As a public librarian and a Hurricane Katrina survivor, I’ve seen a lifetime of the results of deep structural inequity—up close and personal. I write political speculative fiction to imagine better futures, confront hard realities, and remind myself (and anyone listening) that real change is possible. Imagining better futures—political speculation, real-world stakes.

NO MERCY

So after 41 days of government shutdown, the longest on record, Democrats caved on the continuing resolution to fund the government.  They acquired nothing that they had wanted, especially maintaining the healthcare subsidies, except a “promise“ to vote on the subsidies in December – a promise that will be broken, of course. 

The vote was taken late on Sunday night, in the hopes people wouldn’t lea

R. Buckminster Fuller
“We should do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.”
Buckminster Fuller

“Creativity is an act of drinking water from the infinite, a way of communicating with the divine.”
Jose Ruiz, The Medicine Bag: Shamanic Rituals & Ceremonies for Personal Transformation

“I believe in [the] God who reveals Himself in the orderly harmony of what exists.”
