Is the Bible Good for Women?: Seeking Clarity and Confidence Through a Jesus-Centered Understanding of Scripture | Wendy Alsup

A round up of lousy Lucys. To Siri With Love earned a dishonorable mention (since I didn‘t finish it) for most horrifying book of the year imo. #worstreadoftheyear #decktheshelves #boycotttosiri

saguarosally This sounds like a trio of books I‘d love. 😅 7y

MatchlessMarie @saguarosally Yikes! I could see how some might get into Grace Eventually and I do plan to try Lamott again but the other two are just ethically wrong imo. One promotes misogyny/inequality and the other ableism, eugenics, forced sterilization. So proceed with caution. 🚨 7y

rwmg Excellent book. My bookclub read it last year. My partner works with autistic kids and was very impressed. I'm keeping an eye open for his next.

Fall Down 7 Times Get Up 8: A Young Man's Voice from the Silence of Autism

Louise Good book! 👌 7y

MatchlessMarie @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Awesome! I am wanting to expand my TBR with #actuallyautistic authors 💜 @Gezemice 🙌@MyNightstandRunnethOver 👍 @rwmg Awesome! My son is autistic but I despise most of what is written by so called “autism mommies” although I am one so I think I will like this one 😅 @mhillis Thanks for the rec! @Louise 💜 7y

alysonimagines I love this book! And if you enjoy this one you‘ll also want to check out Fall Down 7 Times Get Up 8, written by the same author as a young man. I love that he is doing his dream in spite of the tremendous challenges he faces daily with autism. 7y

To Siri with Love: A Mother, her Autistic Son, and the Kindness of Machines | Judith Newman

CW ableism, eugenics.

Ok. I usually don‘t get ragey on here because it‘s one of the nicest places on the internet, but I just can‘t keep quiet about this. I am giving you the gift of shortening your TBR even if just by 1 ableist volume. Check out the link for all the details including but not limited to forced sterilization of autistic males. #BoycottToSiri #ableistAF
