pickI appreciated the author's emphasis in this book on the lives of people in the marginalized QTBIPOC disabled community. So often, they are overlooked.
As a disabled person, I found the book to be hopeful, helpful, and enlightening. I am often not aware of my own ableism or need for community of others like me. I feel like I learned a lot.

I really resonated with this book as a fat femme with multiple chronic illnesses. One of which I'm still trying to get a diagnosis for even though I've been dealing with it my whole life. I'm newer to the disabled community so this book was a great learning tool for myself. One of my goals is to find and build disabled support for myself both online and local.
What did y'all think of the book? Anything that stood out?
Today is the 35th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The current administration is minimize resources, funding, & supports to the disability community. The disability community is tired but will keep fighting as they always have for their rights. The disability community won‘t go silently. Disability rights are human rights. Disability rights are civil rights.
pickListen, I stalled nearly halfway through just because I wasn‘t in the mood for it. Expected to dnf or at least skim the end, but the joke was on me! As soon as I cracked it open again I was pulled right back. Ended up reading for hours until it was finished. I enjoyed this one!
pickThis book blew me away. It was so sad to read how we at times violate the rights of others - I know I work in this field and its hard sometimes to navigate through the ethical delemas we go through.
pickA deliciously beautiful picture book about Evelyn Glennie, a deaf woman, who became the first full-time solo percussionist in the world.

pick#JulyJazz Day 18: #Listen tells the story of Evelyn Glennie, a deaf musician. With great joy, she was able to demonstrate how there are many forms of hearing that can take place in one‘s being – and that music need not be confined to ears in perfect condition. Rather, hearing music can be a “sea of sound” – an entire sensation within one‘s body. My full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-oGe
