#our work is everywhere#syan rose#quote#Our Work Is Everywhere: An Illustrated Oral History of Queer and Trans Resistance#being visibly queer is just. so. important.#i remember being closeted and first moving to a bigger more liberal city#and just staring in awe at every openly queer person and every flag pin and every gay totebag and everything#not that the city is overrun by gay people or anything but its just such a huge difference in comparsion to where im from

there are trans people here - h. melt
rating. 3/5
i think this is just not the style of poetry that i prefer
kinda simple writing and straight to the point kinda wish there was more depth

a girl is a half-formed thing - eimear mcbride
rating: 4/5
beautiful and tragic story, religious trauma, very interesting characters
would have been 5 stars but i just couldnt get used to the writing style it was just a bit to experimental for me
other than that it portrays everything extremely well, illness, grief, trauma, trauma responses, abuse
at times really hard to read bc its really dark in some ways but still really really interesting would definitely recommend

manifesto: on never giving up - bernardine evaristo
rating: 4/5
really enjoyed this one
the only other book of hers that ive read is girl woman other and i kinda wish id read more before reading this bc she talks a lot about how and why she wrote certain books
definitely plan on picking some up some time
really interesting to read about all her experiences growing up and to see how it all shaped her writing and her entire life
definitely would recommend
