How to build #solarpunk (the aesthetic vision without the social change) - watch now 00:59s
Instructions were unclear. Penis stuck in an #elysium sky paradise for the rich while the poor are burning on the wastelands.
Do not. Walk. Towards. Omelas.

I have just read the carrier bag theory of fiction by #LeGuin and now I have the need to read more of things like that. I need some guidepost to other #feminist writing theory, maybe stuff inspired by her that appeared in the span of the 40 years since she wrote it, that she certainly inspired?
#hivemind If you have some feminist philosophy to recommend, I'll appreciate it too.
I'm writing #solarpunk utopia right now, so if you know of relevant (preferably feminist) stuff, please drop it below :)

An interview with Ursula K. Le Guin about writing. This is an absolute gem and a breath of fresh air.

"Ihr dürft euch nicht nehmen, was ihr nicht gegeben habt, und ihr müsst euch selbst geben. Die Revolution könnt ihr nicht kaufen. Die Revolution könnt ihr nicht machen. Die Revolution könnt ihr nur sein. Sie ist in euch, oder sie ist nirgendwo."
... sagt Shevek in U. Le Guins "Freie Geister" [The Dispossessed] (1974)

Jetzt auch als Podcast: Folge #73
https://www.fantastische-wissenschaftlichkeit.de/?p=7842
Super-Geschwister Marta und Kuba erforschen Begriffe rund um die Verwandtschaft und darüber hinaus, von Onklix bis Submatrix. Außerdem hat Kuba LeGuins "Lathe of Heaven" gelesen/gesehen und berichtet, ob Traum-Special-Effects früher futuristisch aussahen. Und anhand vom Picknick am Valentinstag fragen wir uns, ob alles SciFi ist, worin ein Alien versteckt sein könnte.

Je je, me pasó lo mismo con "La mano izquierda", mucha caminata por páramos helados.
En cambio, de LeGuin, me encantaron: "Los desposeidos", "Un mago de Terramar" (inspiración de Harry Potter), "Las tumbas de Atuán" y "El nombre del mundo es bosque" (inspiración de la peli Avatar).
"La costa más lejana" y "Tehanu" me gustaron menos que las otras novelas de la saga de #Terramar, pero están bien.
"El mundo de Roccanon" resulta interesantilla.
El escritor #DavidBrin escribió "Tiempo de gloria", una novela ambientada en el Ekumen de #LeGuin y en la que también juega con modificar el funcionamiento biológico de los sexos. Le añade ese toque suyo de novela de aventuras, que a ratos la hace parecer una adrenalínica novela de piratas. Úrsula K. LeGuin ha sido imitadísima.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@gwynnion/116483532834192001
This post notes out that defending absurd levels of wealth and income inequality with no social safety net is similar to believing “there must always be an Omelas child.”
“The Ones Who Walk Away from
Omelas” by Ursula K. #LeGuin describes a utopian city called #Omelas “whose prosperity depends on the perpetual misery of a single child.”This idea critiques the moral philosophy of standard #utilitarianism, which allow such situations if happiness outweighs suffering

Maybe I'm in the minority but Ursula K. Le Guin's The Lathe of Heaven is my favorite of her novels:

Le Guin and Zamyatin follow Foucault in my exploration of the parable of the two valleys with Claude, part 8 of 13.
👉https://philosophics.blog/2026/02/27/comrade-claude-8-le-guin/?utm_source=masto
We explore how speculative fiction often anticipates complex philosophical theories and the prescience of 'We'.

Hear me out. The otak that shelters in Ged's cloak in "A Wizard of Earthsea". Surely this must be Brown Jenkin who has gotten lost on an interdimensional jaunt?

I feel like I was walking across Nevada, like the pioneers, carrying a lot of stuff I need, but as I go along I have to keep dropping off things. I had a piano once but it got swamped at a crossing of the Platte. I had a good frypan but it got too heavy and I left it in the Rockies. I had a couple ovaries but they wore out around the time we were in the Carson Sink. I had a good memory but pieces of it keep dropping off, have to leave them scattered around in the sage brush, on the sand hills.
Ursula K. Le Guin (1929-2018) American writer
Story (1995-11), “Ether, OR,” Isaac Asimov’s Science Fiction, Vol. 19More about this quote: wist.info/leguin-ursula-k/8020…

Warum Ursula Le Guin nicht so bekannt ist wie J.R.R Tolkien ist eigentlich nicht zu erklären.
Jetzt erschien eine Neuübersetzung bzw. erstübersetzung von Novellen und Erzählungen von ihr.

I love Ursula K. LeGuin's books, I remember (maybe incorrectly?) that she wrote about flying and how it's hard to imagine it's possible unless you've seen a bird .
However I can't find it , can someone confirm if it exists and also what is it?Pls boost
