Quote
When Le Guin talks about genre writers as “the realists of a larger reality” we surrender the power of that when we narrow our work to only depict one type of future. We have great power to restore alternate narratives, to re-broaden the range of imaginable futures.

#BlackoutFriday Join unions 💪 & organizers 🤝 today by avoiding spending. The BIG ones to to Say NO to are: 🎯Amazon (Whole Foods) 🎯Home Depot 🎯Target 🎯 Walmart. Say no to merchants making money off of ICE and complicity with authoritarianism. Say no to big corporations axing DEI.

Graphic recommending action. Support small & local businesses, local products, buying/fixing/trading and cash/check payments.

Avoid: Big chain stores & restaurants, mass-produced products, online shopping, credit card payments.

Credit cards are a lot of how they calculate Black Friday sales volume, so cash & check are invisible and keep up the spending blackout.

Day 2 sharing teaser #HistoryPix for "Inventing the Renaissance" (out in one month!). Often in Florence one sees buildings like this, where one section is rough stone standing out amid stucco neighbors. It's actually a remnant of the old Guelph-Ghibelline feuds that so long rocked Medieval Italy 1/?

A photo of a street in Florence. Many tourists walk along and the buildings are all shops and eateries. In the center, conspicuous between buildings of yellow or beige stucco, is one building made of crude-looking yellowish stone, very rough and undecorated, with few windows and all small compared to its neighbors. A couple doors down, a second conspicuous stone section like this sticks up, also strangely blank and rough amid its yellow neighbors. Both stop about half a story above the roofs of the three-story buildings on either side of them.

An orange book cover showing Cellini's statue of Perseus holding aloft the severed head of Medusa, her neck streaming gore. The title "Inventing the Renaissance: Myths of a Golden Age" is superimposed over the statue, with the word "the" pierced by the sword. The author's name "Ada Palmer" appears below.
