An old-fashioned library borrowing card sits in the center of a black background. On top, white and green typewriter text reads: "Nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." - Benjamin Franklin. Death & Taxes. Do dead people have to pay taxes? Do I have to pay dead people’s taxes? Do I have to pay taxes on the money dead people gave me? Let’s grab a coffee and find out. Due Date: A Library Death Salon. Nook & Nowhere. March 19, 2026 at 7pm. Below is the logo for My Parents Are Dead: What Now? featuring a cartoon skull with heart eyes atop a lime green heptagon.

Before tax season rolls around, I figured it might be nice to talk about the taxes you *actually* have to pay when someone kicks the bucket. Join me at Nook & Nowhere on March 19 for the next edition of Due Date: A Library Death Salon!

An old-fashioned library borrowing card sits in the center of a black background. On top, white and green typewriter text reads: Celebrities: They're just like us! (Mortal.) Dead Celebrities. Celebrity deaths can affect us in the same way losing a close loved one can. Sometimes celebrity deaths are even harder! Together, let’s mourn the stars of stage and screen.

After Rob Reiner died at the end of last year, I thought dead celebrities might be an interesting topic for our next death salon. Let's mourn our favorite stars of stage and screen together. See you on February 19, Louisville!

Teeth Become Weapons: Trans Grief and Rage Tuesday February 17 at 7 p.m. EST Our bodies, lives, and very beings are increasingly politicized. 
Our stories and histories are flattened, made palatable for the sake of survival. 
Our unique grief becomes increasingly buried and unheard, unshared.  What makes this grief unique? 
What do we grieve? 
How does that grief affect us?
What prevents us from engaging with that grief? 
How does our grief connect us and bring us together? Queer Death Salon is a community space for all 2SLGBTQIA+ people to come together to discuss death, dying and grief. It is a facilitated drop-in discussion space, with the purpose of building connection, skill, and resources for 2SLGBTQIA+ people navigating end of life in our personal lives and in our communities. Guest Facilitator Imogen Reid is the last of the feral trans women, a proud dirtbag, degenerate, and fuck up. She is a harm reduction advocate and educator, a former founding member of Communities Organizing for Harm Reduction, one of the first organized groups in Ottawa doing harm reduction before there were any safe sites. Imogen is a recovering drug addict, survivor, fighter, activist, shoplifter, parent, story teller, and the holder of the memories of her dead.  She is a visual artist, photographer, shitty punk musician, and author whose work explores themes of bodies, gender, queer desire, poverty, trauma, drugs/addiction and her own very weird life on this hell world we call home.  Participants are encouraged to bring their own questions, stories, and complexities to share. Automatic closed captioning is enabled for the zoom session. Follow the link in bio for more information about Imogen, on format and accessibility, and to get the zoom link.
