pliers.

but i will be upgrading to this holepunch soon which has a little roller on top to push them through super fast :) that is overall an unnecessary luxury though, and I have spiraled hundreds of books by hand. i get the spirals from mybinding dot com and the other stuff i borrow from friends but you can typically find good deals on ebay for those secondhand.

oh and the main book in question for anyone wondering is this one, which is actually freshly restocked in my shop :

pls note orders will be a little delayed rn as i am moving soon!!
