We're excited to announce that on Tuesday 19th May 6-9pm we will be hosting an archiving workshop lead by K.J Rawson, the creator of the Digital Trans Archive. This will be a trans-led space for all queer people. A free vegan meal will be provided, as well as tea, coffee, and biscuits. Due to the size of our space we are capping this event at 24 spaces. Spaces will be allocated on a first come first served basis, with a waitlist open in case people are no longer able to attend. We do ask that if you are no longer able to attend that you let us know as soon as possible so we can open your space up for someone else. The workshop will include a discussion of STL's own archive, a talk from K.J. Rawson about the DTA, a Q&A session, and discussions on the DTA and what a community-led Glasgow based trans archive could look like.

Librarian Bryn's Animated Film Night is back! This Tuesday, our resident animation obsessive is scarily excited to show us another slice of her favourite weird short films. Our main feature comes from animator Jonni Peppers, who made us all cry about a UFO cult a few months ago in *Wasteland*. Jonni's next series *Secrets and Lies in a Town of Sinners* presents a series of surreal vignettes about a small town and the people, cryptids and cultists which inhabit it. It's as funny and moving as her other films and we're very very excited to be able to show it. Alongside Jonni's series, we have a collection of strange and beautiful films from various corners of the subcultural hypercube! We will meet Bevibel and September from the Line Rider scene, which got very trans and very artsy in the last ten years. From the demoscene, meanwhile, we have Bryn's latest prod 'Swizzle's Journey', and the mindblowing 'Razor1911'. What's a demoscene? Come along and find out! The programme is about two hours in total. There will be a ten minute break in the middle to let you catch your breath ;) Note: *Razor1911*, *Super Flu* and *Snooze Quest* contain flashing lights. Content warnings: SALIATOS - cults, violence, family abuse Change My Name - references to transphobia, religious trauma Snooze Quest - mental illness, drug use, medical abuse, references to suicide, prisons, police violence Vulvina - explicit sexual imagery, sexualised murder, implication of child sexual abuse We try and include anything that would be unexpected or likely to cause distress, but may not catch everything relevant for every person for every film. ♿ The space has two accessible loos, and is wheelchair accessible. 🏳️‍⚧️ The space is trans-led and is a safer space with some privacy from the street. ❓ If anyone has any questions, please message us on Instagram or email [email protected]
