Being on a food podcast wasn't on my bucket list, but since Lydia Maria Child, in addition to being a tireless abolitionist, wrote a cookbook AND farmed sugar beets to undermine plantation sugar...I was!

On the clear, cold morning of December 29, 1890, on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, three U.S. soldiers tried to wrench a valuable Winchester away from a young Lakota man.

#Emerson describing #Swedenborg as a mastodon! The subject of my new bio, Lydia Maria Child, was a Swedenborgian for a time. Everything signifies!
Told my sister about #mastodon; she immediately explained that it meant "breast tooth" and why; have confirmed with OED. Posting example quote by Emerson next (not figuring out how to post bigger pics here)
