Year of the Tiger: An Activist's Life by Alice Wong

2.0

Listened to the audiobook. No ideas here were new to me personally, but it triggered some kind of slow ball rolling that turned into me realizing I'd like to write a short scifi story about disability, so I think it gets credit as inspiration. (Only WE can use the "i" word, ableds!)

If there’s one big takeaway, it’s the reminder that to each person, their own life has infinite value. Living in pain sucks, but it doesn’t change the value of your own life. No outsider can assess the “quality” of your life based on what capabilities they feel are necessary for fulfillment.
