Hello good humans!

We've put together a Zoom reading on Friday at 6:30 pm CDT to raise funds for Sister Library. Sister Library is South Asia's first community-owned feminist library! It not only understands and celebrates works of women but is a radical space for reading, art, and activism that is actively changing the way the world perceives women.

The library is struggling to find a permanent home in the midst of the pandemic. So come help out the sisterhood! Or come see us read new work, new poems, new writing! All you need to do is sign up via this form and we will send you a zoom link to come watch us read and perform!

While we read, write, rest, quarantine and stay safe, we can also ensure community spaces like Sister Library don’t get wiped away from under our feet. If you can, please donate here:

If you cannot, and are struggling with the grief of the pandemic, come hang out, we are too. We will read to you. And talk. And hang out.

See you tomorrow!
