Start the year off strong.
This was almost the final book of 2022, but I can't write and listen at the same time, so instead it's a jumpstart on 2023 and this book is a heck of a way to begin.
Ahmed is SO good. Specifically as a stylist, she has the gift for linguistic play that marks late 20th century theorist, but she commits to being comprehensible every time. The play of meaning comes through, but it always reveals rather than obfusticates.
I picked up this book because of the line "when you expose a problem, you pose a problem" which goes hard and then she keeps going.
The other line that sticks with me is 
“And then your frustration [at not being heard] can be taken as evidence of your frustration, that you speak this way, about this or that, because you are frustrated. It is frustrating to be heard as frustrated; it can make you angry that you are heard as angry.” 
The way she maps out institutions of power and the role that those trying to change them get cast into is...perfect in how deeply frustrating it is.
And it leaves me with so much to think about and the role of the killjoy in religious spaces and what it is to be(come) the problem.
