Para el turno de mañana:
La fotógrafa que #Consonni ha escogido para sus cubiertas de #SagaDelTejido de #OctaviaEButler (ay si levantase la cabeza🤦🏻‍♀️) usa #IAgenerativa #Midjourney , es parte de una empresa de #IAgen y defiende el uso de #IA con insultos a lectoras de Consonni que lo hemos criticado.

Pero cómo vas a apoyar a una persona enajenada que defiende una visión política donde la mayoría de tus lectoras están en contra de manera visceral. Y que además se está dedicando a insultar a las personas que te compran libros y en muchos casos los publicitan gratis. 🫣

A screenshot of an electronic version of an excerpt from Octavia E. Butler's book Parable Of The Sower. The excerpt reads as this Mars is a rock—cold, empty, almost airless, dead. Yet it’s heaven in a way. We can see it in the night sky, a whole other world, but too nearby, too close within the reach of the people who’ve made such a hell of life here on Earth.

Love that LAPL's Octavia Lab has a small library of #OctaviaEButler books. Quote from the book by @lynellgeorge.bsky.social:

“In her old neighborhood of North #Pasadena, there are no plaques or honorary pocket parks named in her honor, nothing that tells us that this was the soil of inspiration.”
The focus of this color photo is the book by Lynell George titled "a handful of earth / a handful of sky: the world of Octavia E. Butler." The Octavia Lab's open reel deck can be seen in the background. An an excerpt from the book reads: In her old neighborhood of North Pasadena, there are no plaques or honorary pocket parks named in her honor, nothing that tells us that this was the soil of inspiration. This isn't to say that there isn't a deep and enduring love for Butler that still exists in this corner of Pasadena amid the compact cottages and well-tended California bungalows. One of her former childhood schools has recently named its library in her honor. Residents and old friends keep her alive in stories. She was a fixture on the landscape, waiting for buses, beneath a canopy of sycamore trees, taking her brisk early morning hike up Lake Avenue, out of Pasadena into Altadena, tipping toward the majestic outline of the San Gabriels. Those mountains, on a clear day, look like a paper backdrop-a view you might, if you're not careful, push your hand through. In 2015, I was commissioned by Julia Meltzer to create a text, a "posthumous interview," for the L.A.-based arts nonprofit Clock-shop for a major retrospective of Butler's work and legacy.

You don’t start out #writing good stuff. You start out writing crap and thinking it’s good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it.

And don't choose a felon with 34 convictions who is all of these rolled into one!

#OctaviaEButler #ParableOfTheTalents
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, 'Parable of the Talent'

#ParableOfTheSower (1993) by #OctaviaEButler is set in an imagined future that happens to be our present day. I've just reached the point in the book where it's become my future as well.

I'm still reeling from hearing about Octavia E. Butler's grave being swept up in the California wild fires this year. It's a poetic injustice. Let's try to learn some lessons from her this year.

I agree with @tananarivedue.bsky.social , those aliens were eugenicists and worse.

They'll likely get into the interspecies throuple, colonialism, slavery, of it all.

But given the current environment, wld love to hear about conflict that arises from the Oankali's eugenicist beliefs and Butler's consistent theorization of #disability in her books (Schalk, Pickens, etc.). #Lit
