hello peoples!

below is some information on an event i'm putting together w/the
coordination of a person named cale from monkeywrench books:

what? film screening: the abortion diaries & teen mami
where? monkeywrench books110 E. North Loop, Austin, Texas 78751
when? january 22nd, 7:30pm - 9pm

The Abortion Diaries is a documentary featuring 12 women who speak
candidly about their experiences with abortion. The women are doctors,
subway workers, artists, activists, military personnel, teachers and
students; they are Black, Latina , Jewish and White; they are mothers
or child-free; they range in age from 19 to 54. Their stories weave
together with the filmmaker's diary entries to present a compelling,
moving and at times surprisingly funny "dinner party" where the
audience is invited to hear what women say behind closed doors about
motherhood, medical technology, sex, spirituality, love, work and
their own bodies.

Teen Mami is a documentary short about one girl's experience having
two children by age 16. This movie was not made to condemn teen
mothers, but to examine the origins of teen motherhood and debunk some
cultural stereotypes about young Latina mothers.

we might have a discussion period after the films. details to come.
hope to see you there!
