Ursula K. LeGuin: "American science fiction has assumed a permanent hierarchy of superiors and inferiors, with rich, ambitious, aggressive males at the top, then a great gap, and then at the bottom the poor, the uneducated, the faceless masses, and all the women."
If you deny any affinity with another person or kind of person, if you declare it to be wholly different from yourself—as men have done to women, and class has done to class, and nation has done to nation—you may hate it, or deify it; but in either case you have denied its spiritual equality, and its human reality. You have made it into a thing, to which the only possible relationship is a power relationship. And thus you have fatally impoverished your own reality. You have, in fact, alienated yourself. This tendency has been remarkably strong in American SF. The only social change presented by most SF has been towards authoritarianism, the domination of ignorant masses by a powerful elite—sometimes presented as a warning, but often quite complacently. Socialism is never considered as an alternative, and democracy is quite forgotten. Military virtues are taken as ethical ones. Wealth is assumed to be a righteous goal and a personal virtue. Competitive free-enterprise capitalism is the economic destiny of the entire Galaxy. In general, American SF has assumed a permanent hierarchy of superiors and inferiors, with rich, ambitious, aggressive males at the top, then a great gap, and then at the bottom the poor, the uneducated, the faceless masses, and all the women. The whole picture is, if I may say so, curiously "un-American." It is a perfect baboon patriarchy, with the Alpha Male on top, being respectfully groomed, from time to time, by his inferiors.

If you wanted a Screensaver or Background that makes you think of me but is sfw, consider my sfw photography.

🥰

It's like a little secret between us.

I love that some of you keep my photos on your desk or in your office.

Purple flower petals floating on the still water of a pool at sunrise in Las Vegas. Purple flowers in the foreground, focusing on a specific stalk. Orange flowers in the background. Sunrise orange tinged light coming up over the yard The view moving down a hiking trail at Red Rock Canyon in Las Vegas, NV. Bright blue sky with no clouds, the sun in the center. Mountains off to the left. The bushes are bright green. Red rock canyon, an up close view of a bright green plant growing over the red and off-white rock.

TNG scene. Exterior shot of the Enterprise D flying away from us in deep space. Faintly in the distance is a purpleish nebula, probably as homage to Prince. Closed caption reads, "(whoosh)".
