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)

To people in my life constantly telling me that my position on reproductive rights is extreme and that my fears are “radical”, this week news broke of a HUMAN EGG FARM
Three Thai women escaped a horrific human trafficking ring referred to as a “human egg farm” in Georgia. They reveal that in this operation, women are held captive, injected with hormones, and their eggs are forcibly extracted for black market IVF sales.
