I loved #ParableoftheSower as well and am reading #ParableoftheTalents now. I’ve been suggesting #OctaviaEButler to everyone. She was amazing. Bizarrely prescient. She’s required reading at this point.

Cover des Buches "Parabel der Talente" von Octavia E. Butler. Eine Faust, die sich aus Ketten befreit
Make America Great Again in dem Buch "Die Parabel der Talente" von Octavia E. Butler, das 1998 erschien.
Irgendwie schrill, dass man das in nem Buch von 1998 liest...
#octaviaebutler
Aber auch klar, wenn das schon von Ronnie Reagan benutzt wurde.

If you are someone who says "Keep politics out of reading spaces," you are part of the problem. Reading within itself is political.

A social post from @lifeboatacademy which says: “Drowning people Sometimes die Fighting their rescuers.” — Octavia E. Butler
In times of breakdown, even help can feel like a threat.
This isn’t about blame — it’s about what happens when fear, exhaustion, and loss of trust are already in the body. Fair share begins with attunement, not force.

Photo of my kindle paperwhite with the quote from the above post highlighted. The entire text on the page reads: even less well-funded public schools..? Well, tough! The problem, of course, with throwing people away is that they don't go away. They stay in the society that turned its back on them. And whether that society likes it or not, they find all sorts of things to do. Here in California, a few years ago voters passed an initiative intended to prevent illegal aliens from using our schools and hospitals. The courts have so far prevented this fantastically stupid law from being enforced, but what bothers me is, a majority of voting Californians thought it would be a really good idea to share our state with large numbers of sick, uneducated people. Of course, the true goal was to force the illegals out, but as long as there are jobs here even dirty, ill-paid, dangerous jobs—needy people from other con-tries will come here. Best they maintain their health, and in doing so, maintain the public health. And best their children go to school and become the educated Americans that the country will need for a positive future. Parable of the Talents and Parable of the Sower, after all, are about the kind of society we might wind up with otherwise. Book complete 99%
From the book discussion w/ #OctaviaEButler at the end of #ParableOfTheTalents:
The problem, of course, with throwing people away is that they don't go away. They stay in the society that turned its back on them. And whether that society likes it or not, they find all sorts of things to do.

A few summers ago I had a literary infatuation with Octavia E Butler.
One of her notable novels is Parable of the Talents. I just wrote a review of it in which I share my thoughts about her work.
Come and take a look.

Freedom is dangerous but it's precious, too. You can't just throw it away or let it slip away. You can't sell it for bread and pottage.”
