"Audiobooking as this has been on my shelf for ages. It is very interesting reading what past scifi has predicted. So many things in this books world have or are already happening in some way. Especially how stupidly absurd and silly it is like the American dystopia. But, everything is still on "videotape" and still returning tapes to blockbuster. Can't get it all right." — Dec 03, 2025 02:02PM

"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

“More often than not, my experience has been that whiteness sees love as a prize it is owed, rather than a moral obligation it must demonstrate.”

“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.”

“Antiracism work that does not break the heart open cannot move people toward meaningful change.”

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

“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.”
