I'm heading to Manchester to see Dean Spade speak on Friday. I haven't been to Manchester in almost a decade – does anyone have any recommendations for queer and/or bookish things I should do if I'm there for a day?

On the last day of March we're hosting a conversation with two authors we adore: Dean Spade and Kai Cheng Thom! Join online to discuss how we can be the change we want to see—both out in the world, and in our closest connections. Dean's new book "Love in a F*cked-Up World: How to Build Relationships, Hook Up, and Raise Hell Together" is a resounding call to action and a practical manifesto for how to combat cultural scripts and take our relationships into our own hands.

This event is also a fundraiser for families in Gaza and attendees are asked to make a donation in lieu of ticket cost. Live ASL interpretation will be provided.

Register for this virtual event and find your copy of "Love in a F*cked-Up World" at https://firestorm.coop/events/3339-hooking-up-raising-hell-a-conversation-with-dean-spade-and-kai-cheng-thom.html. Can't make the live event? Sign up anyway, pitch in on the fundraiser if you can, and we'll send you a recording of the event to stream at your convenience!

"Beatrice speaks with Dean Spade about how we respond to crises, from climate collapse to covid, and how the state’s primary response to these crises is to try to narrow the possibilities for political action around them."

"How being able to feel a broader emotional range is a #resistance activity in our culture and helps us recover from the #romance myth... they need us numb... numbness leads to missing chances to stand up for what is right"

Another great talk by #DeanSpade and the #FireweedCollective https://vimeo.com/800684573
