very cute
5 stars
i love this kid of anthologies even though i don't know what kind is it. how to classify it i mean, in my mind.
it is also very informative for people who know nothing on the subject.

anche molto bene e ben scritto e credo sia importantissimo, ora come ora, riconoscere come il colonialismo sia stato ed è uno strumento usato sia per incentivare problemi interni che per mascherare alcuni aspetti della nostra cultura.
e che, come sempre, le napoletane e i terroni hanno più in comune col sud del mondo che il nord.
ci sono stati rallentamenti nella lettura dovuti ad alcuni capitoli un poco troppo pesanti teoria. gramsci con la pala e quindi mi scendeva quella uallera che solo gli accademici di sinistra so capaci di farmi scendere.
per fortuna, il libro non è tutto così. <3
it is a very fun and interesting reading. it is a playful joy to read it and you can easily do it in one session. it also really inspired me narratively because both storytelling and the language are uniquely queer. i would love to find more quirky speculative fiction like this.
i love the ko sisters and i love everything they say and talk about and also the way they write and basically i love what's in this book.
what doesn't work for me is that it isn't really a book. it is more transferring a blog onto pages and well calling it a book lol.
which can work or not i guess. and it didn't really work for me this time.
it could and should have been a way smoother reading especially because im into everything they say and because the writing is super accessbile.
but i just was never fully engage and i dread finishing this sometimes.
now i need some cool fiction for detox.
yep, as i said, it's a good book to gift to that friend of yours who just realised they were living in the matrix. it's uk focused and it has a nice intersectional historical analysis of "the movement".
the last two chapters are a surprise being slightly more "radical" and "direct" than the rest of the book saying that, you know, there is only so much we can talk about. at some point, we got to do shit.
good and cute. nice little essay to help already-anarchists think more, but that could be also a nice little introduction for people who are not yet familiar with this way of life. and the illustrations are all so good! it would be amazing to wheatpaste them all around our dirty grey cities!
that was long. and beautiful and exciting. i want to be a queer deity now and make love with chaos and death.
i think i might have read of a canon short story called "not the end" somewhere. does anyone know if that's true? and where to find it?
because of the format (tiny chapters of 4/5 pages) and the total number of pages, it kind of goes fast, but it def need a re-read or a slower-paced reading in the first place.
biopic with a hint of magic realism, our new fave comic book genre.
not saying the book is bad, more like pointless. despite the title, it just tells you about how the internet is NOT for the people (anymore?) has it ever been?). there's mentione on some good alternatives on different levels, but noting more. the seems vaguely radical, but the total lack of any mention of praxis or discussion around praxis make him sound just like any other reformist at the end of the day. so, yeah, disappointed.
like, i wasn't totally sure about it at the beginning, but the story capture you no matter what and well it surprises you alright. also, i could relate a lot only to the shitty stuff happening to the ain character. lol. sad.
i mean, loads of anti-fantasy and anti-imperialist talk, but this story doesn't really do much beside changing the ethnicity of the characters. the key problems are still there and they dont seem to have been dealt with. there is almost an reformist vibe as well in the whole book. not sure what i've just read tbf.
nothing to say beside read it. beautiful. migrant life. blood family issues. home questioning. all kinds of identity journeys.
mate, i need to read more biopics. they're so good.
... but not too good. if you're looking for something uplifting and cute, go for it.
i picked it up because it was in a list of "queer" graphic novel, but the only queer narrative i've seen was right at the end, so, yeah, not too queer neither.
