Once again, Houghton will celebrate Emily Dickinson’s birthday with a cake baked according to her own handwritten recipe found in our collections. Modern Books and Manuscripts Assistant Johnna Purchase talks about her experience making it—you can try it for yourself on December 8th. https://sites.harvard.edu/houghtonmodern/2023/11/17/baking-emily-dickinsons-black-cake/
It's great to see the manuscript for Dickinson's #cake#recipe, which looks so much like the manuscripts for her #poems.
And in case you're wondering, I once had lunch with the late #poet Richard Eberhart who recounted talking to an elderly man from Amherst who recounted that when he was a tyke Dickinson would bake him #cookies and lower them to him through her upstairs window.
Mastodon help? I’m trying to post my first #FensterFreitag#WindowFriday photo, but when I upload the photo I get the following error message: “422 Validation failed: File has contents that are not what they are reported to be”. I took the photo on an iPhone.
I’ve never had this problem before. Can anyone help?
Thanks for your encouragement. You asked for an update: I redid the photo on Photoshop and that made it work. Maybe there was some kind of flaw in the original photo.
@taylorlorenz This is good. Kids in Houston don't need books. After all, most of them already have their own phones. If they read books too, that might distract them from TikTok and from their schoolwork.
