Quote by Tade Thompson

“Some asshole tried to cure malaria by gene-editing the plasmodium parasite that causes it. Worked for most strains, but a hardy, drug-resistant plasmodium emerged that just kills the few people who get it. So, prevalence is down but mortality is up. Way up.”

“I was scared. Not of the writing – but of remembering. Of telling the truth about the moments I was still scared to speak about out loud. The drugs. The betrayal. The jail cell. The blood on the sheets. The men who hit me. The ones I went back to anyway. The shame. The silence. But I knew this was the right time. Because I finally didn’t care about being judged. I cared about being real. That was the day I realized – telling my story wasn’t about fixing the past. It was about finally letting it go.”

“Accepting Uncle Tom’s Cabin as revelation second only to the Bible, the Yankee women all wanted to know about the bloodhounds which every Southerner kept to track down runaway slaves. And they never believed her when she told them she had only seen one bloodhound in all her life and it was a small mild dog and not a huge ferocious mastiff. They wanted to know about the dreadful branding irons which planters used to mark the faces of their slaves and the cat-o’-nine-tails with which they beat them to death, and they evidenced what Scarlett felt was a very nasty and ill-bred interest in slave concubinage. Especially did she resent this in view of the enormous increase in mulatto babies in Atlanta since the Yankee soldiers had settled in the town.”
