WE ARE ON SUMMER BREAK but yes we *are* still hosting some of the things in August! ⁣

Check out our website or gcal for ongoing event updates. ⁣

Consider becoming a monthly supporter to help us keep Rhizome House open and free. ⁣

And remember: things like helping us stack chairs or do dishes, taking out the trash, and making sure nothing goes funky in the fridge after events are just as essential to keeping RZH comfy and running. ⁣

We love and appreciate the many ways you show up and contribute 🖤🐟

⛱ RZH Summer book & journal distro launch! 📕

Sunday, July 20th, 1-4p!

Featuring:

🐥Cuckoo by Gretchen Felker-Martin

A group of q***r kids sent to a conversion camp, the creature-feature disaster that follows, and then what happens when they return 16 years later. it’s equal parts disgusting and hopeful and also very violent

👊Late Fascism by Alberto Toscano

So far enjoyed reading it and finding analyses of characteristics of modern day fascism. I often find myself stopping and saying, ‘...oh wow that totally makes sense’ while reading it.

🖤Love in a F*cked-Up World by Dean Spade

In a highly accessible, smart, and engaging little read, Dean Spade takes the best of self-help, removes the really sh*tty aspects of it (the racism, classism, ableism, the neoliberal bootstrapism), and encourages us “to do work simultaneously both inside ourselves and against our oppressors.”

🏠Model Home by Rivers Solomon

Generational trauma as a haunted house. A psychological thriller on the surface, Solomon confronts society’s darkest ills— anti-Blackness, capitalism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia— and explores the imperfect ways we survive it together...or don’t. Centers Black anarchism & New Materialism.

🌱Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler

Haunting story of brutally realistic slow apocalypse and one girl’s journey of survival.

🌍The Word for World is Forest by Ursela K. Le Guin

Short novella about anti-colonial resistance to genocide and ecocide in space, reflection of a contemporary anarcho-pacifist response to the vietnam war.

+++All other distro items restocked too. Venmo & so-called US dollars. All money-credit goes to the press & keeping RZH open.

1 free copy of each available in our lending library.

+New journals:

🔥Heatwave 1:
A multi-media project dedicated to sharing experiences and strategizing together in preparation for the next round of struggles to break free from the infernal prison of capital.

✨Radar 2:
Radar seeks to investigate and report on contemporary crises, riots, protest movements, and compare notes on how people organize themselves to topple state power, and reflect on struggles for a life free from exploitation.
