Apparently yesterday was the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald and my kid is disappointed that we didn’t have a cake. So today I’m making a Belated 50th Anniversary of the Sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald Victoria Sponge.

That’s lovely to hear! Thanks for your support. I’m sad about Carnation too.

An image of the cover of the novel A Land so Wild by Elyssa Warkentin. The background comprises a historical painting of a stormy arctic sea with a ship fighting the waves against the backdrop of a snow-capped mountain and an icy shoreline.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.
