trying to get back into reading after burning out on it in grad school, + brain fog.

probably art and queer stuff and music/sound design and disability justice (and pratchett). I have pretty bad ADHD and reserve the right to not finish stuff or read multiple things at once. You're not the boss of me.

Republishing Allen Strange's Electronic Music: System, Techniques and Controls, has been a four-year project since …

I hadn't read this before and a friend sent it to me. I loved the illustrations. Also Stuart's brother George is extremely ADHD and I am in this novel and I don't like it. (don't like relating to George, do like book)

Elodie Durand: Transitions : journal d'Anne Marbot (French language, 2021) 4 stars

I read this before I send it off to my mom who has been kind of struggling with my transition stuff and needs help learning about it. I don't know how it'll go over. This might be hard to read for folks like me who need their parents to read it as the mother in the story takes SO LONG to come to terms with her son's transition. But it is based on a true story and I think that it's all pretty genuine and raw. The artwork in it is gorgeous.
