Hi I'm Jules,

I read a lot of disability related more academic stuff, anarchism and whatever else looks interesting or helpful. And then mostly queer fantasy, science fiction / speculative fiction to relax.

I read mostly e-books for accessibility reasons. So if you're interested in a book on my lists, just send me a DM. I can point you to sources or just send it over.

I'm also @queering_space@weirder.earth

finished reading Queergestreift by Kathrin Köller

Kathrin Köller, Irmela Schautz: Queergestreift (Paperback, German language, 2022, Hanser) No rating

Ausgezeichnet mit dem Deutschen Jugendliteraturpreis 2023, Kategorie Sachbuch Bi, cis oder non-binär? Ein Buch über …

Wow einfach ein wunderbares, ausführliches und wunderschön illustriertes Buch. Für ältere Jugendliche aber wer sich nicht ans der Sprache für diese Zielgruppe stört wird ganz sicher auch noch was lernen oder es einfach genießen. Bekommt definitiv einen Stammplatz im Regal. Kann man auch gut einzelne Beiträge nach Bedarf weitergeben.

Laurie Forest: The Dryad Storm (Hardcover, 2025, Inkyard Press) No rating

I'm trying to finish this now (audiobook) because I really want to be done with this series.

Do yourself a favour and don't even start! It's really pretty bad but it's somehow still keeping you (okay me) trapped.

But it's really so bad. Just everyone falling for someone and it's a while mess of over-dramatic romance with very magical sexual attraction and ugh... just no.

started reading Complex PTSD by Pete Walker

Pete Walker: Complex PTSD (2013)

I have Complex PTSD [Cptsd] and wrote this book from the perspective of someone who …

Give it another try. It wasn't the right time to read it when I first got the book some years ago.

So far so good.

I was in the mood for picking this one back up today and it's nice how the first book and the beginning of this one apparently left enough of an impression for me to immediately remember all the names and places even though I read a bunch of other books in the meantime.

finished reading Unmasking Autism by Devon Price

Devon Price: Unmasking Autism (Hardcover, 2022, Harmony Books)

A deep dive into the spectrum of Autistic experience and the phenomenon of masked Autism, …

Well, I was quite annoyed by big parts and aspects of this book.

But it was a good opportunity to reflect more on the un-masking topic and there are some helpful thoughts and perspectives on the topic in this book. So it was worth it for that.

I didn't need all the introduction to autism and political demands and coaching tone and generalizations though.

It is, again, a very American book. Which I often find annoying. So there's no surprise there.

It's still worth reading. I just wish it would have been just the scientifically backed deep dive into the masking topic without all the add-ons and decorations.
