When the world burns with the impacts of climate change and a few men's need to dominate, when AI threatens to replace us in all meaningful endeavors and makes seeing truth nearly impossible, what is the point of keeping on writing and making art? But let's not forget we are the lucky ones, blessed with a love for writing and beauty, and a community to support each other. When the time is dire, we must learn to sing louder, and hold on to each other even tighter.
Come celebrate this evening with us, for we are luckier than ever, to be able to find each other among the fires of the dooming end time, and hope to find new insights and courage to go on living a good life and fighting a good fight!
