Still incredible. Drags a bit in places. I think mostly due to the desire to document the myriad of abuses perpetrated by the state

This is incredible

Finally getting to the fall.

I hate that this feels relevant

It’s interesting but starting to get repetitive

Pirate law!

I don’t fear bad men. I fear men who are unshakably convinced they’re doing the right thing.

“Almost a love story” is perfect. It’s an ode to a unfulfilled. Longing story cut short life without daring. A reminder that we live, but a few years and that the depths of our universe is determined by the boldness we put forth

Transcendent moments of beauty. Mixed in with chaffe

Hmmmm. I wish this was better. Seems like the usual “i called someone names on the Internet and now they’re being mean to me”

There’s some good points in here and this book makes some reasonable arguments but as a whole, it’s just kind of like mediocre.

The author has a very liberal and heavily reinforced viewpoint from that perspective

Some of the convolutions necessary to support her points just don’t work

OK, it’s lost me a bit with the “own stories” idea.

Not only is this idea wrong It’s sort of nonsensical. People should be able to tell stories about all sorts of cultures, and honestly honoring the values of that culture accurately should be the burden of the writer. there’s no reason we should gatekeep history or other events based on identity.

Surprise outstanding book. Threw this in with a couple free speech books. I’ve been reading lately and so far it’s an incredibly well written and reason look at changing norms around modern speech and how different overlaps between private public age leadership roles four different standards of speech

I need everyone in this book to be less annoying

Yeah this book is fantastic

Oh hell Yeah. This is good. Writing is good, unique characters are taking shape, story has me interested. I’m excited
