Hive Mind Books is pleased to welcome author and trans trailblazer Kate Bornstein to speak about and sign the 20th anniversary edition of her classic book, Hello, Cruel World: 101+ Alternatives to Suicide for Teens, Freaks, and Other Outlaws. She'll appear in conversation with Jennifer Finney Boylan. This event is free to attend. Please RSVP! Book Tickets, suggested donation tickets, and free tickets are all available. RSVP to see all options. Masks are strongly encouraged at all Hive Mind Books events. Books will be available for purchase at Hive Mind Books the night of the event. We ask that all books signed at Hive Mind Books events be purchased from Hive Mind Books. If you already have the book(s) and would like to get them signed, we ask that you buy something else at the store while here, if it’s within your means. Thank you for supporting an independent queer bookstore! About The Book The 20th anniversary edition of trans trailblazer Kate Bornstein’s unconventional guide to staying alive for teens, freaks and gender outlaws features 20 NEW alternatives to suicide, and features a new foreword by the author. This new edition features a catalog of 121 alternatives to suicide that range from the playful (moisturize!), to the irreverent (shatter some family values), to the controversial, fun, challenging, and easy. Encouraging readers to unleash their hearts' harmless desires, the book has only one directive: "Don't be mean." It is this guiding principle that brings the reader on a self-validating journey and toward a resounding decision to embrace life. Suicide rates among LGBTQ+ teens are much higher than for their cis peers; with love and humor and confession and insight, Bornstein hopes to keep every freak out there alive. She is a radical role model, an affectionate best friend, and a guiding mentor all in one. This one-of-a-kind guide to staying alive is a much-needed, sometimes unorthodox approach to life for those who want to stay on the edge, and alive. About Kate Bornstein A celebrated pioneer and advocate for the LGBTQ community, Kate Bornstein is the author of Hello, Cruel World: 101 Alternatives to Suicide for Teens, Freaks, and Other Outlaws; My Gender Workbook: How to Become a Real Man, a Real Woman, the Real You, or Something Else Entirely ; Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women and The Rest of Us ; and A Queer and Pleasant Danger: A Memoir . Her plays and performance pieces include Hidden: A Gender , The Opposite Sex Is Neither , and Too Tall Blondes In Love . Bornstein lives in New York City with her partner, Barbara Carrellas.

The long-awaited sophomore poetry collection by award-winning writer Cathy Linh Che, on familial estrangement, the Vietnam War, and Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now.

The poetry collection uses persona, speculation, and the golden shovel form as a means of moving Vietnamese voices from the periphery to the center. The speaker’s disownment raises questions about the challenges of using parents as poetic subjects, telling familial stories to a broader public, and the meaning of forgiveness. Cathy Linh Che is a Vietnamese American writer and multidisciplinary artist. She is the author of Split , winner of the Norma Farber First Book Award from the Poetry Society of America and the Best Poetry Book Award from the Association of Asian American Studies, An Asian American A to Z: A Children’s Guide to Our History , and Becoming Ghost .

Queer Billiards Based Game Show SHARK BITE The Queer Poolplayers Association (QPA) presents SHARK BITE, a live, comedy, game show in which poolplayers and comedians from the LGBTQIA+ community vie to win an eight-ball match that encourages its audience and players to roast, distract, and otherwise “shark”the competition. Come see comedians Sunny Laprade and Sheria Mattis in this first edition of Shark Bite alongside local QPA players. Laprade is a NYC based comedian and viral internet creator. She is the producer and host of T4T Comedy, a staff writer for Going Down, and the creator of the variety show Dolls on Tour. Mattis is a Brooklyn-born comedian, who has written for Reductress, Netflix is a Joke, Leslie Jones, and Fran Drescher. Her comedy has been featured on OprahDaily, PBS, and NBC. In real life you can get in a lot of trouble for sharking. But this is a comedy show, so players will not only be allowed to show their teeth, they'll be encouraged to do so by the host, the mononymous Lydia --a bicycle mechanic, organizer, and artist, who was first introduced to a billiards table at age thirteen. Lydia played on a Brooklyn based American Poolplayers Association team from 2014 to 2019; and since November 2023, Lydia has been hosting a popular, monthly pool tournament at Ginger’s Bar. SHARK BITE will be held at Fort Hamilton Distillery . This award-winning distillery and bar has an impressive drink menu and is home to one of the most stylish pool rooms in New York City. Doors open: 7:30pm. Show starts: 8:00pm. Admission: $20. Ages 21 and over (21+) The Queer Poolplayers Association (QPA) is a collaborative project now producing exhibitions and other events in the disciplines of eight-ball and nine-ball for LGBTQIA+ communities.

Pioneer Works is excited to team up with Bang on a Can to present the opening night of Long Play 2025 with a performance from the iconic Kim Gordon with her band in the Main Hall. I.U.D and Kassie Krut will open the show. In addition to Kim Gordon's opening concert, we'll be co-present another amazing show in our Main Hall this May featuring a 90th Birthday Tribute to Terry Riley on Sunday, May 4th. For more information about Bang on a Can's Long Play Festival, please visit their website . In addition to direct ticket purchases, entry to this concert is also open to 3-day Long Play Festival Pass holders. About Kim Gordon With a career spanning nearly four decades, Kim Gordon is one of the most prolific and visionary artists today. A co-founder of the legendary Sonic Youth, Gordon has performed all over the world, collaborating with many of music’s most exciting figures including Tony Conrad, Ikue Mori, Julie Cafritz and Stephen Malkmus. Despite the exhaustive nature of her résumé, the most reliable aspect of Gordon’s music may be its resistance to formula. Songs discover themselves as they unspool, each one performing a test of the medium’s possibilities and limits. Her command is astonishing, but Gordon’s artistic curiosity remains the guiding force behind her music. Gordon continued this pursuit on 2019’s No Home Record, her first-ever solo release, produced by Justin Raisen (Angel Olsen, John Cale, Charli XCX, etc.). Borrowing its name from a Chantal Akerman film, No Home Record is, in many ways, a return as much as it is a departure. When Gordon first began playing music in the early 1980s, she used a guitar, a drum machine, and some lyrics sniped from magazine advertisement copy. No Home Record contains echoes of that setup, in both form and concept while highlighting Gordon’s capacity to meld cultural critique, divulgence and humor. Front to back, No Home Record is an expert operation in the uncanny. You don’t simply listen to Gordon’s music; you experience it. Her second solo studio album, The Collective , was released in March 2024, and received two nominations at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards: Best Alternative Music Album and Best Alternative Music Performance.

May 3, 2025 from 10 AM to 1 PM Join Friends of Bushwick Inlet Park for a cleanup and invasive species removal at Bushwick Inlet Park from 10 AM to 1 PM for the 14th Annual Riverkeeper Sweep. This is a rain or shine event. Volunteers will meet at Bushwick Inlet Park, 86 Kent Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11249, between the soccer field and the East River. There is street parking but it is easier to arrive by bike, public transit or ferry! Leave ample time to find street parking as it can be competitive. We recommend that all Sweep volunteers bring a hat, sunscreen, a full reusable water bottle, insect repellent, work gloves and hand sanitizer. This site is suitable for elementary-aged children with adult supervision. Questions? Contact Riverkeeper at sweep@riverkeeper.org or Katherine Thompson at bushwickinletpark@gmail.com or (917) 912-8504. _________________________________________________________________________________________ *IMPORTANT! To ensure the safety of volunteers, Sweep Site Leaders, professional staff, and our communities, we ask that volunteers adhere to the following guidelines: Volunteers are required to pre-register for Sweep. Volunteers should not participate if they have ANY signs of illness. Over the last 13 years, Sweep leaders have completed 1,349 service projects, bringing together thousands of volunteers from NYC to the Adirondacks to clean up 382 tons of debris, and plant or maintain 8,851 native plants. This incredible effort is made possible by the generosity of Riverkeeper’s members, sponsors, and donors. If you would like to support the continued growth of the Riverkeeper Sweep, please consider making a donation . Contributions of any amount are meaningful.
