"not sure how to feel about this yet. it feels important but also like i'm not supremely pleased with the execution. a lot of telling of facts and not showing of the stories and feelings that the author claims to want to get at alongside the history. a lot of the same pathetic expressions with sad eyebrows that don't quite capture the heaviness of the emotions. i'll keep going." — 1 hour, 38 min ago

"“How could I have thought such a thing, since I did not wish it? And I could not suppose that my parents would see any harm in a visit in which I myself saw none...I imagined, like everyone else, that the brains of other people were lifeless and submissive receptacles with no power of specific reaction to any stimulus which might be applied to them" this book is like the definition of being autism-coded" — Aug 20, 2026 09:29AM
