This profile of @CeciliaGentili by the brilliant @HarronWawker in @vulture is a monument of interviewing: read it for the skinny on everything from shade to sex work, to surviving the non-profit world with your sense of humour intact. PERFECTION!

Wooden Shoe Books @woodenshoebooks

Saturday!! @CeciliaGentili and @intermittentcat at the Wooden Shoe! With opener @cyborgmemoirs!!! B there!! Ty to @littlepuss and @caseyplett for helping put this on!!

And by some random factors, earlier today while my monitor was glitching on a shoddy connection, when it reconnected one of my file windows was open to the following words of praise from back when we dropped Style of Attack Report.

It’s been a HOT minute since I read anything in public. If coming out is possible and seems like a good time for you, would love to see you. Of course, I’ll have all the usual books and zines of my Desire Hope Despair distro.

The Wooden Shoe is ground level with a slight incline to enter the front door. The bathroom is small/not ADA accessible, and gender neutral. Their fold-out chairs for events are usually lightweight wooden ones with no arms, or a slightly sturdier kind with arms, I can’t remember. In my imagination they have some sturdier chairs?? I’m gonna hit them up to confirm and update on my twitter @cyborgmemoirs.

Till then
