I read our main title: Sitting Pretty: The View from My Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body by Rebekah Taussig. This nonfiction memoir-in-essays is, so far, my favorite nonfiction read of the year! Rebekah’s essays tell the stories of her life growing up paralyzed in the 1990s and 2000s all the way to her current role as a disability activist. Rebekah describes the complexities of having a disability. She then turns to what is means to face an ableist society. Her discussion of the problems with the term ‘ableist’ hooked me (spoiler: she talks about how reading print books shouldn’t be seen as the only way to read, which as a librarian I completely agree with). Rebekah highlights how disabled people could be the most out of the box thinkers in the world as they have to find workarounds all day every day to do the simple things that able-bodied people take for granted. This is a must read for everyone.
