Ultimately a plea for a more compassionate world, Joynt’s efforts acknowledge the way the technology of a  racialized power structure grinds up objectified individuals in its machinery, but also reveals the complexity in how even those who so-called benefit from that automation are also harmed.

I’m adding “NECESSARY” to the badges this paperback wears on its cover. 

Between Queers, this book is a necessary cathartic cry with a friend who gets it. Comforting. Loving. A cool drink of water or a cup of hot tea. Being seen.
