we are aphantastic and very slow readers, usually reading a bunch of books in parallel. we mostly read about anarchism, bread, neurodiversity, sci-fi, and cosy fantasy. our pronouns are it / they (plural). (Avatar: reading fox emoji, from Volpeon's Neofox emoji set)

omg I'm glad that I read chapter Fourteen at a safe place*. It was brutal at some points.
(* that safe space is my favourite spot on the local cemetery. yeah, call me a goth girl who reads witch stories on cemeteries, if y'all so desire...)

moss books quoted Sapling Cage by Margaret Killjoy (Daughters of the Empty Throne, #1)

My mother never thought any higher of brigands than she did of knights, and her low opinion of both had rubbed off on me. My dads were even more critical, since they likened brigands to pirates and had nothing nice to say about pirates. As my mom put it, knights rob people in the name of whatever noble rules the area, who sort of gives back by protecting the borders from invasion and by killing the worst of the brigands. Brigands rob people for themselves, and they sort of give back by maintaining some of the roads—the roads they patrol to demand tolls—and by killing the worst of the knights.

One of the authors asked on Mastodon what he could do to make the (printed) book more "accessible" to the intended audience, much of which are affected by disabilities. I replied and mentioned the elephant in the room: make an e-book version available, preferably cheaper or gratis, since (1) e-books are more accessible "ability-wise" for many people, and (2) many of the disabled people in the alleged target audience are poor. Apparently gratis wouldn't work (because "publishers need to live from something"), and we haven't seen any digital version of it sold in digital bookshops.
I'm really not sure what to expect from a book that mentions "leftism" in the title. As a person with multiple disabilities, we've been betrayed by self-proclaimed "leftists" and "anarchists" alike.
I'm still interested in having a glimpse into the book; maybe we could ask a local library to get a copy of …

it's a bit weird (and sometimes difficult, but maybe it will get easier) to read a book in German. had this book on the reading list since the author is on fedi (and also part of a plural system).
just finished the Prolog, and it looks really nice 😌
