Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality
![[“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape? The moneylenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.”]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hppum4l25hcczzffastsicpq/bafkreihuubdwcftfkvvlnepoaf6pfxqulryfp7ydrydi5fe2pflwz63wgm@jpeg)

I’m not sure the rest of the country fully grasps the panic and anger building in DC, MD, and VA.
The entire economy of this area is about to collapse. Paychecks are stopping. Careers are ruined. Taxes are about to plummet. Yet no one seems able to stop this madness.

This is all of Medicaid, by the way. This means people will die. It means disabled kids like my son will lose our extra medical coverage and our waiver funds that help pay for his care.
This will devastate the country in ways you cannot imagine.

A reality is that a ton of nonprofit organizations & other facilities are laying-off a ton of people, and sometimes outright shuttering, because they still haven't received federal funding they were contractually promises. Many websites are still not up. And a lot more. All despite court orders.
Birthright citizenship order - BLOCKED.
Federal funding cut off - BLOCKED.
Illegal feds resignation plan - BLOCKED.
Access to Treasury's vital data system - BLOCKED.
Firing 2000 USAID workers - BLOCKED.

I'm in a cursed mood. I'm actually glad my husband is working tonight and my kids are at my mom's house so I can just fester in the darkness without getting it all over everyone else.

Her story has shaken up metro Detroit. It's very cold up here and she didn't get the help she needed even after calling the city and multiple agencies.
She, her mom, and her kids slept in a van. Ran out of gas.
Her 9 year old & 2 year old died from hypothermia.
I can't stop thinking about her. 💔

“I regret having to sleep out there so bad. I tell them, ‘I’m sorry, but I tried.’”
These kids deserved our protection. This mother deserves our protection. We are collectively failing one another.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:
-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.
-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.
