Victoria, BC 🐋 | 05/20

I’m nearing the final leg of my book tour and somehow it just keeps getting better 🤍 Reading at the iconic @munrobooks last night with @__kpwrites and @cori_howard was truly so spectacular! The light was delicious and warm and the company was so special.

Tonight is my final stop on this book tour for A Little Feral and I’ll be at @shelflifebooks with @single_onion_poetryyyc 💗

Opening is from 6-9pm on April 9th. The exhibit, created by Theresa Mura, is open from April 1st-26th and will be well worth checking out!

Yes, it's true. In the face of all that is so wrong in the world, I've struggled to talk about what's been going on in this corner of it, but now I have a hard deadline so it's time.

This place has until Saturday to raise $5k of back rent in addition to the $3944 current rent due on Sunday. Then there's the $10k of back rent due at the end of February, on top of the month's regular expenses. It's a lot. The deadlines must be met. As you see, the landlords have cut us lots of slack but there's not any left.

When I got the news on Sunday, I broke it to a few committed regulars who had met up in the shop for crafting, and they got very focused and energetic.

So Friend of the Bookstore Meesh @dirty.oldcrow has started a Gofundme. The lovely folk of @queerhabibis have been sharing it--solidarity, habeybi, beiti beituk while it stands. And I am selling books because that is what I do to feed this baby bookstore. Can we pull it off and continue to hold up this fragile bubble? In the end, that's up to you.

Share. Check out the GFM link in our bio. Buy a book if you haven't. If you're one of the folk who have been meaning to visit but just haven't--this is your moment. (We know you're out there because your friends tell us about you.) Yalla!

Trans and Non-Binary Sex Workers Demand Accountability from Major Canadian Non-Profits

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

A coalition of over two dozen trans sex worker activists, peer workers, and community leaders across Canada are calling out systemic transmisogyny, exclusion, and structural violence within the country’s largest sex work non-profits.

Organizations such as @maggiestoronto, @pacesociety, Stella Montreal (@organismestella), and the @canadianalliance4swlawreform have built reputations and secured funding off the labour and stories of trans sex workers — particularly Black and Indigenous trans women — while silencing, tokenizing, and discarding us. A clear example is Monica Forrester (@transpridetorontott), a trans woman and peer leader who was fired despite decades of dedicated service, illustrating the ongoing retaliation against trans workers who challenge cis-dominated leadership.

These harms are not isolated. They reflect hostile governance, tokenization, and gatekeeping, causing devastating consequences: loss of employment and income, reputational damage, social isolation, retraumatization, and even immigration challenges. Our labour has been erased, our stories stolen, and funds misused in ways that directly harm the most marginalized in our communities. We will no longer tolerate transmisogynistic non-profits claiming to represent us.

Our Demands

We demand these organizations:

•Rehire Monica
• Restructure leadership to include Black and Indigenous trans sex workers in paid, decision-making roles
• Implement transparent accountability processes for transmisogyny and anti-Blackness, led by trans sex workers
• Enforce protections against retaliation, exclusion, and erasure
• Redistribute resources to trans-led initiatives, not cis-dominated leadership circles
• Issue public accountability statements acknowledging harm and outlining concrete repair

Call to Action
We urge:
• The public to withhold trust until demands are met
• Funders to stop financing groups profiting from trans labour while perpetuating exclusion
• Media to report honestly on this systemic violence
• Allies to amplify trans and non-binary voices and initiatives

We Demand Justice!

We’ve been so hard at work that we almost didn’t notice—Saturday 12 July is this baby bookstore’s SECOND BIRTHDAY!
We would not have reached this milestone without you. We hope you’ll stop by and say hello on Saturday! You could win a prize! You can roll dice for a discount—and double your chances when you make a donation to @crisps4esims! We’ll close the day by sharing a sweet treat. We are just so glad to be here, in the best neighbourhood and the best possible company, and we would love the chance to thank you in person. #indiebookstore #queerbookstore #yourbookstore #twoyearsold #babybookstoreisgrowing #shoplocal #readqueerbooks #eastvanbookstore
