this was a truly remarkable read. i love the way alice’s voice shines in this, she's got such a distinct tone! and she’s fucking hilarious. the way this is laid out and tells her life story without being so overt about it is unique and makes for a great reading experience. i definitely took a lot away from this; it made me laugh, feel seen, lit a fire under me, and made me reflect on my own biases. i work in disability advocacy, and have for years now, so it was great to see this different perspective in storytelling and have it be very upfront about why it’s important that it’s different. that comes up a lot in my work, but isn’t reflected in disability narratives overall. this disruption is innovative and truly indicative of the foundation of the community.

highly recommend!!
