Admin of bookwyrm.cincodenada.com, as you might expect. Endlessly curious engineer; something approaching, say, genderqueer. Third rhyme with dactyl feet: it goes here.

Got my paperback just in time for the longest chapter yet, half again as long as any previous, and my god, how is there still half of this book left?? Where are you taking me, Ada??

Read the last 70 pages in one sitting, which is notable for me these days. A fitting conclusion to this chaotic book, looming forward to finishing the series!

Ell commented on Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg
I'm deeply impressed and also a little sad about how relevant this book is that even nearly thirty years after its publication and fifty years after its setting. There's so much more space for people like me to exist than there has been, space this book helped create and which I am endlessly grateful for, and yet the core struggles around gender and identity are strikingly similar, even as someone who's going in a different direction. Really incredible work.

I've reached the part of the where the protagonist's gender has migrated far enough that it overlaps my experience in unexpected, reflected ways, and it's giving me things to think about over here. Gender is a big ol' mess, y'all!
