My TV with three prints by April framed above it. They're crooked bc I was too lazy to straighten them.
Chicken and gnocchi soup 1 tbsp butter 1 tbsp oil 1 package chicken thighs 1 bag frozen mirepoix (or 1 bag carrots and 1 bag onions) 3 cartons chicken broth (full sodium) 3-4 bay leaves 2 packages gnocchi Salt (or celery salt) and pepper Heat butter and oil over medium high heat. Cut chicken into bite size chunks (I do this straight into the pan with scissors), season with salt and pepper and cook until the outside is cooked or browned (it's ok if you don't really get browning). Add mirepoix and cook until almost all of the water is gone and the vegetables look soft and jammy. Add chicken broth, pepper, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, skim off the foam, then reduce to a simmer for at least 25 minutes. Add the gnocchi, bring back to a boil, and cook until the gnocchi floats, then salt and pepper to taste!

Image from Giorgio Bertellini's "The Divo and the Five" showing Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, and others engaging in a fascist salute with a single arm raised (at the time this gesture was associated with Italian fascism and not yet linked to Nazism but it's the same thing)
Screenshot of Wikipedia with a quote from Warren G. Harding. "America's present need is not heroics, but healing; not nostrums, but normalcy; not revolution, but restoration; not agitation, but adjustment; not surgery, but serenity; not the dramatic, but the dispassionate; not experiment, but equipoise; not submergence in internationality, but sustainment in triumphant nationality." Warren G. Harding, speech before the Home Market Club, Boston, May 14, 1920

Screenshot of a Wikipedia article on Woodrow Wilson. The text reads "In 1919, Black veterans returning home to D.C. were shocked to discover Jim Crow laws had set in; many could not go back to the jobs they held prior to the war or even enter the same building they used to work in due to the color of their skin. Booker T. Washington described the situation: "I had never seen the colored people so discouraged and bitter as they are at the present time."
