I started listening to an Ursula K Le Guin novel.

1.5 chapters in, and I think it’s Avatar.

It’s very good so far.

Utterance is magic

This is why utterance is magic. Words do have power. Names have power. Words are events, they do things, change things. They transform both speaker and hearer; they feed energy back and forth and amplify it. They feed understanding or emotion back and forth and amplify it.

~ Ursula K. Le Guin

Wisdom and love are deep in every thread of the tapestry that is Ursula K. Le Guin's 1987 anthology 'Buffalo Gals and other animal presences'. Come for the beautiful writing, stay for the non-human subjectivities.

ENTREVISTADOR: ¿Podrías explicar qué significa «escribir como una mujer»?

K. LE GUIN: Me temo que no puedo, porque cada mujer escribe como una mujer a su propio modo. De hecho, creo que somos más variadas y menos predecibles en diversos aspectos que los escritores varones. Una breve descripción de mis principales fases en el proceso sería:

1. Leer a Virginia Woolf.

Hello! #introduction post!
I'm sans serif girl, a neutral person, my pronouns are she/they, I'm #ace #biromantic #autistic and #deaf in my left ear.
I consider myself a really boring person 'cause all my interests are things I can do on my own like #reading #books but also #manga #manhwa and #manhua, #writing, #MusicListening, watching #OldMovies, taking #pictures.
I'm boring even if I laugh over the stupidest things and on a scale of 1 to 10 my mood is always an honest 5. Like Fiona Apple's meme in my pinned posts I don't like to go out (if it entails socializing and meeting people) except for #walking my #dog (I have an old female dog that I love very much) and exploring the #countryside and river banks.
I'm also quite interested in #astrology and #tarots, that I use as a way to better understand myself.
I believe in #accessibility and that's why I'll always demand an #AltText on your pictures and won't boost pictures without it.
And now for some faves:
- writers: #DaphneDuMaurier #DianaWynneJones #UrsulaKLeGuin #ShirleyJackson #JRRTolkien #NnediOkorafor
- musicians: I've always listened to a lot of kinds of music but if I must choose my all time fave is #JoannaNewsom
- movies: almost all where #CaryGrant starred, plus #ColdComfortFarm #Smultronstället and #NoisesOff
- tv series: #TwinPeaks #VeronicaMars #MontyPythonsFlyingCircus and #MurderSheWrote
- animals: #dogs #goats #donkeys

I think that's all for now, and thanks for having me here!

”El ejercicio de la imaginación es peligroso para quienes obtienen ganancias del ‘modo en el que son las cosas’, porque tiene el poder de mostrarnos que el ‘modo en el que son las cosas’ no es permanente, ni universal, ni necesario.”

Lo he aprendido de #ursulakleguin #ursulaleguin en #LaCostaMasLejana :

Pero si de nuevo hubiera un rey sobre todos nosotros, y ese rey buscara como en tiempos pasados el consejo de un mago, y si yo fuese ese mago, le diría: 《Mi señor, no hagáis nada porque sea justo, o loable, o noble; no hagáis nada porque os parezca bueno, haced tan solo lo que tengáis que hacer, y lo que no podríais hacer de ninguna otra manera》.
