Status Updates From Disabled Ecologies: Lessons...

This book is so intense. I am underlining something on almost every page. This is so touching to read at the same time as it is quite difficult and full of detailed footnotes at times taking up as much space on the page as the main text. This is a book questioning life and death and how we classify our understanding of the fundamentals of existence. Our human bodies are bodies of water like the aquifer…

Absolutely beautiful opening to this book!! Love academic work which is so personal and told with such a passion. Looking forward to bring with this important world view for a while. She is so definitely on to something profound here.

I think more people need to read this kind of literature. I don't often get to read a well written explanation of how environmental contamination becomes interwoven with human and animal disabilities. The fact that so many years later, the victims of TCE exposure in Tuscon are still fighting for adequate care is absolutely ludicrous.

I'm reading this so slowly but that's not because it's bad.
