Hi dear community, We are looking to raise money for our beloved family and friends who worked at Macri Park to make it our special queer home. Due to its sudden closure, we would like to support these folks to supplement this immediate loss of income. If you ever had a wondrous, wild night at Macri taking photos in their iconic bathrooms, drinking fun and cheap drinks with these amazing babes, and being kept safe, any donation would be so appreciated to help ease this transition. @jesssamess and I, and so many of our community has called this place home for over a decade. It truly was our favorite place, made so by our favorite people who worked there. Thanks for any help SHARING and DONATING. Fundraiser LINK IN BIO

so long 2025 • onward 2026 truly a past year focused on centering friendship and family, dancefloors and house parties, live music, daydreams, adventures in faraway places and finding myself again. I’m looking forward to a renewed focus in the new year on mutual aid and hyperlocal organizing, reconnecting with friends (old & new), writing music, new gigs, seeing/making more art, getting better at taking/making phone calls and learning something new.

TONIGHT IS THE FINALE OF UNTITLED (ART STAR): SEASON 3! 8-10pm AT @cmoneverybodybk / TIX IN BIO In honor of our finale @jesssamess has created a remix of our theme song with some new fun art quotes and this new background video of an iconic art school informercial I grew up watching. It was a call to send in a drawing test of a pirate and a parrot and they would decide if you were qualified enough to join their school!!!! I’ve always wanted to put in a clip somewhere and now it’s perfect! Come see @maljoblu @sourdoestarter @jocelynknobs @lollygaglab @itsdemonica compete tonight! With Judges @tylerjashley @dragthemartyr and our resident stage queen @iammagnifa @jesssamess and I and our cast and crew put our whole selves and art and life and love into this show. It means so much to have a platform for these incredible artists using drag as part of their mediums. We love the space we create and hope you’ll join us too! To see a single art star is to really see us. Sending much love! And art school debt. 💸
