a community jesa:
💛 chuseok can be a time to nurture our connection to our ancestors. whatever that means for you, explore it with us
💛 we will prepare a jesa table. food offerings, a mat, incense, paper, string, a few other bits and bobs to hang things if you wanna
💛 join us in a collective remembering. write the names of people to honour or grieve. hang them alongside ours. maybe a photo that’s ok to share. or a memento. a poem. it’s optional. it’s whatever we want it to be <3
💛 thank u to moon jung for this community jesa drawing x

〰️ let’s not treat KQTs like our personal tour guide - this is their day, yeh?
〰️ let’s have fun !!!!!!!
〰️ encouraging masks indoors, even it’s just for some of the time ;)
〰️ if you have any questions or someone gives you the yuck / makes you feel uncomfortable, come see a cutie wearing a ‘queer pride’ sticker drawn/made by @arts_yoony - we got you bb 🫶🏼
