my dislike might be because i expected something totally different from this book. i really did like the stories told to show that community is earned and is a product of hardship and not just bought or is easy to achieve. but after reading 70% of the book it just felt like that same story was told over and over again. it also got to a point after listening to the audiobook for hours that describing how ~ unique ~ a community can be by naming their skin color, sexuality, ethnicity became kind of .. weird. it read more like a biography tbh

Could have been so much better… enjoyed the bits about friendships and building community, hated the extent of politics and social justice woven into it… just not the place for it and diluted the main points.

Loved this book. The way Birdsong talks about community and interdependence is powerful. Lots of stories from people in her life or from interviews that make the book very personal.
