Ursula LeGuin puts the publishers in their place (lemmy.world)

Not really a meme, I know, but I thought this was amazing and worth sharing and I didn't know where else to share it on Lemmy.

Ursula LeGuin was an incredible person and, although she did live a long life, her death was still a huge loss.

I'll have to take your word for it on the strength of messaging, as I haven't read LeGuin yet. But it's definitely been added to my reading list.

I like politics/religion/etc as topics well enough, but usually never enough to read about on their own as a book. It just doesn't sit well with me.

But add a bit of science fiction to it? That god damn I'm on board. It's like taking meds with a bit of honey for me. So when I find authors that explore things and have some fun with it, I jump at the chance.
