Please join us for the April Fool Love Letter Writing Campaign. So many fools out there need to hear from all of us.
We will provide the postcards, pens, and stamps, and you can choose who to send the card to from various recipients' pre-addressed labels. There will also be some background information on some of the recipients.
Tailored to queer and trans folks of color, this 90-minute workshop will introduce strategies that can be helpful in the face of gender and race based harassment like adrenaline management, de-escalation, and verbal boundary setting, as well as bystander intervention. The class also includes an introduction to Empowerment Self-Defense techniques, starting with the foundational skills of intuition, situational awareness, body language, and voice--which prove effective in increasing safety and confidence.
Juanita More! and Glamamore invite one lucky person to the stage of the Powerhouse for a full-fantasy drag makeover. Watch as they use all of their sacred drag queen powers to tuck, tape, shape, glue, and staple this person together. When the vision is complete, they will push the newbie onto the stage for their first-ever live lip-sync performance! The magic mascara wand will be casting spells!

Say her name, Priyanka! The drag pop superstar totally smashed through the drag queen stereotype while she made her mark in traditional institutions as a legit artist. The origin story of Mark “Suki” Suknanan now known as Queen Priyanka started in the TV industry as a host on the legendary children’s network, YTV.
After 10 years of entertaining children, with the magic of drag - Queen Priyanka would be born and immediately start taking over the world of entertainment. Since winning the inaugural season of Canada’s Drag Race in 2020 - Queen Priyanka showed everyone that she is here to stay with her debut EP Taste Test earning over 20 million streams, becoming a lead on the Emmy Award-winning HBO series We’re Here, and acting roles in Netflix’s Glamourous and the upcoming film, Meet Me Next Christmas.
Described by Rolling Stone as “Fearless”, Queen Priyanka keeps proving that Drag queens can carve out a space in Pop music and get played on the radio by trusting her instincts and not playing by the rules. Breaking barriers is something Queen Priyanka is crossing off of her daily to-do list, and with her global fanbase begging for the release of her upcoming debut full-length album Devastatia, Queen Priyanka wants to make it known that she is first and foremost a pop star.
This year, we will vote at the national and civic levels. I can't think of a more consequential election cycle in my lifetime, and how we cast our ballots will determine what happens not only in Washington, D.C., and our entire country but also in our proverbial "backyard" here in San Francisco.
With more at stake on the ballot this year than ever, voting is the most important thing you can do! Early voting starts at City Hall on October 7, the same day ballots are mailed to registered voters across the City. With that in mind, I am sharing my endorsements for the national, state, and local elections on November 5, 2024.
