This evening at 7 pm at the Flying Brick Library:
Solidarity is Sexy!: International Sex Worker’s Rights Day will be an event to remember! Join sex workers and their allies to discuss the intersections of radical politics, sex work, consent, patriarchy, class struggle, and gender identity. Learn about one of the most marginalized groups of workers and the fight for autonomy and respect.
Not too many details available. Around 4 am this morning, a car hit and knocked down a light post on Laurel Street across from Cathedral of the Sacred Heart. Hopefully a reported injury was minor.
Now that it looks like Dominion Power has finished work, perhaps there is an opportunity for some guerrilla gardening?
From the RVANews.com article:
Grab a handful of CDs from Richmond bands. If you check the liner notes, one name will likely appear more frequently than the rest. Lance Koehler has been professionally capturing the sounds of Richmond for a decade and he shows no signs of slowing down.
More familiar to music fans as the drummer from No B.S. Brass, Lance Koehler’s approach to recording has earned him hundreds of credits recording bands in Richmond. Minimum Wage Recording, which was created just outside the French Quarter in New Orleans and is now located in Oregon Hill in Richmond, Virginia, is the product of a very strong vision. Working tirelessly, Koehler offers very affordable rates that enable artists the ability to experiment and spend extended periods of time in a professional studio.

Calling all Richmond artists! We invite you to participate in the William Byrd Community House’s annual Byrd House Bash on May 26! We are asking local artists to create and donate a one-of-a-kind piece of “bird” themed artwork to be auctioned off at this fun and cherished event. From quirky bird houses to whimsical paintings, unique sculptures to artisan jewelry, your imaginative pieces of art will help support the William Byrd Community House’s many valuable programs. Let your imagination soar as you build your creation—in whatever shape, color, size or material you prefer.
If you are interested in donating to the Byrd House Bash or would like to see pictures of last year’s donated pieces for inspiration, please contact Jessica Turner at jturner at wbch.org or call 804-643-2717. We ask that complete projects are turned in to Jessica no later than May 16. To learn more about the William Byrd Community House, please visit www.wbch.org.
Does anyone know if VCU will be testing their siren/campus alarm today?

Qatar is an Arab Middle Eastern emerite that has a VCU satellite campus.
I am not sure if it is really open to non-students, but it will “involve students from Qatar hosting a series of activities on the Plaza for Richmond VCU students to experience. There will be food, a live camel, henna tattoos among other fun and exciting activities.”
Hopefully this is a good precursor to the VCU Intercultural Festival. Regardless, they picked a beautiful day for it. Don’t spook the camel.
From announcement:
The VCU Students for a Democratic Society and VCU Students for
International Social Justice will have a free film screening of “Rethink
Afghanistan” on February 27th at 5PM in the VCU student commons theater.
There will also be a discussion of what an anti-war movement in VA should look like.
