The book includes a variety of writing styles, such as essays, poetry, interviews, fiction, and podcasts.

The book also includes stories from people of color, trans, queer, and Indigenous backgrounds. The essays cover a wide range of topics, including relationships, disability activism, social media, and the legal system.
