What I am currently reading and reading next.

So in the past few weeks I've listened to a couple of podcasts by @srslywrong on adult supremacy / youth liberation. One which had as a guest Pearson from @coffeewithcomrades. Prior to this I was rather clueless on this, but it all made sense to me and was amazed it had escaped me for so long.

So as I follow-up a couple days ago I started reading "No! Against Adult Supremacy - Anthology" by Active Distribution which contains 20 issues of the Against Adult Supremacy zine full of various essays and interviews. I had been reading the interview with carla bergman in issue 2 and then at work was listening to Ep. 180 of
Coffee With Comrades - "Solidarity Begins at Home" with ... carla bergman. Is the universe trying to grab my attention? As it just happens, the next book on my reading list is in fact "Trust Kids!" by carla bergman published by AK Press which I am now really, really, looking forward to reading once I finish this current anthology. But currently just finishing Issue 3 of "No! Against Adult Supremacy". So far each issue has had a number of relevant insights to me, or at least a connecting together of separate lines of thought I had been aware of but not connected in the way they are here. One essay that has really struck me (as a so called adult) is "You Did Not Turn Fine" by James C. Talbot. "Struck" as in a flash of realization regarding my own upbringing and result. So would highly recommend these collections.

I've only just begun to read "Trust Kids!".

I think this short recount from the first essay by Noleca Radway captures the theme of the collection nice and simple. For context, the essay reflects on different moments of Radway's son coming out and how such moments weren't a singular, big, and conclusive event.
