A little on the cancellation of James Tiptree

(I am adding new things to the end of this post today, and may add more as the discussion continues online.)

What I've said on social media:

1

James Tiptree, like HP Lovecraft, has been canceled.

Tiptree Name Will Be Removed from Award | File 770

2

I also support this theory about Tiptree and her husband.

They're terrible people. The long-term behavior prior to this event indicated it was almost certainly a suicide pact between two people who couldn't go on living life as it was.

She was one of my favorite all-time authors during the sci-fi at the newstand days.

A great female writer has been canceled because of her last tragic days.

I keep thinking about what's wrong with cancelling James Tiptree. I understand why her husband might want to die. I am fine with the idea of Emma killing me at such a time. I would only hope she would hide the evidence and go on to live a wonderful life.

Should they rename the Tiptree Award, too? / Boing Boing

Say what you will about 1984, it explains the authoritarian left's love of memory holes.

5

Neoliberals and socialists take very different views of #JamesTiptree/Alice Sheldon taking part in what seems to have been a suicide pact. Neoliberals blame individuals, so they blame her. Socialists blame society for not supporting people when they most need it.

When someone quibbled about her work for the government, I answered

That has nothing to do with the fact that she was a brilliant short story writer, and the award that bore her name had nothing to do with politics until its name was changed for political reasons.

I hate making artists' lives more important than their art.

Frederick Douglass showed that the Irish were always white in America

In 1853, referring to black people as us, Frederick Douglass wrote:

Every hour sees us elbowed out of some employment to make room for some newly arrived emigrant from the Emerald Isle, whose hunger and color entitle him to special favor. These white men are becoming house-servants, cooks, stewards, waiters, and flunkies.
