This book contains brief references to terrorist organizations and government agencies (the KKK, ICE, and the DEA). The story was written before the 2024 election and revisions were originally completed in early 2025. While these organizations have always been a concern to Latine-Americans and other racialized groups in the United States, the characters in this series exist outside of the context of our current timeline, and the story is not meant to not reflect on our lived reality today. (And a huge, resounding “Fuck ICE!” from this Minneapolis-based author.)

Additionally, expect:

• Explicit sex scenes: PIV and oral sex between two non-binary people, with on-page discussion to ensure their encounters are gender-affirming.

  • Blake and Eris are both trans. Blake is a trans masc nonbinary character who has transitioned socially but not yet medically. They use the words chest, cunt, and clit to describe their anatomy. Eris is a genderfuck character who is not interested in medically transitioning. Ze uses the word cock in reference to zis genitalia. 

  • There are some (undernegotiated but enthusiastically consented to) BDSM dynamics, including power play, minor degredation, some breath play, cockwarming, pain play, and cannabis use during sex.

• Internalized and external ableism and on-page disabilities:

  • Includes references to a past car accident that resulted in major injury and long term impacts (physical and psychological). Some side characters infantalize Blake as a result of their accident and long recovery. 

  • Eris has early onset arthritis as a result of overworking zis wrists as a tattoo artist, and treats zis pain with cannabis-based treatments.

  • Blake's father was born with cerebral palsy. This doesn't impact the plot other than Blake's understanding of disabilities, including their relationship with their own disability.

  • A conversation with a grandparent who has dementia.

• Substance use: alcohol and marijuana, references to psilocybin.

  • Alcohol use prior to sex (characters are not drunk during sex).

  • Recreational cannabis use is frequent throughout the book, including during sex.

• Transphobia: ranges from a supportive parent who doesn’t quite get it to dehumanizing language, intentional misgendering, and deadnaming.
