The Future Is Disabled: Prophecies, Love Notes and Mourning Songs by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha

challenging emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

This book was beautifully written and exceptionally informative. As a neurodivergent disabled non-binary person, I related to so many deeply personal thoughts and feelings expressed in this memoir. This was my first book by this author, but I will be picking up a copy of Care Work as soon as I can. As a journalism student who is also an aspiring author, this speaks volumes to the kind of work I wish to produce one day. Work that is proud to be unique and flawed, and is beautiful because of that. I also very much appreciate the BIPOC perspective that I don’t have as a white person. There was so much insight within these pages that I took to heart, and I will not be forgetting anytime soon. This is crip work at it’s finest.
