This book was a generous gift to me from someone who said they appreciated my voice my voice on social & wanted to do something nice. That was kind of wild to experience. It just came out from @dukepress.bsky.social. It’s everything I want to read right now.

Typo, reposted. Highly recommending these two books from @dukepress.bsky.social "Black Madness :: Mad Blackness" by Therí Alyce Pickens "How to Go Mad without Losing Your Mind: Madness and Black Radical Creativity" by La Marr Jurelle Bruce #BlackSky #DisabilityPrideMonth #InvisibleDisability

It is! I read it together with "Black Madness : Mad Blackness" by Therí A. Pickens. They both critically explore Blackness & disability (madness in particular) from different entry points. And using music/musicians (How to Go Mad) & speculative fiction by Black women (Black Madness..) is brilliant.
