Just read the chapter "queering heterosexuality" and think it is my favorite chapter yet!
Loved the way the author Sandra Jeppesen uses her personal experiences in a way to bring up issues and things to think about more broadly about anarchism and how it intersects with queer.
Also really liked the deliberate subversion of "correct" grammar by omitting capital letters all together!

Just read the essay about harm reduction as pleasure activism. Really made me think of the importance pleasure plays in liberation, and also the importance of meeting people where they are, rather than where they "should be".

Listened to the '87 CBC audio drama of it and it was such a time capsule to audio productions from another era. The specific seductive feminine voice, the music, the way shevek sounds like he is the voice actor for some favourite Canadian children's cartoon.

Bookwyrm note: just learnt how to add new titles for obscure anarchist titles to our local instance and put this one in! It is as simple as adding /create-book to the end of your instances url and filling out the details and uploading a pic of the cover. Definitely going to expand and add texts as I go through them now!

There is frequently a sense of "scarcity of liberation" within reformist social movements, the feeling that the possibilities for freedom are so limited that we must fight against the other marginalized groups for a piece of the pie. This is in direct opposition to the concept of intersectionality, since it often requires people to betray one aspect of their identity in order to politically prioritize another.
— Queering Anarchism by C. B. Daring, J. Rogue, Deric Shannon, and 1 other (Page 30 - 31)
While I applaud the great work that LGBT+ Faroe Islands have done, I can't help but critique their reformist strategy which only takes up one issue at the time, even having to take turns with other reformist movements.
It seems to me a better strategy would be a intersectional strategy which would fight for an all-encompassing liberation for all people.
I think J. Rogue explains the issue so eloquently and concisely in this quote.

Really good book covering the history of global abortion activism and how it transcends borders and legal frameworks. The book focuses on how the modern focus on Self-Managed Abortion, became the foundation of a global feminist movement.
Really good, informative book that will inspire anyone looking to get an overview of the struggle for abortion rights globally.

Really interesting read so far, on the emergence of hierarchy. The accumulation of forewords the book has collected since it's release in the 1980's can seem overwhelming, but worth it.
