“Ableism robs us of our ability to see disabled possibilities, even ones that might be relatively small.” The book is an honest & brutal collection of essays about what it is like, particularly in the US, to live a disabled life. The disability community has to constantly fight to have equal access to services, rights. The book highlights the struggles that the disability community dealt with during the pandemic. Ableism continues to be pervasive

ncsufoxes in decisions made about and for the disability community with little or no input. The pandemic was a scary time for disabled persons. The current administration is making things scary for the disabled. Eugenics is a real concern for many as there are roll backs in healthcare, community access, access to supports & services, changes to vaccines. “To exist is to resist.” 1mo

Storytelling itself is an activity, not an object. Stories are the closest we can come to shared experience. ... Like all stories, they are most fundamentally a chance to ride around inside another head and be reminded that being who we are and where we are, and doing what we're doing, is not the only possibility.

A Syrian refugee with cerebral palsy who describes life before their civil war and life as a refugee making her way to Germany.

A harrowing tale for sure, although some of it seemed a little surface level or maybe like it was written for young readers.

I had meant to read this for Disability Pride month but didn't quite get it completed in time, but that is okay! We should be reading disability rep books all year round. This book is not for anyone prudish. Our MC Elliott and his long time boyfriend are struggling, or so Elliott thinks, and so they start experimenting E starts it by secretly seeing a sex worker and then things start to spiral. I really enjoyed this. The descriptions of E's 👇

ChaoticMissAdventures Physical limitations and how that affects him emotionally and socially were explained will and not in a way that felt like O'Connell was talking down to his audience. I thought the use of River as a character was really well done, and the ending was very sweet. My only criticism is the Pollyanna look at alcohol at the end, it got a bit preachy/cheesy for me. But overall highly recommend! 2mo
