4.25
Minor: Incest, Bullying, Rape, Injury/Injury detail, Body shaming, Child abuse, Chronic illness, Sexual violence, Drug use, and Sexual assault
Content warnings largely relate to the author's personal history - not described in great detail, but sexual abuse from his father as well as bullying from classmates is mentioned a few times. There is also brief mention of logging related injuries in his hometown.libraryoflanelle's review against another edition

I really enjoyed hearing Eli reflect on these topics as things were in 1999. Seeing the parallels, the differences and on many occasions the heart-breaking lack of positive change truly added a level of discussion to these topics that I did not anticipate.
I have added content/trigger warnings to my review but I want to point out that Eli does mention CSA he experienced in childhood on multiple occasions, at times in moderate detail.

4.5
definitely a book i will reread, and have annotated heavily. really important analysis of intersections, of complicated and layered questions, poking at the uncomfortable bits to discover why
"at the jagged edge where self-hatred meets pride"
"in the end i mean deeply honest multi issue politics that will make home possible"
"when do we celebrate, when do we howl with rage, when do we witness and mourn?"
Graphic: Hate crime, Homophobia, Classism, Pedophilia, Rape, Child abuse, Ableism, Sexual violence, Genocide, Body shaming, Physical abuse, and Forced institutionalization
