    Considering that I organized a bookclub for Capital Vol. 1 in /r/CTH and created scaffolded and application activities, with a schedule, so individuals would feel motivated and it would help manage with executive disfunction and keep just about everyone engaged and on track, tell me more about my ableism.

    And last night, I was, hilariously enough, talking to a friend with ADHD symptoms to compare with my academic and professional struggles. I’m not trying to be ableist, at all.

    It was merely opinion on reading the primary text, and no where did I say somebody unable to do that is an idiot, or beneath me, or anything else? Are we not allowed to rate books on personal difficulty?

    You call it dull, but he is constantly biting and critiquing existing academic. The book is full of literature references. The footnotes give so much context to British events, and people. Chapter 10 has some of the saddest passages about women and children dying on their working line, or being roused at 3am to get to work. It is a work of passion, but it strikes a fine balance between polemic and a theoretical work of research.

    There were two other podcasts, Marx Madness and Real Ass History Hours that was an off the cuff recap for each chapter, rather than sentence by sentence discussion. I’ll find my google docs with notes. I can recommend using the perusal tool in our lit club, if it helps.
