Everyone should read this. It covers a multitude of disability rights issues as well as being incredibly intersectional. Some sections discuss very difficult/triggering issues, but many of these come with content warnings

This was a very slow read, I had to look up a lot of words. I would have liked to see fewer essays but with more depth.
