Neither humans nor Oankali have a concept of sufficiency or enough... did Butler expect us to notice and care or not? Outside the scope or not?
The portrait of Octavia Butler came down today at the end of the Otolith Group’s exhibition at IMMA. #OctaviaButler #OtolithGroup #IMMA #RoyalHospitalKilmainham #Xenogenesis CW eye contact

The frame of “books to know me” was interesting. Haven’t consciously thought about some of these books in years, but I guess it’s not meant to be seven books taking up the most space in my head.

So glad to see Octavia Butler experiencing a renaissance of sorts. Such a great writer.
