An interesting collection; I think in some ways the huge, huge reach of it was helpful (you get many perspectives, a ton of different ways that people understand themselves in their own disabilities, as well as their own relationships to queerness) and in other ways it was kind of a hinderance. There was just so much and a lot of it felt a little whiplash-y. I'm not sure it's a collection I would recommend reading all together, though I think it can definitely be a resource for folks looking to add queer disabled writing to like a syllabus or something like that. Some of it I really enjoyed, some of it was thought provoking, and some of it was kind of just okay, but I think worth having read across the board.
