'embrace diversity. / unite — / or be divided, / robbed, / ruled, / killed / by those who see you as prey. / embrace diversity / or be destroyed.' #art #history: thank you, seattle edu-core band, bloodhag, for (literally) hitting me in the head with an octavia butler (who died #otd in 2006) tome. she broke all the rules & against incredible odds, she was the first black science fiction writer. you'll find solace in her words.
