I’ve been reading the main work bc analyzed and then reading the chapter and then going back into read more of the og work and it’s made me go “oh Shakespeare is so good. Fuck” ,I’m about to graduate with a degree in theatre an I just now found love for Shakespeare

Getting thru the TERF chapter was tough. I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that these people don’t even have truthful justification for their stance. Like hardly ever is a stance not contradictory or rooted in lies. From the individual country view, to the Vatican, to the conservative right in the US and to the TERFS in the UK. No factual information backs up their argument

At this point the title of the book should be “willful ignorance” bc that’s simply what it is. People with authority spew scientifically and logically incorrect information, step off and then refuse to back up their argument because to read the research and documentation they’d have to interact w/ works of the devil or something denied in church dogma, They’re choosing to ignore fact because it’s easier

Read to page 116 in my first sitting. Truly captivating take on life, and I understand why it is considered a “contemporary bible” it reframes life in a way that makes sense for today’s people and caters to how they see the world, to a point until it begins to pivot without losing the reader.

I’m quite excited but just what the introduction has to say. Butler is aiming to answer questions I’ve asked for so long now. I hope I finish this book feeling educated and w a deeper understanding. I wonder if this book will just piss me off more, considering it was written a year ago, post trump reelection, in the midst of what the book was predicting would happen.
