Thinking about how if Trump were a woman he probably would’ve been classed with people like Anna Delvy as a scammer pretending wealth in order to defraud people but instead he’s our president 🫩 more nuance could be added here but I’m tired of this grandpa

interesting premise

this book is making me want to crawl into bed with my mom and cry 😭

“I refused to give in to the pressure of the silence” I cannot put this book down, she is an incredibly compelling author and seamlessly weaves stories from her life together while also detailing the changes that she’s trying to enact AND the discrimination she faces day to day.

Highly recommend everyone to read this book even though I’m only 1/3 of the way through, Heumann paints her experience with disability in a way that makes it impossible NOT to understand, and I especially found enlightening the portion where she talked about having to plan how much she’d drink around when people would be around to help her use the bathroom, and just how inaccessible society is to the disabled.

The author delves into a bit of Zionism in this part but it is not the main focus (literally only one sentence so far), will have to look him up after this to see where he stands now 😬

It’s getting a bit more autobiographical!!! Very interesting. Enjoying the inner dialogue the author is having with himself in this part of the book, and i would say it’s fairly convincing and mirrors the attitude and ideas of the general public. Also think I’m gonna have to buy this book as a gift for my dad lol.

So far interesting but I am hopeful the author will mention more about the role of low income (idk the best word to describe) countries, because so far the lens has been very “first world/western” focused with regard to personal choices, and imo not taking into account the people in impoverished countries who are forced by circumstance to make “bad” environmental choices.

Surprise [redacted] propaganda??? 👀
