from “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler

“Do something!” say those who don’t know what to do. “Fight! Fight! Fight!” say those who would have you fight in their stead. “You need to lead us!” say those who actually wanted someone else to lead them. “But not her, and not like that!” they said.

Reading Parable of the Talents now by Octavia E Butler. Found this passage relevant to our times. Actually this entire book is relevant to our dystopian reality. #booksky #booktok

‘A DIFFERENT MAN’ wins Best Feature at the #GothamAwards

The Gotham for Beat Feature goes to .... A Different Man, which had otherwise been shut out. A nice moment for the A24 drama, which had taken a backseat to the studio's buzzer titles.

“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” -- James Baldwin, who died #OTD 1987

All that talk about “blue bracelets, pussyhats, tweeting online and women’s marches” ain’t gonna cut it if you’re talking about being a resistance. The blueprint has been in place for years, are you willing to make the sacrifice? 😒

Now is a good time to listen to or read "Lovely One: A Memoir” by Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. I love this book! She brings hope and inspiration to us all. I am grateful for her voice. Madam Justice, we are not giving up! You never did.

Really America? This is who we let get away.
