Am a long COVID survivor and felt like I wasn't alone for the first time in a long time. Read this book and sobbed. Needed to take mult. breaks due to brain fog and all the emotions coming up over my medical experiences. Highly recommend for anyone with LC or loved ones of people with LC or really anyone looking to be more informed on the current state of LC advocacy and disability justice work.

Idk there's something really Western and white and pink-washing about nonconsensually referring to your brown dad a "f*g" bc he hints at his sexuality in a way the author interprets as queer. Feels like even though they didn't mean it disrespectfully, it was a choice made in bad taste. For that and other reasons, I lost a lot of respect for Piepzna-Samarasinha as a writer even though a younger version of myself really enjoyed reading Care Work.
