emotional reflective medium-paced

While i want to say it’s a solid book about living with schizophrenia, the author’s internalised ableism makes several portions quite uncomfortable. as a schizophrenic who would be of the Too Visibly Ill category (per her divisions), i don’t have a lot of sympathy for the ‘struggles’ to appear better than folks like me.

informative medium-paced

would have been a more enjoyable book if the picture citations had been at the end, somewhat screenreader unfriendly

A Very Capitalist Condition: A history and politics of disability

Roddy Slorach

DID NOT FINISH: 37%

i couldn’t get past the remarkable audacity (or should i say caucasity) of the author to claim that people in the global south had no concept of disability, i guess he never bothered to look up how disability might be discussed in any language besides his own.

DID NOT FINISH: 30%

far too much graphic sexual discussion. why sexual intercourse exists is entirely irrelevant, why is it discussed so thoroughly and in such detail???
