Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha
5.0

Just powerful, and with so many resources and great ideas. Piepzna-Samarasinha does an amazing job of drawing together QTBIPOC crip brilliance and really exploring care from this perspective. Even just being exposed to ideas around different ways that care happens between disabled people, especially in disabled, working class queer and trans communities of color, is both theoretically rich and practically useful and hugely important. They also include actual resources on things like accessible venues, and recognize all of that work, of organizing those resources and then enacting them, among others, as labor that needs to be addressed and reciprocated within our means. Strongly, strongly encourage folks to read this, as it's given me a lot to chew on and more places to go from reading it.
