God, but it’s hot out here. How’s about we attend to some more attractive heat – like, say, the absolute barn-burner of a lineup at Happy Heat’s Equality Texas benefit? The magazine/content label partners with Still Austin for a party featuring such acts as Brigitte Bandit, Lord Friday the 13th, Subpar Snatch, and Vertarias. But that’s not all: Feels So Good’ll be there with a merch pop-up, as will tattooist Hayes/holyplanet66, serving flash tats to the willing and bare-fleshed. – James Scott

A team up of three local powerhouses – burlesque troupe Shea Butter Babies, cutting-edge drag and makeup artist Gothess Jasmine, and Central Texas’ ballroom House of Lepore – bring what Gothess calls “the biggest, blackest, and QUEEREST Juneteenth Austin has experienced!” Find a Black queer market of local creators, tunes by DJ Amarji, and Black performers from the worlds of drag, pole, burlesque, and spoken word like Sir Beau Elliot, Amber Nicole Davenport, Vertarias, Diamond Dior Davenport, and many more. Plus: House of Lepore’s Freedom Ball, part of Stay Black and Live 2024. – James Scott

At the start of her drag career, Divina host Tatiana Cholula told Qmmunity she’d be critiqued for not assimilating enough “American” culture into her acts. “Before I started Divina,” she said, “the scene was rich in amazing Latinx drag performers and artists, but there weren’t any spaces focused on them or they didn’t feel comfortable performing certain songs at certain spaces.” Thankfully, Tatiana did start Divina, and now every other Wednesday you’ll see Oilcan Harry’s stage taken over by the spirits of Latina legends like Gloria Estefan and Paulina Rubio – courtesy of local Latinx drag talent. – James Scott
