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.”

Owen Wilson plays a blond character who has homoerotic sexual tension with a brunette who he visits Pompeii with twice and I just think that’s neat

A double papercraft commission of Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, both with their respective instruments! I always enjoy using that music-note paper, and this seemed a particularly appropriate use for it. Maybe they’re playing their love song together?

The pieces are actually framed separately irl, but I did a mock-up of how they’d look together and thought it was cute too! So I put it in the post.

Papercraft commission for @felinesomnambulist of Wei Wuxian, Jiang Yanli and Jiang Cheng!! They’ve got soup! They’ve got lotuses! They’ve got coordinated outfits! And, most importantly, they’ve got each other!!! It’s a good day in Yunmeng.

This is the finished version of the WIP I posted a couple weeks ago. I love the Yunmeng sibs with my whole heart, so I poured in a bunch of the techniques into this piece that I personally enjoy best. I’m particularly pleased with the ripple pattern on Yanli’s and Jiang Cheng’s robes, which was hand-drawn by me! (Somewhat unusual, since I mostly work with paper that I find/buy, rather than ones I make myself.)
