Taynbowswift - A Display Of Color

I’ve seen the Ursula K LeGuin quote about capitalism going around, but to really appreciate it you have to know the context.

The year is 2014. She has been given a lifetime achievement award from the National Book Awards. Neil Gaiman puts it on her neck in front of a crowd of booksellers who bankrolled the event, and it’s time to make a standard “thank you for this award, insert story here, something about diversity, blah blah blah” speech. She starts off doing just that, thanking her friends and fellow authors. All is well.

Then this old lady from Oregon looks her audience of executives dead in the eye, and says “Developing written material to suit sales strategies in order to maximize corporate profit and advertising revenue is not the same thing as responsible book publishing or authorship.”

She rails against the reduction of her art to a commodity produced only for profit. She denounces publishers who overcharge libraries for their products and censor writers in favor of something “more profitable”. She specifically denounces Amazon and its business practices, knowing full well that her audience is filled with Amazon employees. And to cap it off, she warns them: “We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art. Very often in our art, the art of words.”

Ursula K LeGuin got up in front of an audience of some of the most powerful people in publishing, was expected to give a trite and politically safe argument about literature, and instead told them directly “Your empire will fall. And I will help it along.”

😂I mean come ooooooon

The “omg, I’m so in love with you” face

This is monstrous. What she is proposing is a literal crime against humanity.

No exaggeration. No hyperbole. One of the justices of the Supreme Court is proposing that the country should violate human rights en masse.

Everyone song Best Day Ever and send love to our Andrea, that angel 😇🌈😇

So beautiful 💕

I had the best day with you guys today 🤗🤗🤗

we. need. to. kill. bill. and. Taylor. is. our. Joan. and. we. are. going. to. combat. kiss. bye. bye. 

Taylor the Machine Swift.

She’s just like Dolly. Nobody will see them without the wig. Nobody knew Dolly. Same for Taylor. She paints her lip and sways her hip…don’t fucking let the fans know anything actually intimate. Dangerous.

Dolly was a big gay, so is Tay.

Don’t care, just saying 🤡🤷🏻‍♀️
