reading about omelas

toastykittenRe-read the original via a zine on the Internet Archive, bonus, includes the other short story "The Day Before the Revolution". Still really good.
Read The Ones Who Stay and Fight by NK Jemisin, and surprised to find that I didn't really like it.
Discovered Isabel Kim's Why Don't We Just Kill the Kid in the Omelas Hole and found it pretty sharp and thought-provoking. Made me want to read more of her work and I read Wire Mother, which was great and pretty topical. Discovered she's on BlueSky and she made reference to the WM/AF literature discourse on Substack and I was like, oh, she loves mess. Anyway that discourse was discussed on the TrueLit subreddit and I went down a rabbithole for a bit.
