Octavia Butler predicted our dystopian present. What can a futurist learn from her chilling accuracy?

We shouldn't need a Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, but here we are. Still underpaid. Still undervalued.

66 cents on the dollar means we lose thousands every year, for doing the same job.

Over a lifetime? That’s hundreds of thousands gone.

Pay Black women. Period.

This seems an excellent day to post a pic of the burning Reichstag in Berlin. Hitler blamed the 1933 fire on communists and used it as a pretext to suspend civil liberties and to allow the Nazis to peruse "ruthless confrontation" with German citizens.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

"What did PBS shows teach you?"

Mister Rogers taught us feelings are mentionable and manageable.

Reading Rainbow taught us discovering books is joy.

Sesame Street taught us learning through the kindness of community by way of our friends.

Bill Nye taught us to observe wonder through science.

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992.

Was there a breast cancer epidemic?!

NO.

Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976.

PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something.

This is also about autism.
