It is very distinctly in no way really at all a romance (I barely even picked up on that energy on my first read at all and I LOVE looking for queer romance even when it's not intentional). Very good book though! Haunts me to this day

Screenshot of a single question and answer from interview in the Times Literary Supplement with Ursula K. Le Guin. Here is the quote:

If you could make a change to anything youโ€™ve written over the years, what would it be?

In The Dispossessed, I would mention the communal pickle barrels at street corners in the big towns, restocked by whoever in the community has made or kept more pickles than they need. I knew about the free pickles all along, but never could fit them into the book.

I think the motivation was to care more about maintaining their federal funding than anything else, but agree to disagree I guess.

UChicago's hospital system also maintained it's youth trans care services when Lurie scraped them, *despite* the federal court and the state actively saying not to ๐Ÿ™ƒ

As ICE targets undocumented people in and around my city, I am proud of Chicago organizers and community members who are working to protect our neighbors. If you are discouraged in these times, remember that people of conscience are taking action and that there are many ways you can join them.
