What!? No one has answered what their golden poop is yet!!? lol.

I’ve been checking Substack all week looking for your post but it never popped up…till I checked email.

Thank you for this reminder that the lotus grows from the mud. My golden poop is the suffering I’ve endured all school year from my neglectful students. It’s revealed to me how to endure through long droughts of suffering and strengthened my self trust….which I suspect might come in handy in the future.

Golden poop😸 I, too, love handmade, non-digital creations. I’ve seen many of your projects, and your work is wonderful. I'm cheering you on.

You might enjoy learning about the 20th-century Sōsaku-Hanga movement. Artists who were part of this movement did their own prints. I’m a particular fan of Umetaro Azechi.

Ah, Azechi san was a Shikoku person from Ehime! Home to some of my favorite radical farmers and artists. Figures :-D

This one definitely aligns with the raw beauty and spirit of Sosaku hanga prints. Thank you for pointing it out here!!! Also, Umetaro Azechi is new to me. Super!
