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

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.

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.

The world is in a terrible mess. It is toxic, irradiated, and full of injustice. Aiming to stand aside from …
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.

Started to read the e-book yesterday and I already like it. We are at 4 different storylines already. But I don't feel confused at all. It's very nice and easy to follow!

I didn't want to finish this because I didn't want to let murderbot go. It was a very good one again!
I want more.
And I'm going to read them all again.

There's a sequel and while I had mixed feelings about the book along the way, I really wanna know how the story evolves. I liked many things about this book, but it was a bit boring at times with all the political maneuvers. The style made up for it, because you have to think along to get things, so I never turned my brain off completely 😅
