‘Parable of the Sower’
by Octavia E. Butler
Suicide mission type shit. America won't wake up until we're all grabbing what we can carry, throwing it in a satchel and running for our lives. They're letting him get away with unthinkable crimes against humanity under the guise of a "fake" presidency while he hides in a bunker.

I loved #ParableoftheSower as well and am reading #ParableoftheTalents now. I’ve been suggesting #OctaviaEButler to everyone. She was amazing. Bizarrely prescient. She’s required reading at this point.
#ParableoftheSower by #OctaviaButler came very highly recommended to me by an old professor of mine and when I finally got around to reading it, I LOVED it! It was a 10/10 for me. #ParableoftheTalents is next ☺️ #TBRuary #booksky #writesky #bookish #booklover #bookrec #bookreview #scifi #dystopian

“Treated” myself to some dystopian nightmares. Somehow I have never read this. Bring on the emotional trauma. #ParableOfTheSower
😭 This was so dark and heavy. So much death and just terrible crimes against all walks of life but especially girls and young women.

Started listening to the audiobook of Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower. I’ve read it before, but listening to it in 2026 there is an unsettling eerie/uncanny recognition.

A quote based meme. A small, yellow tinted photo of Octavia Butler, only her head is seen. Under the photo, white text on a black background, is the following quote. "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 lef by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery. ~ Octavia Butler"
Daily reminder, GENERAL STRIKE!

"'You're crazy as hell,' he said, but I like the soft, quiet way he said it—with amazement rather than ridicule."

"...I had helped him twice, and now I was a woman. It might take him a while to forgive me for that, no matter how grateful he was."

A book review that turned into a reality check. Octavia Butler’s “Parable of the Sower” feels less like fiction and more like a prophecy we’ve been warned about for decades. #ParableOfTheSower #OctaviaButler #BannedBooks #DystopiaOrReality #SmartBrownGirl #PoliticalEducation #BookTok #Bookstagram
