Eli Clare is a master of discussing topics we generally like to separate for palatability and interweaving them to demonstrate how very little CAN be separated in this society. They discuss difficult experiences, aspects of activism that make them frustrated, and continually reminds us all to check our social position (specifically what privileges we are awarded based on that position). They open one's eyes to elements of being disabled, being queer, being working-class, and more that would likely go unconsidered by those outside of each demographic, ultimately providing a more purposefully curious and aware worldview. Plus, they have got some banging lines in here that will make you have to stare out the window and contemplate your existence.
