"All too often in the past, science fiction writers made things easy for themselves by portraying a white, middle-class, male-dominated universe, even attributing white, middle-class, male values to their 'alien' races. I'm not comfortable writing about such a universe, behaving as though it represented the one true way." -Octavia Butler

I looked into the yellow eyes, wondering how much I saw and understood there, and how much I only imagined.

Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over.
-- Octavia Butler
(Riomaggiore, Italy)

someone should have introduced octavia butler to omegaverse, she'd have had a field's day with it and written by far the most interesting and complex and fucked up version of it possible.

“Sometimes I wrote things because I couldn’t say them, couldn’t sort out my feelings about them, couldn’t keep them bottled inside me.”

Andreea Kindryd was a production assistant on the original Star Trek back in the 1960s, and was heavily involved in the civil rights movement alongside Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. She became one of the first Black women movie/TV producers, and was friends with Octavia Butler. She's written a memoir called From Slavery to the Stars that just came out, and it's well worth picking up. Please show her some love!

Parable of the Sower is legitimately the scariest book I’ve ever read.
