"She told me that she didn’t call herself an anarchist because she didn’t feel that she deserved to—she didn’t do enough. I asked her if it was OK for us to call her one. She said she’d be honored."

Happy birthday, Ursula Le Guin.

We Will Remember Freedom

I asked Ursula why I never heard her call herself an anarchist. She said she didn’t feel that she deserved to—she didn’t do enough. I asked if it was OK for us to do so. She said she’d be honored.

@CrimethInc @zudlig She was a beautiful writer, but also an asshole who thought that men were evil. She also wrote about slavery and didn't condemn it.
