Sometimes I Trip On How Happy We Could Be by Nichole Perkins

I thought some of the essays toward the end were much stronger than the ones at the beginning, and had some important commentary on racism within the kink scene. I appreciated the vulnerability that the author showed in several of the essays. I do want to flag that some people may find it jarring that the author repeatedly talks about how she prays her brother could be "normal" due to his autism. She has genuine concerns about how he could be harmed as a Black man who is neurodivergent; I can also see how some of my neurodivergent friends would be taken aback by the way that some of the stuff about her brother was written.
