⚠️ post-pride event update!

we’ve just been informed that someone who attended our pride event on sunday is symptomatic &
had a positive rapid test.

risk of transmission is obviously lower since we were all in high quality masks, but if you attended, please consider monitoring your symptoms, testing, & taking extra precautions.

as the seasons change, so does our location at the Capitol Hill Farmers Market🌷☀️ for the warmer months, we’ll no longer have an official market table—but we’ll still be there!

starting this Sunday, 4/6, find us along the north edge of Cal Anderson Park. (see slide 3 for the spot we’ll most likely be in.) stop by anytime between 11 and 2 and grab what you need. we have a bunch of rapid tests expiring at the end of May, so please come take some!

an updated guide to requesting from us ✨

things that have changed since we first started:
1. we now consistently have rapid tests in stock! we have a set number per person we give out. (coming soon: DIY sip valves 👀)

2. in addition to the Capitol Hill Farmers Market (Sundays, 11 AM to 2 PM), you can now also choose to pick up your request from during their store hours. (note that masks are optional in their shop on Fridays and Saturdays.)

3. we have a few more print materials you can add to your request. see the full list linked in the request form. for our best selection of zines and flyers, stop by our table at the farmers market!

Slide 2: Step one: Find the request form in our bio. Use the individual form to request items for yourself, your family/household, or your mutual aid group. Use the event form to request masks and/or tabling for events. Graphic of a cat in a green car driving on a curving road.

Slide 3: Step two: Complete the form. If you request kids’ masks, note the age of the kids so we can pick the best size. If you request print materials, note which materials and how many copies of each you want. If you choose farmers market pickup, choose a Sunday for your desired pickup date.

Slide 4: Step three: Get your items! We’ll contact you when your items are ready for pickup or to coordinate delivery. See our form for current expected turnaround times. Please wear a mask at the handoff, if you can! If we don’t hear back from you, we’ll cancel your request—but you can resubmit! Graphic of a rabbit in a red truck driving on a curving road.
