QUEER PICTURE DAY

Next Sun at 2pm · Oakland

QUEER PICTURE DAY 💌 by OMG Visuals I’ve had this idea in my mind for years and I’m finally bringing it to life. A lot of queer people never really got the chance to fully express ourselves as our fully realized selves growing up. So I wanted to create a Picture Day for us now. A space to document who we are, who we’ve become, and the versions of ourselves we dreamed about for so long. Come in your best whatever-that-means-to-you. Dress up, be soft, be bold, be sexy, be playful, be fully yourself. I want to capture the queer joy we carry and preserve this moment in time together. This will be a community portrait event with a backdrop, music, candid moments, and eventually a yearbook-style archive with “Most Likely To…” superlatives and community pages spotlighting the people and spaces that shape us. My dream is to make this a yearly series — something we can return to every year to see who we are becoming. We’ll be at my favorite bar in downtown Oakland during Pride with a DJ, good energy, beautiful people, and room to connect. Come ready to take portraits, meet new people, and be part of something special.

Can I Get a Witness? Open Mic

Sun, Aug 23 at 5pm · Oakland

CIGAW is ONE YEAR OLD 🥳🥳🥳🥳💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾Come celebrate the open mic that’s changing the culture of spoken word as we know it!! Can I Get a Witness? (CIGAW) is the first open mic of its kind, because after each poem we talk about it. We talk about what emotions came up, what resonates, and how our individual experiences relate to larger conditions. Some call it “poetic aftercare”, we call it a poetry witnessing circle. Here’s how it works: 🎤 open mic list with 8-10 poets. 🎤 Poets can share for up to 5mins. 🎤After each poem the room speaks back for 3-5mins. We have a few rules to keep the evening cute/supportive: 🚫 no Advice 🚫 no Scores 🚫 no Critiques ⭐️⭐️⭐️The goal is engage in meaningful conversation rooted in the themes found in the poets work—which typically hits different for each listener. During the event we provide “Ways We Witness”and “Optional Speaking Prompts” that keep the container supportive for both the performers and the audience. If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, RSVP and tell a loved one. See you there 💃🏾✨ Your donation helps make this effort sustainable. Thank you! ☀️

Maison Noir Vol. III — Bal Masqué

Sat, Aug 29 at 7pm · San Francisco

August 29, 2026. Hibernia Bank, San Francisco. The mask goes on. Maison Noir returns for its third chapter, and we're not holding back. Bigger crowds. More performances. A scale of production you haven't seen from us yet. The same uncompromising standard of elegance and atmosphere that made Vol. I and Vol. II sell out, taken further than before. Step into a night of masquerade, where identity dissolves behind gold and lace, and the line between mystery and glamour disappears. Curated live performances. Roaming characters drawn from a world of secrecy and seduction. Dramatic lighting. Every detail, intentional. This is not a party. It is a disguise worth keeping. Expect more than you imagine. We are always aiming to surprise you, in the best way. Presented in partnership with LUPFR Entertainment, Ben Holfeld, Scorpio Events Booking, and Join Mutuals

Double Dipping: A Mixed Culture Picnic

Sat, Aug 22 at 1pm · San Francisco

Imagine your mixed and multicultural identity embodied in a single bite: What ingredients would you use? What recipes would you follow, or reinvent? There are few culinary canvases as blank and infinite as a dip: something saucy, something crunchy to scoop with, and basically any ingredient from around the world. In celebration of how cultures blend and mix in our identities, join us for a multicultural dip party in Dolores Park! Some things to know + do: - Bring a dip + something to dip with to share that embodies two or more of your cultures (inspo down below) - Be ready to swap stories with fellow mixed humans! There’s a lot to connect on when it comes to identity, food, and identity via food 🤩 - Don't want to make a dip? Join us anyways, we need people to enjoy what we're making! - We'll provide plates, cutlery, and bubbly waters, but invite you to BYO reusable ones to help reduce waste too! 🌍

The Carrom Room II

Today at 4pm · San Francisco

We're back for round two! Many of us grew up playing carrom, or at least heard stories of our parents and grandparents playing it. We wanted to create a space to rekindle our love for this tabletop game and connect with other people who are interested in playing it. This event is for people who want to play carrom - it doesn't matter if you haven't played in 15 years or have never picked up a striker in your life. At the end of the day, it's about connecting with others over a game and a cup of chai. Registration includes chai, snacks, and game time - we'll have multiple boards, games will be played in brackets and there will be cards and ludo for people to play in-between carrom games. Don't worry - we'll have instructions (and the game is quite self explanatory) Plus, we'll have prizes! Think you got good aim? Come test your skills :) ---------------------------------- You must venmo @safizaq to buy your ticket and confirm your spot Note: 'Going' does not guarantee entry into the event.
