We’re working hard to make this event accessible and inclusive. Though we can’t guarantee a scent-free event, we do ask that you refrain from wearing scented products to the event out of respect to those with chemical sensitivities. Thank you.

“As a femme with disabilities it was a pleasure to get the chance to sit and read a collection of pieces all by queerly feminine folks who had really smart, sexy, important, complicated, challenging, exciting, inspiring, and innovative things to say about their own experiences with disability, community response, accessibility, and the intersectionality of identity” --- Sassafras Lowry
