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

emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

 Holy shit, this is OUTSTANDING. Every essay gave me a new perspective, new impression, new things to ponder and grow from. Can't recommend enough, I loved this even more than the author's previous Care Work which I also loved. I can't wait to revisit this and glean even more wisdom from it.
