From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING
Choose your leaders
with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward
is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool
is to be led
by the opportunists
who control the fool.
To be led by a thief
is to offer up
your most precious treasures
to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask
to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant
is to sell yourself
and those you love
into slavery.
Octavia E. Butler, 1998:

Photo of a partial page of a book "Chapter One".... "After procuring several fervent assurances that his wife would apologize sincerely and deeply for his absence from Rosings that evening. Mr Collins reluctantly died."
Perhaps the best opener to a Pride & Prejudice sequel in The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet by Lindz McLeod.

Not to make everything about Heated Rivalry but Project Hail Mary would have been 100x better with one of those leading actors instead of woodface Gosling. Bring back facial expression!! #projecthailmary #heatedrivalry

Blue chalk art on pavement depicting a fighter jet bombing some buildings and a child's school bag with love hearts on it, sitting in a pool of liquid (implied blood) with love hearts in it as well
I love chalktivism #nelsonnz

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

We are never going to forget that the whole world watched as Israel burned Gaza for years. There is no actual ceasefire. No help is coming, there is nothing else that can happen to convince the world to help, we've seen it all. What tipping point could possibly exist?
