    Not That Bad: Dispatches from Rape Culture
    4.5
    Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

    This book is incredibly difficult to read, and also incredibly important. The collection covers a variety of perspectives and experiences with rape and rape culture, amplifying the voices of those who are traditionally excluded from the conversation about sexual violence, including trans folks, BIPOC, and men!

    Question for those who have read this one: is this a valuable book for someone who is already fairly well-read in antiracist and abolitionist activist literature? I’ve enjoyed the first bit but found it to be a little basic for me so far. Are there other valuable things about it that come later, such as new ways of thinking about revolutionary politics that I might not get elsewhere?

  • I need a good sob

    I have only ever sobbed over one book - 'The Book Thief'. I'm not even too sure why it destroyed me that much but I sat on the public bus and cried my little heart out. I wish to feel this again. Did anyone react the same way to this book and any recs for more books to do the same ?

    “Retribution of the same kind promises he was not wrong but rather that he was small.”

    The hypocrisy of the state, the entity with the monopoly over “legitimate” violence, has always perplexed and angered me. The state mandates a certain moral standard on its people while violating the same standard itself. Ultimately, it is not enforcing morality, but proving its own power, and proving that those over whom it has power are small. The state is, in many ways, equivalent to the vengeful God of many sects of Christianity, demanding the total devotion of its people in return for their salvation.
