Octavia Butler really has me thinking about the nature of God, about structure and change, and about the power of words. #TheParableOfTheSower #BookSky

Just finished Octavia Butler's #theparableofthesower after a 2+ month wait from my public library.

The wait was worth it. Jeez, how could she have predicted today's America in 1993?

And prophetic to boot, EXTREMELY relevant to the present moment. #theparableofthesower #theparableofthetalents

If you haven't read #TheParableoftheSower by Octavia Butler, please do it. Should be required reading for this time, and the lessons it teaches are just mind alteringly good.

Just started re-reading The Hunger Games while I wait for The Parable of the Sower to become available on Libby. It feels appropriate. #TheHungerGames #TheParableOfTheSower #Libby

Octavia Butler
was right about everything

“All that you touch
You Change.

All that you Change
Changes you.

The only lasting truth
Is Change.

God
Is Change.”

Octavia Butler left us in 2006 but the legacy is vast and beautiful. Bloodchild is thrilling, and maybe the TV show #kindred based on her novel of the same name is a good intro too, but for me? It’s #theparableofthesower this biting social critique wrapped in astute speculative clothing. Go on now.
The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky
