FREE New LGBTQIA archives-inspired writing by: al aguas Kiyaan Abadani madhvi trivedi-pathak Please note that Maneo Refiloe Mohale cannot be with us on Feb. 20. Watch for Maneo in a future Show Us Your Spines reading. ▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼ al aguas is an artist living and working in Oakland, CA. They earned a BA in Art History and Studio Art (2017) from San Francisco State University and a certificate in Latin American Decolonial Feminisms and Theory (2019) from Escuela de Dialogos Globales CDMX.In short, their visual and written work may include their experience(s) each day embodying self in relation to their indigeneity, gender queerness, financial insecurity, and proximity to other resources like education. They envision a space where these are simulated and calibrated at the artists' discretion. Kiyaan Abadani is a diasporic Iranian artist, writer, and community builder living in the Bay Area.  They’re a disabled & neurodivergent QTPOC cultural worker who loves science fiction, Sufi poetry, creating memes, decolonial thought & practices, and resting on their heatpad. Community organizer and educator, madhvi trivedi-pathak's poetry wards off the evil-eye of state-sanctioned-cis-straight-assimilation and honors the decolonial tongue. They are a queer, non-binary South Asian artist whose work reveals a portal to the poetic praxis of disability justice, azaadi (liberation) and the intergenerational tremors of trauma yet to be resolved.

Our first fiction pick of 2020, by Alex Myers.
"Go West, Young Man." Isn't that the advice every East Coast boy has considered at least once in his life? At nineteen, almost twenty, Ron Bancroft thinks those words sound pretty good. Newly out as transgender, Ron finds himself adrift: kicked out by his family, jilted by his girlfriend, unable to afford to return to college in the fall. So he heads out to Wyoming for a new start, a chance to prove that--even though he was raised as a girl, even though everyone in Boston thinks of him as transgender--he can live as a man.
Eureka Valley Branch Library launching monthly "Queer & Present" program series, marking the 50th anniversary of San Francisco Pride march. Starting Jan. 15 at 7:30 p.m. with musical legend Blackberri. https://bit.ly/36lzdVM

You Know Me Well A Novel (Book) : LaCour, Nina : Mark and Kate sit next to each other in school but are barely acquainted until they meet at a San Francisco club during Pride Week and connect over each one's forbidden love.
This weeks’ #fictionfriday is a YA coming of age story set against Pride Week in San Francisco. Kate has run away from a chance to meet Violet, with whom she has been in love with from afar. Mark is an all American boy in love with his best friend, who may or may not feel the same way. They meet at Pride and instantly become best friends. This touching depiction of a friendship between gay and lesbian teens is not often found in literature, and the authors have created authentic characters that we can all relate to. It is a story about queer romance as much as it is one about friendship and solidarity between queer people, and of how it's normal to outgrow your friends and crushes and overcome your fears.
"The pacing and voices of LaCour's and Levithan's alternating points of view are on point, keeping this sweet...tale moving gladly forward." -Kirkus Review

Born in the Philippines, Ivy Alvarez grew up in Tasmania, Australia.
