sent $$$ this week to Moments Co-op in oakland. instagram / twitter / gofundme “On July 30th, Wolfman Books closed its doors at 410 13th Street for the last time. Days before, several former staff members, collectively known as Wolfemme+Them, gathered together to say goodbye to the space. But as we burned candles and recounted memories of the community we fostered during the store’s lifespan, we found ourselves asking: what if 410 13th Street didn’t have to stay closed? What if downtown Oakland had a truly BIPOC-led community center? We shared our dreams of a space full of books by Black, Indigenous, brown, queer, trans, revolutionary, local, and youth writers; a space for literary events where young and emerging writers can share the stage with their mentors, a space for poets and musicians to co-conspire with community organizers; a space for a zine library, a gallery and artist studios; a space for education and activism, plus herbal medicine, free groceries, and resource distribution; a space that prioritizes uplifting and supporting Black folks born and raised in Oakland and the Ohlone people whose stolen land we live on; a space that can shift and grow, ever-expanding to center BIPOC and QTPOC needs, wants, visions, and dreams. With this goal in mind, the collective formerly known as Wolfemme+Them has officially secured the lease to 410 13th Street. We are launching as a brand new cooperatively run community center for creative collaboration and organizing. We believe it is absolutely vital as BIPOC and QTPOC that we have a physical space for connecting, building, dreaming, and learning. But in a world still ravaged by racial capitalism-and particularly as BIPOC and QTPOC artists / arts administrators / service workers / organizers who are currently unemployed or underemployed due to COVID-19-we must rely on our communities for financial support to fund the startup costs of opening this space.” DOWNLOAD RECORDING subscribe to the podcast here: http://feeds.feedburner.com/5432fun (intro by omar) TEENANGER “Just Drop It” Teenager Post Moves “With You, on Big Leaf Mountain” Boogie Night at the Edge of Town Sirena Victima “Teach Me” To You and Yours Late Bloom “Stay In Bed” NO BODY Teen Spaceship “Half a Hundred” s/t Anna Altman “White Horse” FREIGHTLINER Girl Ray “Monday Tuesday” Earl Grey Dirt Devil “Haunter” Dirt Devil Gender Work “radical dust (feat. rob'n delaine)” disruption Snow Roller “Sly” XXL Decisions “COMMAND V” Plagiarism Mud On My Bra “Tarantula Man” Demo #2 Katie Ellen “TV Dreams” Cowgirl Blues Amor en la isla “Dientes” Playa Crocante Vital Idles “My Sentiments” My Sentiments / The Garden 7" Antelope “Goggles” S/T Break Time “Oh Alice” Demo(n) Brumes “Unwavering Light” Afterglow Moving Maps “eyes to meet” eyes to meet Slaughter Beach, Dog “Glowing” Motorcycle.jpg DEHD “End” FIRE OF LOVE Amy O “Untouchable Heart” Elastic Poorage “Crumber Nuncher” 1/LF & HA/2 Wendy Eisenberg “my mother draws maps - 10/4/15, 1:09 PM” collected early works
