In my newest post, I write about how I discovered Resident Alien through the show, then explored the GN it’s based on. I reflect on those differences, representation, and fatherhood as themes in both versions. #residentalien #scifi #parenthood #graphicnovels #feminism #syfy #aliens #noir #crime

We have been warned in recent and distant history the dangers of allowing fascist regimes in power. I often teach my students that science fiction is reflective, not predictive. Here, it's both. #bookrecs #readingblog #earthseed #taketothestars #changeisgod #climayechange #nokings #deportice

Parable of the Sower isn't Octavia Butler's best book, but it's certainly the most relevant. Published in 1993 & set in 2024, #climatechange and social inequalities have made the US uninhabitable.

Lots of parents who don't read books are very frustrated these days that their kids don't read books.

This is what we mean when we talk about corporate greed: Starbucks gave its CEO $96 million for just 4 months of work. Meanwhile, Starbucks is refusing to offer a raise of more than 50 cents an hour to 12,000 union workers.

That's unacceptable. Starbucks must end their greed.

The author was tragic, and the protagonist, Ignatius, is such a complex character. Do you love him? Is he an og neck beard type? What is his root psychological problem? Whatever it is, great book. Strong rec to those out there. #nolafiction #booksky #nola #bookrecs

Just finished reading this for the third time. I'd read it first back in high school at the rec of my friend, Robyn. I read it again maybe 10 years ago. This third read was done in New Orleans, the setting of the novel. Being in the city helped me put so much together that I hadn't gotten before.

If they were let in, why did they climb the walls, break windows, and kill a police officer?

I've read all of Butler's books, but I've read the Xenogenesis series a few times over. It's such an incredible series.
