-NvSr. Spikes Labrenthe * Sister to Elaborate Irish Dutchess Guest Six months ago initiative for Queer folks to do a clothing swap, bring clothing of one gender or nongender specific and take items they would like for themselves or others, has had some donations, foundation named Out of the Closet, building 501c3, looking for a board of directors, lots of donations business attire, wants to work with other orgs that help with training and resume assistance, no contact
Struggles to get good collaborative energies with life center Hampton, they allow her to host two meetings a month, has had difficulty working with people, Spikes seems to think there might be an opportunity through individuals and resources
Spikes says guest is very much like us, and wants to share contacts to uplift this person’s mission, their creative ideas out of their head and into the streets, very excited about the rollercoaster, intends to come back with a bang
Abbess’ Closet idea is brought up, the correlation between projects
Labrenthe leans towards bdsm community
Monday night some clothes will be organized by size gender and such, wants to work with other communities, recognizes the help with hygiene is important
Recognizes hardship in one’s skin for trans and nonbinary communities
Sacral asks about clothing; have you heard or known of karen’s closet, Irish says she knows her since before she passed, didn’t realize that it was attached to TAP, unaware as it’s not heavily advertised in the bdsm community Asked if she wanted to collaborate with the life center Speaking of competitiveness? Sacral answers there are several trans orgs, in reality it is more like holding hands, connecting with spider webs, it’s not a competition. Irish wants to work with SRC? Wants to help extend marketing reach. Speaks about tunnels creating boundaries Sacral suggests she can offer contacts, but Irish states she gets no responses. Tina says Bumper runs Karen’s closet for TAP Irish is aware, wants to keep her stuff on the peninsula and again states there’s no request for collaboration, that there’s friction, but from the household. Tina offers to connect. Irish and Jorge chat up details Abbess thanks her for her time. Spikes has more: States she’s been in the background, ear to the ground, few months now. Gonna get with Selinas to go over PFLAG Prom, Fairy Godmother Project, needs volunteers Pleas for help Several community centers reaching out to her, needing supplies, a community garden in chesapeake, one in newport news, trying to fatten up resources because food scarcity may be coming Thinks we could use this as a point to help feed the community Also talks about the Labyrinth wants help with educationals Chaplain is familiar with Labyrinth and wants to help, speaks to folks unable to communicate or verbalize-malarkey notes to do some reports Situation came up, possibly sensitive, a system for saints and patrons is brought up, she says she almost got hit by a car while going to a job fair Something came to her and stopped her, long story short her mind was on one person in particular, and it was Lexi She is considering nominating her for Sainthood for Patron Saint of Safe Travels Ian mentions Guardian Angels as per p&ps, Sacral offers distinction definitions As per impending draft of p&ps, Lexi is already on the list, it’s a matter of getting all the info together, there’s a process of garnering evidence. So that’s in the works, with help of other organizations, but time factor and self care put it on pause. Malarkey suggests collaboration. Sacral, future manifestations, this saturday is the mx/monster contest, reach out for tickets Cleric Ace will be on site photography, Malarkey intends to attend, Spikes will be there to help with setup, Chaplain will help too. And has something for the executive session.**
