@unsuspicious@wyrms.de das buch ist an sich gar nicht anstrengend find ich, sondern sehr erhellend. anstrengend war höchstens das am PC lesen... ich fands echt gut, grade aufgezeigt zu bekommen wie sehr die eigene nationale prägung den blick auf nahost verändert und zu realisieren was für ne krass emotionale debatte das eigentlich ist, die weniger mit den realen und historischen ereignissen zu tun hat sondern auch mit eigener identität, schuldabwehr, weltanschauung und verstrickung in eigene voreingenommenheit und unreflektiertes umgehen mit diskriminierung. grad für leute aus D-land die sich aus guten gründen nicht mit schland identifizieren fand ich das buch echt gut um die argumentationsmuster aus linken deutschen medien zu verstehen. also es geht auch mehr um argumentation und denkweisen als geschichte, bis auf ein kapitel über deutsche kommunisten und antizionismus, antisemitismus und stalin. ich würds dir empfehlen!

what i love about this novel is that it sucks me in. i want to read for hours, the story is interesting and the characters are lifelike. i'd recommend.

For me it was a nice overview about the very basic mechanisms of work and capitalism. Really liked the small stories inbetween and for the first time i've understood how the economic crisis in 2008 worked. I'd especially recommend the chapter on economic and banks, it gives a basic rundown on what certain mechanisms are and how they're called. What really bothers me though: the book is really white and has a very certain perspective on things. There's no bigger mention of race, slavery and colonialism and how it's linked to capitalism. And personally I think it's unhelpful not to mention the books and authors where the writers got their ideas from, a) because it makes fact checking and further reasearch more complicated and b) it can be disrespectful if those authors are already more marginalized.

A novel by the inspiring author SchwarzRund - it's a black queer novel about a Berlin singer songwriter with roots in Biskaya, maneuvering her queer 3-parent family history and her own emancipation as a Black woman. Really heart wrenching in the end and there's a lot of lyrics from the characters songs in the book.

It's a nice and entertaining comic book with the majority of published Dykes To Watch Out For comics. If you like seeing the life of some liberal lesbians with all their ups and downs, it's for you. I really did not like the casual biphobia and transphobia at some places in the comic, and in the end it kinda bored me seeing them living their nuclear family life and only ranting about politicians. My favorite character: Lois. She's really cool.

A detailed runthrough of decentering feminist discourse from white middleclass cishet women in the feminist movement. I'd say it's a good starter for anyone slowling diving into feminist theory. bell hooks writes very understandable, it's pleasent to read and there's a lot of inspiration on how to change a feminist movement.
