The Self
A bicycle isn't its wheels. It isn't the frame, the chain, the person pedaling, or the road. Take any one away and you don't have a broken bicycle but something that was never a bicycle to begin with. We point at things and say that's 'it'. That's the self. That's what's real. But every time you reach for the thing itself, you find it's made entirely of other things, which are made of other things and somewhere in that regression you either panic or you start to find it funny.

I’ve decided to dive into the world of Ursula Le Guin’s children’s books! Wow, that writer is amazing! Some of her stories have brought me to tears (“Fire and Stone”) and others have lit up my heart. Children’s books are such a wonderful way to connect with the “self,” and Le Guin’s technology for that purpose is especially unique.
I specifically want to highlight the book titled, “Tom Mouse,” as it encapsulates a #posthuman mindset very well. It also might be my new favorite story, it’s just unique and amazing in wonderful ways! This is a colorful story where diverse beings come together to bring more joy to each other’s lives. It gives voice to marginalized populations including mice, moons, stars, humans of diverse color, age, gender. An excellent example of #DEI
