Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good by adrienne maree brown

hopeful informative inspiring slow-paced
This collection made me uncomfortable and that was good. It showed me how far I've strayed from my original desires/intentions when I was young - I so thought I would be free love, fully realized, pleasure seeking, and open to "out there" shit. But something changed, and I can't say what. Now I feel almost prudish, wincing at writing about pleasure, even hating the word "pleasure." So while this was an imperfect book (needed a lot more editing and was disconnected), I'm glad I stuck with it. It reminded me that I need to purposely seek out more of this to remember what I used to want. And to see if I still do.
