My favorite dystopian novel that comes to mind is Moon of the Crusted Snow by Waubgeshig Rice.

I finished watching season 3 of Picard this week, and it was so nostalgic for Star Trek Next Generation and Voyager fans. I find myself reading seasonally nowadays: sci-fi/dystopian/gothic in the fall, more literary/classic in the winter, and romance/adventure in the spring/summer.

I only noticed it during the last couple years, but as soon as I realized it about myself, I was like DUH :)

Love that you included photos of the actual recipe cards...on one of the recent Poetry Unbound episodes, the host referred to recipe cards as a form of poetry and that really resonated with me...also I LOVE anything written by a human hand, ink/pencil to paper. 💜

The blackberries are so close. I’m glad you got to read the story. Thanks for all your kind words this week. When I was younger, I wanted to be useful, but to be reciprocal, wow! See you tomorrow morning.
