I was just talking about this @amaniras.bsky.social last week. By calling her a prophet implies that her work just appears by the powers that be, instead of her writing & research being a craft and skill that she shaped and molded with her intellect and creativity. It devalues her important writing.
Reminded that Butler was not a prophet, rather she was someone who paid attention. She constantly read newspapers & academic research articles on cults, climate change, racism & sexism. She saw the patterns & signs & tried to warn us.

"In hindsight, her warnings about climate change, authoritarianism, and survival feel less like fiction and more like prophecy."

About a month ago, I posted how my daughter has had her student loans forgiven. Yesterday she received her “golden email” informing her that FSFA has passed that info on the loan servicer. She is one step closer to seeing them zeroed out! Thank Joe & Kamala

The same Republicans who have made an absolute spectacle over which bathroom a transgender Congresswoman could use, completely ignored how the traitorous ex-president used one of his.

I will not allow racism, sexism, and misogynoir to be erased from the analyses of the 2024 presidential election. I welcome anyone who wants to help me.

I am finding it quite unbearable to watch Sarah McBride bear the grotesque attack of her colleagues with so much grace. I know it is what we have been taught to expect of trailblazers, but I am increasingly struggling to accept this.

A fuckton of folks are obeying in advance already & while it’s unsurprising, it’s still really sad.
If you can’t stand for what you believe in this moment, when so much we face requires it, then you weren’t meant for this fight.
Man the fuck up or shut the fuck up.
We got shit to do.

My daughter has been really struggling with student loan debt which had ballooned enormously because of the way unpaid interest would be rolled into the principal. republican AGs blocked Biden’s plans BUT yesterday daughter learned her two biggest loans have been forgiven! Thank you, Joe
