I would say complete satisfaction. It’s even rewarding just to observe the tube flattened all the way along.
Random question/request: I know that you post quite a bit on instagram, but I got off of social media in 2016. For a while, your instagram photos appeared here on the page, and if I clicked them, I could see the individual photo/story. For some reason, that stopped happening. Without the direct link, I can’t see all of the cool things you are doing on instagram. I love your work, and find you endlessly inspiring. I have such little time to search for small makers or investigate socially responsible consumer goods (investing). Is it possible to put those instagram links back on your page? One blog — Meagan Rose Wilson — has a scrolling instagram at the bottom, which allows readers to view the post without linking to instagram. Just an idea! Thank you for all you do!
Hi there! Facebook changed their permissions and made it super tricky for third-party apps to access the feed and run these kinds of widgets, which simultaneously make the acct more susceptible to hacking. It’s a big bummer and one we’re always trying to navigate. Would love to have my insta feed back on my site but haven’t found a safe way to do that yet.
Thanks for this explanation! I’d been wondering the same thing.
Makes sense. Thank you for replying! I hate Facebook.
I think Davids toothpaste has a tube wringer as well.
It does! Not nearly as effective but comes with!
Loved the playground essay. Thank you for sharing!
I bought a metal wringer years ago for my paints and find it so satisfying that now I buy anchovy paste and tomato paste in metal tubes just to be able to use the thing more often!
Do not doubt it! It’s so great!
Thank you for the cottagecore link. I have been thinking about this lately, and the obsession with all things European (travel, fashion, decor, literature, etc.)
Thank you for sharing that cottagecore story. It was so interesting!
