The inherent eroticism of crossing the ice together (having to survive a landscape beyond human survivability stripping away all pretensions, until my truest self can meet yours).

genly ai pov chapters during the ice crossing: estraven is a conundrum. estraven is the most infuriating man I’ve ever met. etrasven is so womanly. I can’t pin him down. what the hell does he mean by that. he’s so soft looking. he did this for me. who is he. he’s looking at me with his womanly stare again. he is pissing me off. he’s so earnest I’m scared. I need my best friend.
estraven pov chapters during the ice crossing: *logistics* “dear journal, here at the top ten things i noticed about mr. ai today” *licks genly’s eyeballs until his lashes unstick then makes them dinner* “he is like a baby and doesn’t take care of himself right I need to do it but he is also so strong so much stronger than me” *gently rubs out frostbite from genly’s face* “dear diary, here are my further contemplations on me mr. ai’s psyche” *logitics* “we cannot touch” *logistics* “genry, please trust me I’d do anything for you to trust me teach me telepathy so I cannot lie to you” *ruminations on the state and the nature of life*

I’ve seen the Ursula K LeGuin quote about capitalism going around, but to really appreciate it you have to know the context.
The year is 2014. She has been given a lifetime achievement award from the National Book Awards. Neil Gaiman puts it on her neck in front of a crowd of booksellers who bankrolled the event, and it’s time to make a standard “thank you for this award, insert story here, something about diversity, blah blah blah” speech. She starts off doing just that, thanking her friends and fellow authors. All is well.
Then this old lady from Oregon looks her audience of executives dead in the eye, and says “Developing written material to suit sales strategies in order to maximize corporate profit and advertising revenue is not the same thing as responsible book publishing or authorship.”
She rails against the reduction of her art to a commodity produced only for profit. She denounces publishers who overcharge libraries for their products and censor writers in favor of something “more profitable”. She specifically denounces Amazon and its business practices, knowing full well that her audience is filled with Amazon employees. And to cap it off, she warns them: “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. Very often in our art, the art of words.”
Ursula K LeGuin got up in front of an audience of some of the most powerful people in publishing, was expected to give a trite and politically safe argument about literature, and instead told them directly “Your empire will fall. And I will help it along.”

Sometimes a creative outlet is a fun little hobby and sometimes it's a lifelong affliction. Like I crochet because making little woven animals sparks joy and I'm a writer whether I like it or not because I'm tormented by visions

Just curious if anyone has experienced this - Im genderfluid and recently started binding for certain outfits I want to look more masculine, I thought I had the right size when I tried it on but when I wear it for over an hour I start feeling uncomfy :(( I love the way it makes me look though! Searching for words of encouragement or advice :)

Some days I just have to go back to processing that this happened, on a major television platform.
Look at them.
Look at all of us.
Look at what’s possible when love wins.
Love is so much more powerful than hate.
