Hey all! mao-wave

I'm recording another audiobook! And I hope some of you will be interested enough to follow along and have thoughts on the book.

The book is a retrospective on the AIDS crisis, and even moreso, the social changes that have happened in the queer community (in the US, anyhow) in its wake, both the normalization and integration into straight society of (some) gay people and the continued marginalization of others. Sarah terms it the "gentrification of the mind".

The introduction (~30 mins) is already recorded and available here (or as a file download here)

If you want to read along rather than listen, the book is available on LibGen in PDF and EPUB forms.

    Oh thank god somebody else is actually going to use this

    Yeah, those are pretty good notes, iirc the intro is more lib than the rest of the book but it's been a few years since I read it so maybe my standards have just changed. Next chapter in the next day or two. I can't guarantee I'll keep up anywhere near a daily pace but some of the chapters are short as hell so that helps. The audio quality should improve a bit too, had some dumb mic issues this time and a lot of background noise
