hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.5

“Disability is not a catastrophe to me. It's just a fact of life.”

despite it not fully being theory-based or some parts as fleshed out as i wish it was, this book was still... wow. this book was beautiful, incredible, meaningful and very impactful. it contains in-depth, subtle, and very much needed conversations about disability justice, and it demonstrates interconnected disability justice is.

i highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn a bit more about disability justice.
