Design a Lighter + Kandi Bar

A low-key daytime space for queer and trans writers to work alongside each other at Hive Mind Books & Coffee. Bring your laptop, your manuscript, your half-finished poem—whatever you're working on. It's the kind of casual, judgment-free environment where you can actually focus while being around people who get it.

A welcoming Thursday night for TTRPG players of all levels — whether you're picking up dice for the first time or you've been running games for years. Each session features different indie and small-press games, all wrapped up in one night with no prep or ongoing commitment required. Show up, find your table, make some new friends, and maybe discover your next favorite game.

A monthly fiber crafting gathering for masc-identifying artists at any skill level—whether you're picking up needles for the first time or you've been knitting for years. Show up, stitch, chat, and meet other people who get it. Thursdays 6–8pm at the Brooklyn Community Pride Center.

The final chapter of Cirque du Squirt arrives with all the theatrical excess, boundary-pushing performance, and unapologetic sexuality that made the series legendary. Expect acrobatics, drag, live music, and a crowd that came to celebrate bodies and desire without apology. This is the last chance to witness the spectacle.

The queer community's watch party for Big Brother's biggest night — expect a room full of superfans, live reactions, and the kind of energy that only happens when your people are gathered around a TV that matters. 3 Dollar Bill transforms into the ultimate viewing experience for the season finale.

Throwback Thursdays at The Toolbox Bar is your weekly hit of nostalgia — a night built on the songs that defined you, spanning the best of the 80s, 90s, and 00s. Expect a packed dance floor, DJ sets spinning all-decade hits, and a crowd that knows every word. It's the kind of night that makes Thursdays feel like the real weekend. Grab your friends and come ready to dance.
