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 the book.

one of us already started reading a book by Robin Wall Kimmerer. this looks interesting.

Finally getting around to the last of this 5-part volume, on practice of kinship. I brought this because I'm on a train today and it's pocket-sized!

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 😌

read it mostly while on train, to sooth my anxiety. it's very easy to pick up and put away to read later. want to continue reading the series :3
