Bluestockings hosting limited-capacity opening this holiday season in new LES storefront

Bluestockings, the volunteer- and collective-run bookstore and activist space, will host a soft, limited capacity reopening this Thursday (Nov. 19!) in the new space at 116 Suffolk St. between Rivington and Delancey.

Bluestockings will be open — foyer-only hours this holiday season — on Thursdays to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. until Dec. 20.
Meanwhile, the build-out continues at No. 116. Bluestockings launched a crowdfunding campaign to help "keep providing vital resources to our queer, trans and SWing community." (Find the GoFundMe here.)

Bluestockings opened at 172 Allen St. between Stanton and Rivington in 1999... before moving on at the end of July. 

You can follow the Bluestockings Instagram account for updates.

    What is “SWing”? No snark, that’s just a new one to me.

    Probably "sex work[ing]."
