Book launch event with Jessica Lawless for Cultural Capital Doesn’t Pay the Rent: A Queer Memoir in conversation with Mack in Elk Grove, CA at A Seat at the Table Books on Saturday, June 13th from 4pm to 5:30pm. Learn more and rsvp here.

About the Book:

Cultural Capital Doesn’t Pay the Rent is a story about loss, economic survival, and three decades of organizing against the interlocking hellscapes of neoliberalism. Jessica Lawless’s memoir is a queer, anarcho-punk history of community care and healing justice.

An original member of Home Alive, the Seattle-based, feminist self-defense collective founded as a response to the unsolved rape and murder of a beloved friend, Lawless takes the reader into subcultural spaces of the 1980s and ’90s where anticapitalist concepts of race, gender, and sexuality were developing against the backdrop of the Christian right’s early culture wars.

Digging into their personal archive of pre-internet flyers, meeting notes, zines, photos, newsletters, exhibition announcements, journals, and funeral programs, Lawless explores the somatic impacts of remembering and forgetting. Her attempts to leave violence in the past lead her to the institutional violence of academia, the absurdity of the Los Angeles art world, the crushing poverty of cyclical subemployment as an adjunct professor, and the heartbreak of working in the labor movement.

Reflecting on the past while entering menopause, Lawless crafts a narrative that twists and turns along a winding path, continually rejecting normative conclusions. Cultural Capital Doesn’t Pay the Rent is a moving account of abolitionist feminist resistance that will inspire anyone who’s experienced the hopes and hypocrisies of leftist activism.

About the Hosts:

Jessica Lawless is an artist and one of the cofounders of the self-defense collective Home Alive. Her artwork has been shown in galleries across the US, included in international anarchist and queer film festivals, and censored by a Catholic university. She was a regular contributor to make/shift magazine and periodically contributes to the Anarchist Review of Books. Jessica wrote the introduction to Lady Lazarus: Confronting Lydia Lunch (Questing Beast, UK), contributed a chapter to Resolutions 3: Global Networks of Video (University of Minnesota Press), and had pieces in the anthologies Feminisms in Motion: Voices for Justice, Liberation, and Transformation (AK Press) and Places Like Home (Literary Kitchen). A former adjunct professor and labor organizer, she lives in Sacramento, CA with her partner Von and their two toothless cats.

Mackenzie Wilson (they/them), aka Mack, is a local Community Organizer and Artist. They helped co-found organizations like Decarcerate Sacramento, the Sacramento Valley Tenants Union, the Sacramento Justice League, and others. For the last 10+ years, they have made it their life’s work to build people power through things like popular education, guerilla art, and mobilizations that have forever changed local politics and the conversations we have around housing, homelessness, and incarceration in Sacramento County. Their values and principles are rooted in abolition and their praxis has laid the groundwork for building the new institutions needed to care for our community, its basic needs, and the spaces of joy and connection.

ALL BOOKS ORDERED THROUGH EVENTBRITE MUST BE PICKED UP WITHIN SEVEN DAYS OF THE EVENT.

Taking the recently published book The Reticular Society (PM Press, 2026) as their guide, Ian Alan Paul and Andrew Culp will reflect upon the networked reorganization of capitalist society, the diverse ways digital technologies have invaded and imposed their shape upon everyday life, and what forms of revolt might remain possible against the suffocating flows of our online world.

This event is organized in collaboration with PM Press as part of their All We Have Is Each Other Speaker Series.

Ian Alan Paul is a theorist whose work engages with technopolitics and anarchist thought. Over the course of their life they have taught and developed projects in the United States, Mexico, Spain, Egypt, and Palestine. They presently are part of the faculty of the Graduate Program in Media, Power, and Difference at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, and published their first book The Reticular Society with PM Press in 2026.

Andrew Culp is Professor of Media History and Theory and Director of the MA in Aesthetics and Politics in the School of Critical Studies at the California Institute of the Arts. His scholarship recovers negativity as a political and aesthetic force, with interventions in radical philosophy and anti-political theory. His first book Dark Deleuze (University of Minnesota Press, 2016) argues against the “canon of joy” that has domesticated French philosophy. His newest book, Anarcheology of Power, examines the enduring divide between rulers and the ruled across five modes of power.

Situationist writer and translator Ken Knabb is currently leading a Zoom discussion group on the recent collection of his own writings, The Joy of Revolution and Related Texts. The group meets every other Sunday and participation is free. For more information, please email Ken at knabb(at)bopsecrets(dot)org
