I truly wonder how many of the orgs and bizs coopting "change is the only constant" quotes from Octavia Butler actually read Parable of the Sower.

I truly feel that anyone who read and understood it would be doing a whole lot more to protect marginalized peoples.

The dissonance is interesting.

I'm watching the documentary "Poisoned" on Netflix and whew, I just got extra motivation to make my garden thrive. Every food related documentary I see makes me even more determined to become self sufficient with produce if nothing else

Storygraph and libraries are truly the most valuable players in the reading world rn. Storygraph and my Libby app shake hands every day *for free* but honestly everyone should have and use both.
