not sure how i felt about this one. i liked it a lot when i was reading it but i always struggled to pick it back up after putting it down. nevertheless, it feels very relevant to our age of overlapping apocalypses.

i think perhaps only reading this on the train over the course of most of a year is not actually the best way to absorb this dense and dry hunk of text, but it's still got some really fascinating ideas in it! i'll try to read the second volume more expediently.

what the fuck did i just read (complimentary) (awestruck)

what a strange, funny, haunting little book so far!

can’t sleep, let’s read some Discworld

i’m not feeling well and i need something light and fun!

if you hear me talking about “shadow work”, this is what i mean

i’m actually reading the huge collected volume, but i’ll be damned if i read six books collected in a doorstop and don’t count them individually.

reading for my book club so it's gonna be a slow burn!

absolutely beautiful.

will try to get a review out soon, i was just rushing to finish it before the end of the year!

thanks to Heather Freeman's podcast for bringing this to my attention!!

The introductory polemic is superb; i wish the author would read it and reconsider his support of people derided as "fascists" and "transphobes", and rejoin the actual left. But the amount of binary, cissexist thinking throughout the rest of the book suggest that he won't. Nevertheless, it has a few great ideas, and the writing is beautifully florid. Pirate it.
