I have decided that I do want to write a book. However I have never written a nonfiction history book with the intent to publish or even attempted to research for something like this. I am feeling mightily unequal to the task.

Today’s #ootd us this 1930s gown by Margaret Marks. The silky biased cut satin dress with a slim silhouette is classic 1930s. Also note the stylized leaf appliqués in a different fabric that increases its textural appeal. Plus that bow! Oh the bow! #fashionhistory

It’s my Improbability of Puffins. I love this term of venery for puffins (who are indeed improbable looking sea birds). It’s part of my series of prints of groups of animals and the weird and wonderful collective nouns to describe them. #linocut #printmaking #puffins

Does anything sound more luscious than ‘raspberry velvet’ the fabric from which this #1920s evening dress was fashioned? Coupled with the gold embroidered insert and gilt oblong buckle it is a bright and richly textured gown, Maryland Center for History and Culture #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Going to the Neurologist today to discuss test results. All my humanities educated mind could understand was it’s not MS or Lyme or a brain tumor but there is something showing up in the results. So it’s not those dumpster fires but my body is SOME SORT of dumpster fire. 🤷‍♀️

Gave my first program at the library tonight on the lead up to the Revolutionary War. Did tolerably well considering the string of bad luck I’d had leading up to it today.
