This wasn't ground-breaking to me but sometimes like reading books which affirm what already think and this was exactly that in a particularly nice little package. It's aimed at younger readers and it's deliberately short and concise so there's obviously not a lot of nuance but it's a great resource.

📖 The New Queer Conscience by Adam Eli Book Review 📖

“Queer people anywhere are responsible for queer people everywhere. After all, wouldn’t you want someone to fight for you?” - Adam Eli.

4th book of January 2022 and 4th of the year:

This was a re-read after being gifted the physical copy, and, once again, I loved it! The social commentary and discussions about what’s going on in the world, and the messages and themes of helping, uplifting, and fighting for and beside each other are so important and written out so well and so thoroughly, with the author giving exact steps as to how and why we should do these things and how none of us are free and safe until all of us are free and safe. The audiobook for it is also done beautifully. I easily gave it five stars again, highlighted/underlined everything, cried when reading it, and highly recommend that absolutely everyone pick it up! This is definitely a book that I will return to again and again. TWs for antisemitism, bullying, body shaming, death, hate crimes, gun violence, violence, homophobia, transphobia, murder, abuse, police brutality, racism, shootings, xenophobia, Islamophobia, and outing📚🎧💖🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Some things made me feel off about the books. 
But it’s still a great book, a short and impactful one. 
The author uses Jewish history to talk about the queer community, and it makes sense
I think queer people need to read this. It’s an important book

This short book really packed a lot of punch. I liked the way queer erasure and privilege were discussed. I didn't like that the queer acronym included an A for ally. 

Favorite quote: "No one queer experience is more valid than another."
