This is another one that I'll probably post a proper review of when I finish it, but so far--- which is not very far, honestly-- my principal reaction is "You... realize that going and staring at alt-right chatrooms where they're talking about how they want to rape you, not just people in your marginalized groups (which is bad enough) but you, specifically, is a form of self-harm, right? This is a thing you are aware of?"

Because I'm getting the strong sense she's not, in fact, aware of that; the genesis of this book seems to have been deliberately seeking out alt-right spaces and lurking in them reading all the awful stuff without taking mental health breaks. She even talks in the introduction about how incandescent rage is basically the only emotion she's been having for months. (Yes, this is infuriating! It is worth being infuriated about! But the way she's talking about it makes me just sort of shudder and go "This cannot possibly be healthy.")
