Hey y’all! The weather is starting to turn a little cooler at nights, and spooky season is just around the corner.
Our friends at Fate & Folklore | Witchy Gifts & Readings | Durham, NC and Bryan & Johann are having a special screening of Practical Magic on September 4th in anticipation of the big sequel release on Sept 11th. We are the after party for the night! DJ Marrs is going to be spinning some tunes reminiscent of the Practical Magical soundtrack to get you geared up for the new film. Stop by on Friday between 9-11pm to hang with us. Wear some witchy attire if you feel so compelled🧙‍♀️

Q***r Clothing Swap: Back to School Edition🚌

Whether you last sat in a classroom 20 years ago or yesterday, it’s time to school us all on your savvy sustainable fashion skills! This size- and gender-inclusive swap is all about welcoming autumn with community connection, sustainable style, and q***r joy.

How It Works✨
Bring your gently used, clean clothing to drop off between 7:00-8:00 PM (please only bring items during this time to keep things organized!).
Starting at 8:00 PM, you’ll be able to “shop” the shared collection and take home pieces that make you feel amazing.
Any unclaimed items will be donated to the LGBTQ Center of Durham’s Trans and GNC closet.
