📣 Events: Week of SEP 1, 2025
volume iii • issue 36 ~ here's your rundown of queer, sapphic-friendly events happening in Los Angeles this week.
Note from Neets
Hey bestie, I hope you are taking this Labor Day to not do any labor and immerse yourself in queer joy. I wanted to let you know that we are so proud to be expanding how we connect the queers to local resources beyond events.
We are now diving into the world of food sovereignty by partnering with QTBIPOC-run Serviceberry Farms to introduce Fruit Club; a produce box service where you receive fresh a$$ produce and also know that your grocery dollars are going back into the immediate community.
To celebrate the launch, we’re also incentivizing the first 30 member signups with a free and very stylish reusable Sapphic LA x Fruit Club tote bag!
Also…are you coming to Queer Clubhouse on September 13th? We’d love to see your sexy sapphic face. It’s very much not nightclub vibes and more kickback vibes. We are almost sold out and we aren’t selling tickets at the door, so get your ticket now!
Anyway I think I will be writing more of these notes to y’all because a girl loves to yap and I love connecting with all of you. Have the most amazing week of your life and remember that queer joy is resistance.
<3 Anita
