pickWoo Hoo! I've finished my Challenge to Read everything on the 2018 Banned or Challenged List. First quiet morning at home in ages. Spent it reading #11👬.
This Day in June was the only one not available from my local Library. I bought a copy to read and donated. I'll reread Marlon Bundo during Banned Books Week. 🐰

One of my all time favorite movies is The Defiant Ones, with Sidney Poitier and Tony Curtis. It's been remade a couple of times but the first one is the best.
I remember this episode well, when Riker showed up I was like WTF is he doing on DS9, but then after the reveal, it made perfect sense Thomas would have joined the Maquis, always the rebel. Riker and Kira made a cute couple though.

pickThe world was not worthy of the young men and women whose stories are told here. #defiant #startreksummerjune
“Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.”
My apologies for the Kardashian/Cardassian connection. It‘s where my brain went. I followed. And it actually works nicely with the quote (in my mind). Just another layer on the onion that is my contributions to the monthly challenges.

I like memoirs/nonfiction by women who are #Defiant about Western cultural norms of beauty/thinness. As a bigger woman myself, I feel a kinship with them.
I chose #Defiant as the first day of #StarTrekSummerJune because it‘s the name of the ship that the DS9ers use. The episode also closes up the Will Riker body double storyline, & it opens up a number of storylines eventually leading the Cardassians to join the Dominion. & I love Kira episodes!
