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

A political cult machine who vows to make America great again inflames these crises as 15 year old Lauren Olamina flees her community in search of a better life, creating a new religion, Earthseed.

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.

Let's all be the rain on this motherfucker's parade.

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

Time to post this again

I’m proud to call the amazing cartoonist Ed Wexler a friend.

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.

Dismayed egg in toast, gazing upon a disinterested sky. #nola #neworleans #toast

Perfect!

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

I don’t want to hear about the Hunter pardon ever again from these asswipes

Eric Adams was trash from the very beginning.

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.
