Status Updates From We Ride Upon Sticks

No offense, but trying to equate Heather’s experience of eating sugar in an almond mom household to AJ and Sue’s experiences as women of color in the US and Cory Young’s experience of finding her sexual and gender identity (all in the 80s too) is fucking crazy work

I just want to go on record and say I do not remember the weird race conversation at ALL. Similarly, this book is doing a lot more “but it’s the 80s so what can you do” than I remember. Will update the people if we actually address the blatant racism in the town

I can already tell this is going to be an emotional re-read now that I know Cory Young’s lore

Want to binge tomorrow but really hard to get through bc it’s non fiction… we got this
