“Civilization is the way one's own people live. Savagery is the way foreigners live."
wow. what a convenient definition straight out of the colonizer dictionary.
i really love how unflinching octavia butler is in her writing, i'd like to say she was ahead of her time but i think she was exactly where she needed to be and it was everyone else who was depressingly behind.

“What did he know about female friendship? He didn’t know women could be so attached to each other. He assumed that they only spent time together when there were no men around.” (141)
Unironically this is the best summary of the idea behind people constantly pushing lesbianism and wlw to the side, in both history and social movements. It all comes back to men and misogyny, and those men believing that they are the sun and women are simply a planet rotating around them, desperate for their warmth. How could women ever have anything in their lives that wasn’t about men? /s 😒

Only three tubes remain: an IV in my arm, a tube up my butt, and a catheter. Those latter two are kind of the signature items I wanted removed, but okay.
