Featuring:
Cuckoo by Gretchen Felker-Martin
A group of queer kids sent to a conversion camp, the creature-feature disaster that follows, and then what happens when they return 16 years later. it's equal parts disgusting and hopeful and also very violent
Late Fascism by Alberto Toscano
So far enjoyed reading it and finding analyses of characteristics of modern day fascism. I often find myself stopping and saying, '...oh wow that totally makes sense' while reading it.
Love in a F*cked-Up World by Dean Spade
In a highly accessible, smart, and engaging little read, Dean Spade takes the best of self-help, removes the really shitty aspects of it (the racism, classism, ableism, the neoliberal bootstrapism), and encourages us “to do work simultaneously both inside ourselves and against our oppressors.”
Model Home by Rivers Solomon
Generational trauma as a haunted house. A psychological thriller on the surface, Solomon confronts society's darkest ills-- anti-Blackness, capitalism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia-- and explores the imperfect ways we survive it together...or don't. Centers Black anarchism & New Materialism.
Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler
Haunting story of brutally realistic slow apocalypse and one girl’s journey of survival.
The Word for World is Forest by Ursela K. Le Guin
Short novella about anti-colonial resistance to genocide and ecocide in space, reflection of a contemporary anarcho-pacifist response to the vietnam war.
