Dear Berenice: Imagine you’re stuck on a desert island. You can choose two other people to be stuck with you: one from your team and one from the Saint Catherine team. The Three of you are the only humans there. Who do you choose and why?

My team: Reuben.

Saint Catherine team: Reid.

The Fischer brothers are some of the most absurdly overpowered men on the planet, which is definitely an advantage in a desert island scenario. Both of them can make shelters and boats with their powers, and I’m assuming that at least one of them could somehow produce fire with their powers. 

#dearberenice, if you could change one thing about your life right now, what would it be?

I’m pretty content most of these days. I don’t like to dwell on the parts of my life that didn’t go well. But sometimes, when I’m lying awake at night, I think about Abby. Don’t get me wrong, I miss Topher so much that my stomach aches, but there was something about Abby’s death that haunts me like no other.

Did you all know that I had a twin sister, Emmeline? She died of sepsis when we were thirteen. Abby was my replacement for her, if I’m being honest. Whenever she did patrol, she always patrolled with me. She was wickedly funny, and I’ll fight anyone who says she wasn’t smart. She just marched to the beat of her own drum, and she was never supposed to be on a team. 

But finding out about Edward Yazzie was hard, because it meant that she had parts of herself that she’d never revealed, and it makes me wonder what else about Abby I didn’t know. What were her dreams? What were her greatest hopes? 

And I’ll never know. And it kills me.

There’s a lot to unpack here.
+the flexibility to get in that pose
+the balance to stay on the skateboard
+the strength to pull back a bowstring with your toes
+the dexterity to hit a target while moving
+the coordination… not hand-eye, but foot-eye
…I don’t know what to do with these things now that I’ve unpacked them…

This is my friend’s baby sister!! She’s so talented and sweet and funny and hard working. She has goals of performing in Cirque du Soleil and is currently working with one of the program’s gymnastic coaches I believe!

Amazing.

The creators of ideas are in such a privileged situation that they see choices of food as a luxury. They can’t even imagine a situation where the price of foods are an issue for someone.

Remember that they’re doing this at the same time they’re pushing bug meat and cockroach milk as a good thing. 

Remember that while journalists and politicians eat filet mignon and lobster, they’re making ordinary meat more expensive for us.

Remember that these two things are related.
