This was a subtweet thread. I will not mention what prompted it. Let me say that if I’m annoyed with someone enough to give a snark response, that’s (often) an accomplishment; if I write the outline for a Winter Break Seminar for 1-2 credit hours? Congratulations, I never want to meet that trash fire.

It’s no secret that I orbit Ursula LeGuin’s “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas”. I read it first when I was 11 or 12. It started my relationship with ethics, utilitarianism, pro-social responsibility, …everything. I love it & hate it. (It’s short.)

Addendum, October 2022, after the release of Black Widow filled in significant aspects about Natasha, and Falcon and the Winter Soldier filled in some details about Sam and Bucky. I have also updated links that experienced bit rot to their archive.org instance.
