This Pride Season, we can't just put out the 🌈 rainbows,
✨️ glitter, and
🕺🏾disco balls
without leaving adequate room for rage, grief, and protest ✊🏾

By producing this “bash,” we aren't calling for violence. We are calling on folx to tell the truth. About how you're doing, what you have experienced, and what you need to make it through.

🤬 Fascists hate this.
🤬 They hate when we gather. They hate when we connect.
🤬 They hate when we care.
🤬🤬🤬 They especially hate the truth.

And now, we must do a whole bunch of sh that fascists hate. So, let's do it together.

You belong here.

You were meant to be on this 🌍, at this moment in history, being exactly who you are.
It doesn't always feel like that, we know.
But, it doesn't mean it ain't true.

Thank you for being here and for having the courage to share your story.
We can't wait to hear it.

We all have hard days.
Some are harder than others.
Some are easier to bounce back from.
Some feel like they will never end.

No matter what your hard days look like, you are not alone.

We're so friggin proud of these two.

Tatiana Isabel Gil and Danielle Simone aren't just brilliant playbackers.

They are also leaders of .worlds.incubator, working to bring new plays by ***r playwrights into the world.

Their latest project is a brand new piece by Ocelotl Mora .vida.trans called "En Vida: Les TransCestors" and it's happening THIS WEEKEND in Albuquerque.

We'll be there Saturday night. Come hang with us and support this new work.
