#Ursula le guin was right

I think to topple the devine rights of kings billionaires, we need to dispel the myth that they have that money because they are smart and worked hard and make good decisions

I think the zip ties on the submarine and the limited views on the advertising platform might begin to show them for what they are

They are not smarter than you. They are not better than you. And if you suddenly magically got all that money people would stop saying 'no' to you too. and that is not a good thing

I hate when a lecturer says something and I make a genius connection and then later on in the lecture they reference that exact thing I was going to comment on thus rendering my genius commentary on the topic I was going to make to my friends later obsolete

Books of 2024: ALWAYS COMING HOME by Ursula K. Le Guin.

The people have Spoken, so I'll be reading this 618-page brick next! The cover page credits the author, an artist, a composer, a geomancer (??), and the author of the intro, so. I suspect I'm in for a Ride™. I am both Excited and Intimidated--will report back on how this goes!

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

10 years ago today. Almost insane how worse everything has gotten since.

A good reminder on Black Friday, the most capitalist of days! Just because we are born into a capitalist world doesn't mean it has been or will always be a capitalist world, nor does it mean that there isn't something better for humanity than capitalism.

Finished reading The Left Hand of Darkness and I'm not ok. He should have fucked the alien end of story.. goddd why does Ursula K Le Guin want me to be mature. Alien sex should always be the priority especially when alien in question is a very sweet hairy middle aged genderless guy. Genly u did not deserve him !!!!
