i really liked it, even though it's not my favourite from Rivers Solomon. faer queer sex scenes are always the best though.

I took ages to finish it, can't even remember when I did it before I took ages to log it. So, I'm just putting a random date. lol.

come tutte le storie che permettono di farti fantasticare riguardo "storie alternative", lascia un senso di amara tristezza nel cuore. immaginavo lourdes potesse essere un altro piano diabolico all'incrocio tra capitalismo e religione, ma non credevo foss così una merda!
l'unica cosa che non ho gradito è il tocco di anti-secolarismo di sinistra dell'autore. non sarà mai troppo tardi quando, finalmente, anche i sinistroidi intelletuali capiranno che non sono le religioni e le preghiere il problema, ma, come al solito, il buon vecchio capitalismo.

giving it five stars because it is the only resource i found it about the subject so far, but saying it's outdated is an euphemism.
the first part about witchcraft in the neapolitan area has a nice beginning and nice ending, but the whole middle chunk is so boring...
the chapter about the cimaruta is very very nice, but then, again, old and, probably, for that same reason, could go more in depth on some things.
i really like the last chapter with the illustrations though. very 19th century. lol.

the Ohlone people are not gone, though the federal government refuses to acknowledge that. The Muwékma Ohlone Tribe asserts an aboriginal claim to the South Bay, including Palo Alto. In 1925, the UC Berkeley ethnologist Alfred Kroeber mistakenly listed the Verona Band of Alameda County, the government’s name for the group, as extinct, a classification the feds adopted, reversing its 1906 recognition of the Ohlone. The government claimed that, in those 20 years, the tribe disintegrated. This did not happen, but for nearly a century now government authorities have stuck by the same erroneous line.

this book sounds way too much liberal xr-esque sometimes. which is common, i know, but what really bothers me is the non-violent, shows the other cheek conversation. it's so insensible and stupid.

i saw the author of this book talking a lot about disability as a social construct in online videos, and so i thought that her book was about that.
but the synopsis kind of says otherwise.
as anyone read it and can tell me more?
or just straight up suggest books that actually talk about social vs medical disability?
