"I am pleased to report that I finally picked this back up and after the first section of essays, the book is no longer insufferably jargony (barely) queer theory. Still plenty of academic exercises, but ones you can actually read without punishing your brain. I am no longer mad lol but they should have either scattered those throughout or tossed them at the end. Terrible intro for what should be a wider audience." — Aug 07, 2024 10:12PM

“When our personal value is dependent on the lesser value of other bodies, radical self-love is unachievable.”

“Equally damaging is our insistence that all bodies should be healthy. Health is not a state we owe the world. We are not less valuable, worthy, or lovable because we are not healthy. Lastly, there is no standard of health that is achievable for all bodies.”

“Real radicalism implores us to tell the whole ugly truth, even when it is inconvenient. To own the hurt and the pain. To own our shit, too. To think about it systemically and collectively, but never to diminish the import of the trauma.”

“We are not ready to fight because we love fighting. We are ready to fight because we are worth fighting for.”

“Of course, our school was segregated, but the teachers took more of an interest in our lives because they lived in our world, in the same neighborhoods. They knew what we were up against and what we would be facing as adults, and they tried to protect us as much as they could... I'm not saying segregation was a good system. Our schools were inferior. The books were used and torn, handed down from white schools. We received only a fraction of the money allotted to white schools, and the conditions under which many Black children received an education can only be described as horrible. But, Black children encountered support and understanding and encouragement instead of the hostile indifference they often met in the "integrated" schools.”
