36. No idea what I’m doing. But I like baking and reading and being coaxed into the occasional hike.

Inspiration for my next protest sign.

Yellow highlighted text from John Steinbeck’s book The Grapes of Wrath “..great owners with access to history, with eyes to read history and to know the great fact: when property accumulates in too few hands it is taken away. And that companion fact: when a majority of the people are hungry and cold they will take by force what they need. And the little screaming fact that sounds through all history: repression works only to strengthen and knit the repressed.”

Book cover is an illustration of a young woman in American Revolution period dress sitting in a tree. She is looking down at two men on horses. At the top of the cover is a banner in red, white, and blue. In dark blue text is the title “Who Rides By?” and directly below in thin red text is the author’s name Margaret Leighton.

Book cover with black background. Image of woman’s profile, but the top half of her head (eyes up) is the head and horns of a steer in a vibrant shade of red. In large white text is the book title “Tender is the Flesh” and next to the title in small white type is the quote: “This book will pull you in, take hold, and not let go until you reach the final page. Without a doubt, my favorite read of this year. - Christina Dalcher, author of Vox” The image of the woman is stamped with a white circle (similar to a brand used on cattle) surrounding the author’s name Augustina Bazterrica.

Picked up The Grapes of Wrath from my local library. It’s been on my list and I figured it’s time.

gallantry: the quality of being brave when something is difficult or dangerous

#booksky #books #steinbeck #nokings
Page of text from the Introduction to The Grapes of Wrath. A portion of a Steinbeck quote is highlighted in read. It reads - “…And since our race admires gallantry, the writer will deal with it where he finds it. He finds it in the struggling poor now.”

Book cover with black background; it’s covered in tiny stars like the night sky. The cover is framed by long blonde hair, the book title Moon Tiger is printed on the tresses, and the face at the center is adorned with colorful drawings; a crescent moon on the forehead, a blue flower surrounds the left eye, the right eye is framed by an Egyptian symbol with a tear drop under it; the nose is made of a cobra snake atop a severed hand that is balanced on a red book; the mouth is small and red. Under the mouth is a white bone and the chin has a setting Sun with wings. A palm tree adorns the right cheek. Beneath the face is a blue flower. The left petal has the authors first name (Penelope) and the right petal had the authors last name (Lively).

Practiced this Strawberry Shortcake Cake for my niece’s 19th birthday.

Very new to baking, only have a few cakes and cookies in my repertoire. But it feels lovely to create something beautiful and delicious during the horrors.

Strawberry Shortcake Cake: Three layered semi-naked cake on a glass cake stand. Cake is covered in a thin layer of stabilized whipped cream. The top is decorated with thick swirls of cream and pieces of fresh strawberry sprinkled around the outer edge. Nestled in the middle are several large strawberries with the green tops intact to add a pop of color.

Happy #worldbookday

I’m currently reading a collection of Shirley Jackson’s short stories which includes the harrowing “The Lottery” but somehow it’s “Seven Types of Ambiguity” that made me tear up and my heart ache.
