Essential reading. Some may say it isn't a comfortable introduction to Disability Justice but I think it's vital to experience that discomfort. As with learning more in any area of justice, putting current comfort levels over learning leads to further injustice, and (especially with something as temporary as being abled) is an enormous to everyone, currently disabled or not

This is the best book I’ve read this year. The writing is deeply compassionate thoughtful and challenging. I am grateful to have the opportunity to question and expand many of my long held understandings of the world and of myself. Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha shared her experiences, vulnerability, strengths, and desires with a warm generous relatability. I wish everyone would read this. Highly recommended.

So good! A book that thankfully goes beyond disability 101.

This was the second book I’ve read by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, and once again, they have exceeded my expectations. This book is like a love letter to the disability community. Full of wisdom, emotion, and compassion, Leah describes what it’s like to be disabled without leaving out the gritty details. This book was a hug for my disabled non-binary soul. I can’t wait to read more of Leah’s work.

I read this to learn more about disability justice, which I did, but I also learned different ways of thinking about caring for myself and others. I definitely want to reread this later.
