Fighting the good fight and fucking the good fuck

Hey, friends in Western Mass/the Pioneer Valley — can you do some research for a dear friend of mine? More below:

Hi folks, I just had a college gig cancel on me (due to lack of funds). I’m sad (not to mention a little stressed out about the financial impact). But, this also means that some space and time have opened up in my schedule for me to do another college gig or two this semester*. So. Want to bring me to your campus or community center? I’m a seasoned performer, activist, and writing...

xox, Gina *
I’m a seasoned performer,...
