Loved this! We need more tales of resistance these days. Thank you!🙏

And a fun fact: I bought a reindeer-shaped cookie cutter over the holidays just so I could make deer-shaped treats for Artemis!

Loved reading about this story and how a simple baked good like a cake plays such a pivotal role not only in asylum but how they are equal to blood offerings! I’ll never look at cake the same way! And it made me think of other times we hear about the political role of cake, like the alleged quote of Marie Antoinette “let them eat cake” now has a new layer of meaning - was this the pivotal point of transference of power to the people?
