“For a while, the rise of sociopolitical discourse both online and in physical spaces felt like slowly breaking these boundaries down one by one: we started to teach each other that everything we knew about gender, or being fat, or poor, or chronically ill, was decided by a system that had no intention of caring for us. But then the fear of being too much slowly began to reinfect all of our minds. We began to second-guess our ability to change the world, so settled with self-optimising instead.”
Ione Gamble, Poor Little Sick Girls: A Love Letter to Unacceptable Women

Saou Ichikawa
“Aku benci buku kertas! Aku benci kejantanan budaya membaca yang menuntut seseorang memenuhi lima syarat kesehatan: mata yang bisa melihat, tangan yang dapat memegang, jari yang mahir membalik halaman, badan yang sanggup mempertahankan posisi membaca, dan kaki yang mampu melangkah bebas ke toko buku.”
Saou Ichikawa, Hunchback
