I live in the area she's writing about, so it was neat to hear reflections on local people and places, our culture, and what it's like to be queer in this area. She's thoughtful and non-judgmental. I loved how she discusses embodiment, though as a disabled person I couldn't exactly relate to her depictions of strength and athleticism. I loved the positive and loving discussion of kink, polyamory, and various queer relationships and identities.
