Miharu tilted her head; she was still a bit worried that ancient disagreements would somehow boil over. But Dalyet had asked for teachers from diverse faiths. “Let's hope they all get along. Next, Senior Scholar Ilyon, are there any issues you or the other Teewuns would like to bring up?” Ilyon waggled his ears slightly, his version of a chuckle. “None at all. Captain Chelya has explained to us that we should be completely happy with whatever food and accommodations are available on the trip. He said we should save all our complaints and protests for Governor Dalyet.” Miharu laughed. “You know, I rather admire Captain Chelya's approach to these things. If there’s nothing else, you now have one week off to take care of any personal things you need to wrap up. I’ll see you all aboard Cirrus Fire Max a week from tomorrow.”

A few months ago I read MASTER, SLAVE, HUSBAND, WIFE by Ilyon Woo, which tells the story of an enslaved couple who escaped Macon, Georgia, by disguising her as a white woman and him as her servant, and ended up in Boston in 1848, just as all this was kicking off.

One of the best books I've recently read, Master Slave Husband Wife by Ilyon Woo, also won a Pulitzer Prize yesterday. It's about self-emancipation & the even longer journey to true safety and mental & emotional liberation.
Awarded to Master Slave Husband Wife: An Epic Journey from Slavery to Freedom, by Ilyon Woo (Simon & Schuster), a rich narrative of the Crafts, an enslaved couple who escaped from Georgia in 1848, with light-skinned Ellen disguised as a disabled white gentleman and William as her manservant, exploiting assumptions about race, class and disability to hide in public on their journey to the North, where they became famous abolitionists while evading bounty hunters." Book cover image featuring the protagonists' pictures over a boat traveling on a waterway past a pasture.

We will be going on a brief, intermittent hiatus over the next few weeks as Ilyon takes some time off to say goodbye to a pet. Thanks for understanding.

Ilyon answered softly with forced composure, “Captain Chelya will be fine. But you should probably leave him be for a while. Come sit, and I’ll get you a whiskey.” Ilyon glanced at her team and continued, “Amber, Daiki, Jeff, welcome. It’s good to see you. Please find a seat. I’ll pour whiskey for everyone—unless someone wants something else?” Miharu glanced back at her people. Amber’s eyes twinkled in amusement, Daiki was smirking, but Jeff was slack-jawed. It occurred to Miharu that Jeff had never seen her dark side before. Miharu waved them toward the chairs. “Show’s over. I got carried away, but I’m calm now. Have a seat.”

This patch 7.1 big fish isn't the most exciting, but it's caught in a pretty fishing hole during good weather.

Thumbnail for fruity's guide. It has fruity snacks on the right reeling in a fish in his teal fishing jacket (it's actually a carpenter's top, shhh don't tell anyone), with a black and orange hat. The bottom of the thumbnail has "How to catch ilyon asoh cichlid." In white then yellow text. The upper left corner has Ilyon Asoh Cichlid's icon on top of a yellow gradient tab in the corner

The abolitionist William Craft was born 200 years ago today.* Who was he, and why should we remember him?

*Wikipedia and other sites list September 25, 1824 as Craft’s birthday, but his biographer Ilyon Woo gives it as 9/22/1823 on page 31 (see image) of her recent book (more on which below!).
Image from page 31 of the book Master Slave Husband Wife by Ilyon Woo. It gives William Craft’s birth date as September 22, 2023.

Miharu nodded. “Okay, Senior Scholar Ilyon, the Titan Colony and Teewun physiology—that’s two taboo topics. What’s the third?” Ilyon sighed and leaned back into his chair. “What is the saying? The last shall be first? Well, the third topic was the first one we made taboo. The Council decided this soon after our scientists determined that Earth was home to a sentient species. It’s taboo to tell humans what happened to our home system.” Miharu caught her breath. Thousands of humans had asked the Teewuns, “What happened to your home planets?” But every inquiry was rebuffed.
