Thank you to all time great @holy_fool for these gorgeous shots, and big thanks to our extremely talented readers @danafrayne @maidenmercyy @gigi.prints @ameliablairsmith @therealedpankov @kristinstainton for sharing such beautiful and powerful work.

Since we gotta move inside for the season we decided to make it real intimate. For this year’s Bad Words annex edition we are SWITCHING it up and featuring 6 incredible poets. Don’t sleep on this talent. The venue is BYOB. Be mindful and thoughtful as always. Doors at 7:30, readings at 8pm and a hard out at 10pm. There will be a break and time to hang after the show. See you there, freaks! Stay tuned, dropping another happening annex edition in February, you won’t want to miss this one either. As always a big thank you to co host and legend @rubensindoacosta , the very talented @hmmm_ok_nice for the switch it up annex visuals and our lovely annex hosts @therackshackbk

BOO! It’s spooky season y’all and Bad Words is doing the damn thing on Halloweekend. You know how it’s done but just incase I will remind you. Slide INTO the DM’s to sign up. We always start a waitlist once the list is at capacity, and typically there’s time for the gorgeous lot of you. This is our last Bad Words at Till Death til the weather is back in our favor. So COME THROUGH, read a poem, high five a friend, buy a coffee, get out some feelings. Bad words enters ANNEX mode in December and February where we will have some exciting events happening in different locations, so stay tuned…. As always much love to co host @rubensindoacosta , our home base hosts who we will miss during the cold @tildeathnyc and the talented @ryansdesigns__ for keeping our visual game top tier.

Fuck we missed y’all. Having serious poet withdrawals after our rain cancellation. Not to fret, we coming in all refreshed for you on 8/25. As mentioned everyone who was signed up to read for June is still on our list unless otherwise communicated (sad to see some of you go, we will miss you this month). Feel free to slide in to the DM’s to double check, slide in to say “hi am I doing the thing?” We got you. We have a couple slots left but we always start a waitlist and will keep those on it updated. We always always try to get to everyone. So excited to be back in the J/M train platform groove with you all. Major major ups to cohost @rubensindoacosta for being the all time VIP, @ryansdesigns__ for our brilliant visuals and @tildeathnyc for being our home forever and ever.
