My latest project, plied up, with matching lilac blossoms

@cordillera No spoilers: It came out in 1993, but it's set in 2024+, with a young Black woman growing up in a U.S. that is both a horrifying dystopia, and completely recognizable. Octavia Butler saw a lot of threads that were present in the early 90s and before, and projected them into the future, and she was right about how a lot of things would trend.

One of the things I thought about when reading: sometimes hope is not a luxury. It's a dark but hopeful book.

I just finished listening to Parable of the Sower, and...jesus christ, you guys. I thought I'd read it before, long ago, but I didn't remember any of it. What an incredible and prescient book.

They had that at our hospital too-not that they require them now, infuriatingly, but when they did-and I put it on, walked away from the front desk, then put my KN95 on and put that stupid blue one on top.
