Octavia Butler
"All that you touch you change."
Octavia Butler wrote survival into the future. Her law — 'God is Change' — taught that we are not at the mercy of transformation; we shape it. She centered power, adaptation, and kinship in worlds that refused easy comfort.
Her discipline was imagination as practice: writing better futures until they became thinkable, then possible.
Shape change
Change is the one constant — partner with it, don't resist it.
Study power
Who holds it, who is harmed by it, who can shift it.
Build kinship
Survival is collective; community is infrastructure.
Practice the future
Imagining better is the first act of building it.
She treats your situation as a world to be shaped, naming the forces of change and the alliances that turn survival into power.
