loved your notes on the individualization of identity. there is something more beyond category and how we can navigate through art, especially, and social justice.

[@bibliosophie]

wonderful summary of some of the problematics of identity/legibility/individualism/tokenism/flattening (et cetera! there are so many different tendrils at play here) and the knot of attempting full, transparent representation of people, topics, points of view
lol at books as relationships/friendships and breaking up with them - I feeeel that hard

[@thelefthandedreader6632]

Two unique books here! As always, very interesting topics discussed here!

being in a reading slump sucks!! i miss montreal!!

[@allisonh9352]

I really appreciate what you said about Care Work. I agree with your perspective on the constant labelling (which not only is dehumanizing in a way but also became monotonous in this book). And the weird association of transmasc/ butches as holding up the patriarchy. I wasn’t able to put these thoughts into words so I’m glad to hear your take!
