Have to get this off my chest.
#as a person who lives in LA#and is especially close to the Eaton fire (lost power for multiple days and packed my evacuation bags and didn’t unpack them for two weeks)#everyone bringing up Octavia Butler (local author) & saying she ‘predicted the future’ in Parable of the Sower#is not productive or helpful and at this point in the wake of this much destruction and tragedy (especially in a largely blackneighborhood)#is Upsetting! and rude!#like WHO are you helping by being like ummm this has been foretold for years and you all were just too fucking stupid to stop it#that’s what y’all sound like!!!! you sound like jackasses!#also it’s not accurate! and Octavia Butler wouldn’t be on y’all’s side either! she did not write the book as a prophecy#if she was alive she would denounce all the people and publications saying she predicted this!#she’d say this is a tragedy and we must come together Before things get worse and continue on this way#at this point you people sound GLEEFUL and like you WANT society to fall deeper into crisis both environmentally and politically#but if you’re Sooo Invested in Parable of the Sower as a prophetic text you know what the answer is in the book?the conclusion they come to#COMMUNITY. HELPING ONE ANOTHER IN THE FACE OF TRAGEDY!#also: homesteadding and a strange religion made up by a child#I don’t see any of y’all jumping to do any of those things.#like please give it a rest real people have lost everything and they don’t wanna hear you talk about a book many of y’all haven’t even read#I have KNOW people who’ve lost everything. I see people Every Day who are living in the aftermath of this. just please stop.#you don’t look smarter or more leftist or whatever you think you’re doing. you’re being callous.#(and when I say you I don’t mean like you reading this I mean the larger/general you of the public rn#unless you personally are also doing this then I ask you gently and kindly to please reevaluate)
