📚 Book Review 📚
Q: How is your November going?
Mine has taken a bit of a swerve into sick territory (don't worry, we are all doing fine) but this means I get some extra time to work on my #NonfictionNovember TBR for this month.
"What We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Fat" by Aubrey Gordon gets a whole hearted ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5 from me.
Gordon takes the time to educate with a mixture of personal anecdotes, academic research, and cultural references that bring fatphobia and the systemic issues in our society to light. She makes a point of highlighting what thin, "straight" sized people don't see (or don't want to see), and it's not only sobering, but heartbreaking. It isn't simply a plea for the world to reckon with the antagonistic world that surrounds fat people, but a call to action. We all have the power to work towards a world where people are not made to feel less for any reason, and we need to start doing that. Now.
Thanks for reading. 💛
