The cover of the book Parable of the Sower.

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."

She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

I am unable to concentrate since I saw this pic. This is not just a doctor doing his job, or an oppressed man seeing his people decimated. This is conviction, dignity & courage beyond belief. No research wud be enough to explain Palestinian HCWs willingness-to-respond in a catastrophe like this.
