Pittsburgh! Join us for a launch party celebrating the release of I Hate My Job edited by adrie rose. It’s going to be an unforgettable night! ❤️‍🔥

This book is an essay collection that engages with questions of labor, class, and survival under late-stage capitalism, with a strong emphasis on local community, conversation, and cultural engagement.

Featuring readings by Jessie Sage, Olivia Snow, and Marla Cruz! We are also excited to share that we are partnering with SWOONalliance — Karuna and Sage from Swoon will be stepping in as guest readers for some of the essays in the book!

DJ Sauce Queen (@saucequeen_phd) will be gracing the decks and blessing us with a lush soulful vibe for our evening. With a PhD in ethnomusicology and crates full of wax, Sauce Queen brings an unquenchable passion and an undeniable groove to the decks—blending old school LPs that span funk, R&B, disco, jazz-fusion, and global rhythms.

Tickets are free! RSVP so we can count you in. Come support SWer brilliance and celebrate the launch of this beautiful book. 📖✨✨✨
