NEW event series! Starting off our Skillshare with Sewing 101, taught by local drag artist and costume extraordinaire Miss Josephine!

The workshop will hit 3 key objectives: mending a seam, mending a hole / tear, and sewing on a button. If we have time, we'll dive into hemming too! We'll have sewing supplies and sample fabrics, but you're welcome to bring your own supplies or items needing mending if desired.

PS we will also be providing a light lunch (vegetarian & gluten free options available) and some cute door prizes!

The Skillshare Series is all about sharing knowledge, information, and skills in order to empower us all to help ourselves and each other navigate an increasingly expensive and difficult world. We hope you'll take these skills to your roommates, friends, family, and even strangers! We think of it as a form of mutual aid, and hope you will too

Saturday August 30 at 1pm at TSC 210 S 25th Avenue. All ages welcome, 100% free.

Skillshare Series continues! This month we're a little less hands on and a little more academic - Queer professor Dr Kaeli Gretter of USM's LIS department will teach us all how to process the information overload coming at us. But don't worry! It will be still be interactive & fun, and you'll walk away feeling a little better about the way you consume and process information.

Learning objectives:
1. How to analyze information (what is the argument / opinion, what are the supporting facts, who are the experts, etc)
2. How to verify sources
3. How to check for bias
BONUS: How to spot AI

Lunch provided (vegetarian & gluten free available). All ages are welcome, and any supplies needed will be provided. Free to attend!
