This is a field of philosophy I often mention aspects of or prominent thinkers of, like Foucalt and Butler. It talks about the non-existence of objectivity, how power creates truth, how everything is a social construct, and generally opposes essentialism and universalisms. It's also aligned with my ideas on identity and neurodiversity. It's also highly related to post-modernism.

I really liked this article relating their own experiences with post-structuralism, autism, and the medical model of disability. I was prepared to read a lot more from this author before realizing how heavy their use of generative AI is. This article is good, at least.
Because the historic post-structuralist writers all wrote very long and terse books I don't really have time for between work, family, and personal projects, I'd love to hear about informal blogs or the like that discuss interesting applications or interactions of post-structuralism. Please reach out if you know of any!
