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

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.
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.

Nope

I like the post/colonial setting and how it's really the main topic for the book and the characters, not just some side note. But also... what a tough choice to try and make a love story work between those two. It's really hard to watch.
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.

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.

okay I'm all caught up on my highlights and quotes for now :D
These books are actually quite bad but I can't stop it's terrible 😂
Ja okay. Hab's gelesen. Vielleicht irgendwann mal nützlich aber das meiste war sehr nervig zu lesen. Das übliche deutsche akademische exklusive Gesabbel. Manche Beiträge schlimmer, manche erträglich.
Aber inhaltlich schon nützlich, schätze ich. Wenn man sich auf dem Level bewegen will.
I liked this a lot. Many of my thoughts and observations put into words. And then some more.

Das war ein Brocken 😅 Eigentlich muss man das zweimal lesen. Oder einfach nur schneller als über ein ganzes Jahr verteilt. Gerade das Kapitel über die Kritiken an Postkolonialer Theorie am Ende hilft sehr beim Verstehen und Einordnen. Nur hatte ich da viele Details schon wieder vergessen.
Sprachlich ist es sehr anspruchsvoll und lustigerweise wird das auch im Buch selbst wiederholt als Kritik an postkolonialen Texten angebracht. I agree.
Anyway, ich weiß jetzt trotzdem mehr und würde es nochmal lesen (wenn meine Leseliste nicht schon so lang wäre)

This book is not what I thought it would be. Not sure I like the ways it's told but it's interesting enough to keep going.
