Gorgeous. And painful. In a good way. 💜

Really fantastic and thought provoking. Reminded me of two very different books.

1. You might already know this one. Braided Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer (https://bookshop.org/p/books/braiding-sweetgrass-robin-wall-kimmerer/16712606?ean=9781571313560). The book has lots of sections about walking and wondering.

2. And this Danish novel about a new type of workforce. "The human and humanoid crew members complain about their daily tasks in a series of staff reports and memos."

Thank you! I hadn't heard about the Olga Ravn novel -- I'm going to put that next on my reading list! :)

I really like these stories you’ve been writing lately. And the ideas you’re exploring in them.

Thank you for the mainly positive story; your bot character was the only respectful one in there! Rituals are so important if we are to remain humans.
