TextaQueen

welcomes guests for the second Riff Raff Reading Room of 2026. We’ll be open by appointment Sat 4 April & Sun 5 April and every first full weekend of the month.

Make a free booking to browse the BIPOC library in a COVID-safer space - alone or with people you bring - for up to 2 hours at https://cal.com/textaqueen/riff-raff. If you practice pandemic precautions in your daily life you can request to be introduced to the space personally. There is also the option to visit without human interaction.

Riff Raff Reading Room shares TheySwarm’s library of titles by First Nations, Black, and people of colour (especially q***r and trans) authors and artists with a focus on disability justice, Indigenous and other radical resistance, speculative fiction, memoir, self publishing, picture books and poetry.

I’m having a sale amongst the bin fire of the world. 20% off anything in my shop - Bollywouldn’t, Learn Your ACABs, giclee prints etc with code ‘handshake’ in honour of repetitive strain injury. Send a receipt supporting or other mutual aid (I’ll post suggestions in stories) and I’ll include a lucky dip selection of my vintage merch no longer available online, equivalent of the donation (though priceless, really).

Like most everyone with whom I choose to connect, the bin fire is inflaming my chronic conditions - in need of more care and rest, and to work less than seems possible, especially when compelled to creatively and otherwise respond to the dire horrors.

If you like my work and are able to, please support directly by buying some of my hot merch, and counter the unprofitable nature of being a disabled artist with a full time unpaid job of caring for own chronically pained body while trying to make creative work that challenges power where the $ lie.

Sale is on through October. Please expect arrival on crip time - i’ll have help to post by the end of the month. Your merch will not be sat on by pets prior to sending.
