personally, Disability Visibility hit a lot better than this.
i think the narrowing of the topic (from visibility to intimacy) really really hurt this, as for many essays it either felt as though they were narrowed specifically to fit the topic or just didn’t fit at all.
a lot of this book leaned a bit too far towards being pretentious for me (which sadly is a common theme when i try and read books specifically about disability justice)
some essays i adored, but a lot just did not hit the spot like Disability Visibility did

sorry to point out a specific essay, but i’ve learned over time that Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha’s work is just very very much not for me. i have a lot of respect for them as a person and get why people love their work, but her tendency to use a long list of identifiers before mentioning the person and what they say (which will be completely unrelated to the identifiers) drives me up the wall. i don’t think she means it this way at all, but it just makes identities sound like buzzwords and wayyyy too twitter-politics for my liking.
