Not really a meme, I know, but I thought this was amazing and worth sharing and I didn’t know where else to share it on Lemmy.

Ursula LeGuin was an incredible person and, although she did live a long life, her death was still a huge loss.

    As a kid I just wanted to read weird old shit. LOTR, Douglas Adams, Frank Herbert, Philip K Dick, you can guess where this is going. I still can’t let go of my childhood Lovecraft nightmares. I am aware most of that is stupid and racist and misguided. But strip that hateful garbage out, you still have a lot

    Addendum I f’d up and didn’t mention my adoration for Ursula K. Leguin

          hah, Lovecraft specifically. I heard he was racist af but couldn’t see it in his work (haven’t read all of it but a good chunk when I was younger)
