Welcome to Litsy!

"may we all receive the help we need to make our lives a bit more bearable"

This biography is so well put together. I loved the mix of straight autobiography sections mixed with different medias - transcripts of interviews Alice has given, a couple of poems, & photos. You can feel her anger at some of the systematic issues & also clearly see her humor & good graces.
A well balanced and interesting read.

Alice Wong is a fierce disability advocate. She is very active on social media. In this book it‘s a collection of interviews & essays she‘s done. She does discuss the impact of the pandemic on a disabled person, especially one that depends upon a type of ventilator to survive. She highlights how bad policies continue to have major impacts on disabled people as well as continued ableism in our society. #bookspin #24in2024 book 3 of 24

This is an excellent read to learn and understand what it‘s like living with a disability. Alice Wong unintentionally became an activist and fights for herself and those with disabilities. She talks about what we can do to help make things more accessible to those in need. I‘m looking forward to my book club‘s discussion on this one!

Really, really good. Finally focused my squirrely brain and finished it… another favorite title of 2022.

I am both hopeful and pissed off while I read this. Also feel like everyone should read it. Glad I‘m finally getting to finish it.
