- Tonight in the Annex, Mir will be teaching Kink 101: BDSM Negotiation Basics. Negotiating is a critical skill for building BDSM scenes, dynamics and relationships that work. But negotiating doesn't necessarily come naturally -- especially for those of us who are just entering the kink scene. Join us for a Kink 101 session on how to negotiate for exactly what you want in BDSM scene and relationships. We'll talk about negotiation styles, pre-scene negotiations, how to negotiate without “killing the mood,” checking in during and after the scene, and negotiating and check-ins for ongoing BDSM dynamics. Drawing on tools from non-violent communication, neuro-linguistic programming, and even a bit of marketing and PR, we'll learn how to negotiate as partners toward a BDSM style that is hotter, more fun, and more powerful for all partners in a dynamic. This series welcomes all genders, orientations, and dynamic styles. This workshop is designed for newcomers to BDSM, but is open to anyone who wants new tools to improve their BDSM communications. Tickets are sliding-scale and available through Brown Paper Tickets, and at the door as space allows.

They will be meeting from 6-8pm, and we'll just quote their event listing to get the importance of their mission across: “Join us for our second month of Black & Pink Letterwriting in SF at Wicked Grounds! Every month on the 1st Thursday, we’ll have birthday cards to our LGBTQ members in nearby Norcal prisons AND penpal info, so join us for whatever your pleasure is (and invite your friends)! We will have info on folks to send letters to, all the supplies, and ways to get more involved in the movement to abolish prisons. Letterwriting is one incredible way we have to overcome the isolation intended by the PIC. This is an important way to show solidarity with our incarcerated LGBTQ+ and HIV+ community members!” Please consider lending your support (and stamps!) to this valuable mission.
