Look for the enemies of Medicare, of higher minimum wages, of Social Security, of Federal aid to education, and there you will find the enemy of the Negro, the coalition of Dixiecrats and reactionary Republicans that seek to dominate the Congress.

—A. Philip Randolph, speaking at The March on Washington 60 years ago

Ray Bradbury saw the future, and the future is us.

One of my 4 favorite novels. I first read it in 1975, and it becomes more and more prescient every year.

Don't bother with any of the film adaptations; they're horribly rewritten (they turn the 17 year old girl MC into the protagonist's lover. WRONG). Just stick with the book. It has amazing, beautifully, powerfully written language. I recommend this novel for writers who want an example of mastery in images, pacing, and emotions.

Muad’Dib gave us a particular kind of knowledge about prophetic insight, about the behavior which surrounds such insight and its influence upon events which are seen to be "on line." (That is, events which are set to occur in a related system which the prophet reveals and interprets.) As has been noted elsewhere, such insight operates as a peculiar trap for the prophet himself. He can become the victim of what he knows-which is a relatively common human failing. The danger is that those who predict real events may overlook the polarizing effect brought about by overindulgence in their own truth. They tend to forget that nothing in a polarized universe can exist without its opposite being present.

The Prescient Vision By Harq Al-Ada (Page: 444. Novel: Children of Dune. Author: Frank Herbert)

“It seems inevitable that Elon Musk and the ADL will come to an understanding in which Twitter users CAN engage in virulent anti-semitism but CANNOT criticize the Israeli government, thus giving both sides what they care about most”

Michael Rolando Richards (August 2, 1963 – September 11, 2001) was an African-American sculptor of Jamaican and Costa Rican ancestry who was killed during the September 11 attacks while in his art studio on the 92nd Floor of the World Trade Center's North Tower. He explored his African-American history and identity through sculpture, conceptual art, and installation pieces. Influenced by the Black Arts Movement of the 1970s, Richards delved into African-American history and folklore for images that would expose the contradictions of American society. Richards worked primarily in bronze.

Richards's 1999 sculpture Tar Baby vs. St. Sebastian featured a Tuskegee Airman portrayed as St. Sebastian and was a part of his "Tuskegee Airmen Collection" that he spent over ten years creating. St. Sebastian was an early Christian martyr and the patron saint of soldiers and athletes because of his physical endurance. St. Sebastian was executed by being shot full of arrows for protecting captured Christians he was supposed to imprison. However, in this sculpture, it was a Tuskegee Airman who was being pierced by multiple airplanes. Tar Baby vs. St. Sebastian measures seven feet tall and is made out of resin and steel. Richards actually cast his own body in plastic resin to create this sculpture and others.

Hi!! For the WIP ask:

19. Where does the word “shoulders” appear in both fics?

Sunset:

“Is that Portuguese?” she asks Pat over her shoulder as she remains completely angled toward Achilles.

Chrysalis:

And after weeks spent on the surface doing little more than traveling from dying mortal to dying mortal, Thanatos drinks in this moment of peace, the sound of the waves crashing in the distance, the clicks of crabs skittering along the shore, the wind in his hair having already knocked his hood off to hang across his shoulders.

#that chrysalis one is definitely getting edited lmao #wrote it like 20 minutes ago #actually both of these sentences were from this morning #prescient
