You’ve spent years changing things for everyone else. This season, let yourself be one of the things that changes. #OctaviaButler
@sistahscifi.bsky.social📚 How did you meet Octavia E. Butler? Andrea Hairston, Jewelle Gomez, Duane Horton and Eboni Dunbar told us at the San Francisco Public Library. One photocopied all of Kindred. One walked off with a copy.

People feared Orwell's 1984 but the real warning was in 1993's Parable of the Sower.

@vinr-mims.bsky.socialWhile we are talking about fiction that resonates & starts in fictional California, #OctaviaButler & #ParableOfTheSower would like a word. Please read these books. Think about what they say about where we are headed. Choices matter. Inaction is still a choice. #ArtPredictsLife
@pjbzappa.bsky.social"Sometimes the only thing more dangerous than frightened, confused, desperate people looking for solutions is frightened, confused, desperate people finding and settling for truly bad solutions." --Octavia Butler #octaviabutler
@joeokonkwo.bsky.socialRereading this masterpiece by #OctaviaButler.
@elanorlandrie.bsky.socialSad day 😔. I'm trying not to finish Survivor too quickly because it's the last piece of Octavia Butler's fiction I will ever read for the first time.

@corry.usAs always, somehow Octavia knows where I’m at from 33 years ago.

@pauladroege.bsky.socialS3E4: We usually think that hope is a good thing, a source of comfort and strength in trouble. But is it? The Problem with Hope considers ways in which hope is deceptive or foolish or oppressive. youtu.be/AkvTBay-i2c #Hope #Ethics #Religion #OctaviaButler #Tillich
@pjbzappa.bsky.social#OctaviaButler was so on the nose.
@bexxymov.bsky.social📚 I read Parable of the Sower when I was young, during my dystopian phase.
Apparently, that phase never ended. 😂
Reading it now, the parallels to today feel a little too fucking familiar.
Some books get scarier with age.
