Sheila LimingThe street I grew up on (in the Seattle suburbs) is being renamed for the sci-fi writer Octavia E. Butler! And I helped to make it happen!
This is fabulously exciting.
WhatTheChel@seeshespeak This is awesome!
Kumar McMillan@seeshespeak that’s amazing ✨ The Xenogenesis series is such a profound set of stories — they’ve stuck with me in many ways.
@kumarvibe an incredible and profoundly imaginative set of books, yes

Voline@seeshespeak Nice! I wonder if we can get a street in Portland re-named after Ursula K Le Guin …
@Voline fully support!
Broken Troland@seeshespeak My partner bikes on that street every time she goes to archery practice. It’s right on the way to the Burke Gilman from Lake City and now we’ll have a little story every time we go by.
@brandonlivesin when you see the little blue house with all the flowers, that my parents’; the little brown one directly across from it was Butler’s
James Gifford@seeshespeak Sheila! Wow!!
Bodhipaksa@seeshespeak That is exciting! And how wonderful to have known such an extraordinary writer.
Cera Cole@seeshespeak Love this!
My Boston@seeshespeak good for you. We all need more interesting street names. In my city multiple streets are named Washington 🤔
Nagaram@seeshespeak oh boy! Another scifi author to read!
@Nagaram you won’t regret it!
