My group chats are full of Minnesotans reacting to today’s murder by figuring out ways they can help.

We need people outside of the state to do the same thing. Whatever you wish everyone else was doing right now? Do it today.

Let’s make a list of things that could help.

Jean Paré took her love of cooking and turned it into an empire.
She oversaw the publication of 17,000 kitchen-tested recipes in over 200 cookbooks.
Her Company's Coming cookbooks have sold 30 million copies.
This is her story.

🧵 1/10
An elderly woman with short, light-colored hair and glasses, wearing a royal blue dress with large buttons, sits at a dining table eating a slice of cake with a fork. She holds a delicate blue and white teacup in her other hand. The table is set with an assortment of colorful desserts, including a fresh fruit tart topped with berries and kiwi, chocolate-frosted pastries, and more cake. Small vases of pink and yellow flowers decorate the table. In the background is a cozy living room with a white sofa, framed by family photos on a light blue wall and a glowing table lamp.

On this day in 1918, the First World War came to an end. Across Canada, people celebrated in the streets. Over 600,000 Canadians enlisted, with 60,000 killed and 172,000 wounded.

A black-and-white photograph of a group of people riding a horse-drawn wagon labeled "The Canadian Transfer Co. Limited." The individuals, dressed in early 20th-century attire including hats and coats, are holding large paper megaphones and appear to be celebrating or protesting, with some waving and others holding flags. The scene takes place on a city street with buildings and signs in the background, including one for "Chiclets."

Decoration Day, Armistice Day and Remembrance Day have all been days to honour Canada's veterans.
For a time, our day of remembrance fell on the same day as Thanksgiving.
But Remembrance Day as we know it has been celebrated 1931.
This is the story.

Color photograph of a war memorial covered in hundreds of red remembrance poppies. A black military helmet rests on the stone surface, surrounded by poppies, red roses, small Canadian flags, and handwritten notes. A wooden cross with a poppy is visible among the tributes. A person's hand appears on the left edge. The scene is outdoors on a gray stone memorial.

It’s banned book week. Here are the 4 books of mine I recently found out have been challenged. BEIGE, QUEEN OF COOL, SOUPY LEAVES HOME & TIN STAR. I’d love it so much if you’d read them / take them out from your library/ listen to them on audio / buy them / love them.

Another shroom doodle, this one inspired by fool's mushroom.
A black ink figure facing to the left, wearing an oversized bonnet shaped like a flat mushroom cap along with an ankle length dress. A gathered collar begins the light top layer with off-shoulder short sleeves. It has a hem dotted with a laser cut style design. The skirt is fitted at the hip then expands, finally pulled back into a ballooned shape with hefty gathers at the ankle. The hem frills out from below the gathers. Vertical piping is along the seams of the skirt. Matching choker necklace, ring, and strappy stiletto shoes are worn. A photo of a fool's mushroom also known as amanita verna. Peering up at the gills under the wide flat white mushroom cap, the long white stem has a short draping frill one third of the way down from the cap. Set against a dark brown bed of leaves and bark.

Did a doodle yesterday inspired by a stinkhorn mushroom image on Wikipedia.
A black ink sketch on white paper of a dress. The white sleeveless top of the dress has rows of organically shaped vertical black ovals. The ovals are small at the collarbone, large on the chest, and decreasing in size as the rows move towards the waist. The black miniskirt is surrounded by a globe-shaped open geometry skirt in white. The figure wears pointed toe black heels and large bead jewelry, hair pulled up in a bun. Photo of a stinkhorn mushroom from Wikipedia: the conical top of the mushroom is brown and porous like a morel. It has a white stem surrounded by a white fungi net-looking membrane. It sits amongst a bed of brown and green leaves.

Some fashion doodles. Left is from last year, right is from this year. Thinking the tunic would be interesting as a velvet cardigan with gold thread trim.
Pair of fashion sketches in black ink on white paper. Left is a long sleeve blouse with lace at the neckline and a calf-length floral pattern skirt, booties and hair in a ponytail. Right is a back view of a long sleeve tunic and wide leg pants with a diamond pattern and wide hem, block heels and short hair done up in a pouffe.
