Out of my depth, but learnt a lot! Gave me a framework for thinking about what I'm reading. Great bibliography too.

Excellent, thought-provoking intersectional analysis. The parts of my brain that get off on this type of scholarly discourse were all lit up. I didn't even have to have read/watched all the literature and film examples the author cited, the points that were being made were well-illustrated by the synopses of the relevant content and the way the author discussed them.
Also, I told someone about this book and then they agreed to go on a date with me, so it is clearly good luck.

Amazing book that thoroughly interrogates how we think about intersectionality with (dis)abilities that are apparent or not, and how they are perceived with other marginalized identities.

This book was so unbelievably nourishing! It felt like finding community after believing for years that you were alone. Would especially recommend the second chapter, "Who's Reality Is It Anyway? Deconstructing Able-Mindedness," and "The Future of Bodyminds, Bodyminds of the Future." Can't wait to read the works discussed here, particularly Phyllis Alesia Perry's Stigmata and Nalo Hopkinson's Sister Mine.

Incredibly thoughtful meditations on race, gender, and discourse. The best applications of intersectional feminism and disability justice on media I’ve come across. the material Schalk explores is so rich with analysis, imagination, and fucking PLEASURE. This book was an absolute PLEASURE to read, think about, sit with, feel, share. I’ve deepened friendships over discussing this text, and sharing its insights when discussing the works it analyzes in community. Please read this book- For all fans of sci fi, fantasy, Justice, pleasure, feminist theory, queer theory, anti racist feminism, and books that connect the arts, politics, and life.
Edit: schalk is a genius
