Poet and Machk talk about gas stations. And pumpkins.
🎃

Page 2 of the comic. Transcription follows. Machk: ...wait, do you know what we're talking about? You remember what a gas station is? Poet: Yes... I don't know who I am, but... I know what things are. I can ride a bike, and knew this is something you wear... Poet tugs on the edge of his cloak. Machk: And a farm is...? Poet: It's... He hesitates, and gestures to the desert around them. Poet: Like this. Machk: So specific. Poet: That's it, I'm leaving. Machk: Haha. Then how will I ever show you what a gas station looks like? Don't you wanna see one? We could ransack it. Gently. Poet thinks to himself; I hope the world ended on halloween. Poet: Yea.

Comic of Machk and Poet walking and talking in the desert. Transcription follows. Machk: You know what I miss? Gas stations. Poet: Why? Machk: I dunno. I miss my car, but, those places had everything. You could get all these shitty snacks and a cup of lukewarm coffee for your roadtrip... it was... just there. All ready to grab and eat. It was so easy. Poet imagines various pumpkin flavored pastries, and drools. Poet: Was any of it pumpkin flavored? There is an image of a pumpkin spice latte, slice of pumpkin pie, and a halloween candy bar. Machk: Maybe at halloween. Then everything would be. Poet: There should be a store that only sells pumpkin food. Machk: Like... a farm? We still have those...

    I finished: Land of Milk and Honey by C Pam Zhang

    While I enjoyed the romance and the politics, I didn't connect to the cooking or the sci-fi.

    Even before the cooking turned grotesque, it didn't speak in a language I understood, and when I understood it felt blunt.

    Same thing for the science, it didn't seem to add up in any meaningful way. It's there as setting.

    I'd recommend reading The Arrest by Jonathan Lethem.

    It tackles the same subject but it a more convincing way. Though it doesn't deal as much with issues of race, feminism and lgbtq.
