Katie McClellan’s Reviews > Disability Visibility: First-Person Stories from the Twenty-first Century > Status Update

The chapter on disability rage (particularly as a woman) was so gratifying to read I felt so seen🥹

Just thinking about how difficult it is as a disabled person to seek joy, and yet somehow, myself and the disabled folks I know are able to find beauty and joy in the simplest of things. Sunlight, the smell of rain, a good laugh, feeling good enough for a walk. We know what we’re missing, so we don’t want to miss the little things we do see. Those moments just become so much more vibrant, they mean so much more.

Really loved Jen Deerinwater’s chapter on the erasure of chronically ill indigenous people
