Sister Mothra teamed up with some of the Southern Illinois PrideFest Royalty and the Rainbow Cafe to present a Drag Brunch at PK's as a fundraiser for the Carbondale Assembly for Radical Justice (CARE). Particular emphasis was given to the Rainbow Refuge project, which is helping queer and trans folks relocate to Southern Illinois from states enacting laws that criminalize their identity and healthcare.

Sr Mothra took full advantage of the venue's age restrictions to work a little blue--as in, you do not want to know how this clown nun juggles balls (hint: she only uses two!). She also came with ruler in hand to enforce nunly decorum--which means she was measuring everybody's everything! As an extra pervy perk, she got to give Korra DeVill a spanking with her ruler, proving she can get that sting through a drag queen's padding! What can we say? The moth has swing in her wings!

The event included two separate performances featuring sets from local band "Temporary Satisfaction" and belly dancing by Renn Hart. Drag performances across the gender spectrum were provided by Princess Korra DeVill, Prince Azure Du D'Claire, and Page Jelly Lizard. Pk's was an amazing host, offering special dishes for the brunch, including pink, white, and blue transcakes. After expenses, the event raised $650 for CARE and was a whoppin' success--literally whuppin' Korra's perky behind, too!

Sister Fagatha Hardness and Sister Mothra Stewart ran the "Wheel of Trans Trivia" at the Southern Illinois Transgender Resource Fair on Friday, welcoming new members to the community and students back to school. Now, the SOIL Sisters were not responsible for coming up with those questions; they just spun the wheel, looked pretty, and handed out prizes (sticky condom flags!). Those questions were hard, y'all!!! But they had fun, giving clues and changing the rules as needed to keep things upbeat and educational. You know, a trivia game at a trans resource fair should be fluid, right? 

(Oh, wait! We are reminded that the prizes were a choice of trans-themed stickers, mini trans flags, or condoms. Silly us! That's not to say sticky condom flags weren't available as the event wore on, though.)

The SI Trans Resource Fair was hosted by Rainbow Café and included most LGBTQ organizations in the area as well as organizations sponsoring food accessibility, community health, physical therapy, housing, etc. Local health clinics providing both reproductive services and gender-affirming care were also prominently present. Any organization acting truly with pride for the Southern Illinois transgender and LGBTQIA+ community was present and having a good time. The music was awesome, the food was great, and the crowds were large--both in the Rainbow Café facilities and across the street in the Carbondale Town Square Pavilion.

Now who wants a sticky condom flag, cuz you know a dirty hoe has extras! Yeet!

​We took to the streets of St Louis again to celebrate community and spread joy and joy at the Black Pride Expo hosted by Black Pride StL.
When not teaching sorority girls how to fan clack or showing the proper way to breathe while working through a contraction Sister Marjorie Arcana and Sister Jewnita Hug along with our amazing new Aspirant Hannah wandered through the tables of vendors at the Polish Heritage Center in the A/C sharing our Sistory with different organizations. We even had a moment to enjoy a tasty beverage!
What a wonderful way to kick off the month of August and keep it hot and spicy for our BIPOC LGBTQIA+ community. We also do apologize for Sister Jewnita breaking in to St. Stanislaus and creating mischief.
