Crafts, Laughs, and Fighting the Gestapo!
A Pleasant Dog
🕞
3:30 PM - 5:30 PM
📍
A Pleasant Dog
Join us at A Pleasant Dog (1430 Knapp St NE) for a gathering of crafts, laughs (and/or tears), and fighting the gestapo!
Is watching these rapidly escalating atrocities unfolding day by day chipping away at your hope for a better future? You are not alone! We are living in unprecedented times and although it can be hard to know what to do or where to turn, we all know that we must stand together and fight back. Even though there are countless ways that we all can and should be fighting against this authoritarian regime, among the most crucial are connecting with your community and raising money to directly support those on the front lines, together we can do both! Crafting has been shown to help regulate our nervous systems, so what better way to connect with our community than to collectively regulate our nervous systems while standing up against the oppressive systems that surround us.
Crafting supplies for creating keychains, pipe-cleaner pups, plus varying levels of knitting and crochet creations will be provided, but don’t be afraid to get even more creative; along with snacks and soft drinks. All crafts created using APD materials will then be listed on our Etsy shop, once sold: 100% of the proceeds will be donated to GR Rapid Response Team and Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee.
We will also have our beloved Al(Allison) LMSW, who is a therapist and licensed social worker with years of experience working with kids and families recovering from traumatic events, present for crafting days; to help us work through the emotions that arise when dealing with so much collective trauma. Although, if you’d prefer to craft without the pressure of participating in conversation, we will still greatly appreciate your company!
RSVP encouraged via Facebook invite or an email to parker@apleasantdog.com to ensure we have sufficient space and materials, but all (except ICE) are welcome to join us, regardless of an RSVP.

Craft & Connect
The Bluestocking Bookshop
Craft & Connect is our every-other-Friday evening gathering for people who like to make things and talk while doing it. Officially, it’s a space to bring your work in progress: knitting, crochet, embroidery, hand-sewing, or any portable craft. Unofficially, it’s stitch n’ bitch, so bring your vents, rants, and raves as well!
Projects that have been seen at a C&C night: unfinished novels, blackout poetry, nail polish, amigurumi, linocut stamping, scrapbooks, bullet journals, washi tape, bracelet-making, cartooning, painting, embroidery, hemming, stuffed animal assembly... Come with your half-finished projects, your tangled yarn, and your need to yap your way through questionable pattern choices. Craft&Connect is a low-pressure, high-conversation hangout where progress is optional and community is the whole point. All skill levels and questions welcome!

Speaker Series: Naming What We Know
Out On The Lakeshore
🕕
6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
📍
Holland Area Arts Council
We're excited to announce the next installment of our Speaker Series, this time featuring our dear friend and all-around amazing human DL McKinney!
This talk weaves together personal narrative, scholarship on cognitive inertia, and practices of meaning-making to explore how individuals and systems resist change. Rather than centering relatability or trauma, the session invites reflection on advocacy as a practice of naming what we know, translating lived experience into shared language, and gently but persistently challenging the belief that inequitable systems are inevitable.
DL McKinney (they/he) is the Director of the Milt Ford Legacy Collective | Rainbow Resource Center at Grand Valley State University, where they lead LGBTQIA+ student support, education, and community-engaged programming grounded in equity, care, and belonging. A Grand Rapids resident and self-described Laker for a Lifetime, DL brings an interdisciplinary background spanning business, public administration, health, and higher education leadership.
In addition to their campus leadership, DL is deeply engaged in community-based work across West Michigan, collaborating with educators, nonprofit leaders, healthcare professionals, and youth advocates to strengthen pathways of access, care, and representation. They are a frequent facilitator and speaker on topics including intersectionality, LGBTQ+ inclusion, systems change, and story-driven leadership, known for creating spaces that invite honesty without spectacle and challenge without harm. Across roles and settings, DL remains committed to creating spaces where people can live more fully, speak more honestly, and imagine futures that are not limited.
