“Becoming Abolitionists” starts strong but loses focus and could have benefitted from better editing. For a shorter read that offers a stronger critique of the prison-industrial complex, read “Are Prisons Obsolete?” by Angela Y. Davis.

Love 99% Invisible and love this book! Minus one star for the lack of photos. The illustrations are aesthetically pleasing but ineffective at communicating detail.

It feels improper to rate this book, because, well, this was Lou's life. How do you rate a life?

“For our whole lives, our bodies are the only things we have here on earth. Life here is the body. Death is leaving the body behind.”

Lou would've turned 70 in 2021, and I'm sad that he didn't get to.

Sped through this book in a single sitting. Incredible photos and interviews. It means so much to see older trans adults. To imagine that life can extend that far. Infinitely grateful to the authors and subjects for sharing their lives and their images here. What a joy.

A digital update to Robert Bringhurst's classic The Elements of Typographic Style. Concise and practical. Hard to ask for more.

It takes a frustrating amount of time to actually grok what's going on—by the time you understand the setting and the characters, the story‘s over.

I quit halfway through the book.

Extraordinarily helpful and practical. Truly life-changing. -1 star for sloppy editing and formatting.
