The mentality of tyrants. And he's pretty much right. He CAN shoot someone and get away with it, because he has a fanatical support and powerful buddies and money. Justice is different for the elite. And power corrupts those already corrupt to a degree that stuns.

Losing a mom is one of the WORST things in life. I was depressed for more than two years after losing mine (granted, her suffering with disease prior was horrendous). First time I took antidepressants. And last. You have my condolences. I know that pain. I have the hope of reunion one day.

She sounds like she fits right in with the guy who said he could get away with murder. (And yeah, given all he's gotten away with, he prolly would.)

They don't listen. It's never, ever a good idea to vote for racist, greedy, lying, egomaniacal people who think those who aren't rich are "losers" and "worthless." And that's what our incoming president is and what he thinks of the vast majority of us.

My head nearly exploded when I discovered her in the 1980s (first novel I read by her was BIRTHGRAVE, which i didn't love as much as the Flat Earth series. . I was like, "this prose is killing me with beauty." She was amazing. I was so sad when I heard she passed on. My shelves have MANY by Tanith.

I own three of those. I also collect retro sci-fi (esp Richard Powers) and those beautiful Kinuko Y Craft, John Jude Palencar, etc covers. Sci-fi and fantasy have the best damn covers.

My wish for the inauguration is a freezing blizzard that keeps people home.

If I had a home by the water in LA and other fire-prone areas, I'd definitely have a raft, boat, something that if the highways/streets were impassable, I'd be out on the water just to survive. I mean, if you can afford a million plus house, a boat/raft ain't a big investment.

That image of a row of houses RIGHT BY THE OCEAN along the PCH and they are ASHES....just astounding. It's funny that we think, "Oh, they're right by water..." Yeah, that's not safe, either. Dear Lord.

I just say "She writes FABULOUSLY."

“‘I didn’t make up the problems,’ [she] pointed out. ‘All I did was look around at the problems we’re neglecting now and give them about 30 years to grow into full-fledged disasters.’”

Octavia has passed on and used bookstores tend to carry sci-fi. I'd try one of those. I stilli have my old paperback copies of several of her works. I just have to find the box I put them in when I moved and are still in the garage.

It's chilling sometimes how prophetic sci-fi can be.
