Someone stole Prince out of our toilet today. What the actual F! It was an original poster from the Dirty Mind LP. It was mine from childhood and made Broca toilet one of the best! If anyone has any idea who committed this dick move, let me know so I can get it back. That poster has graced the bathroom for over 18 years. 😭

We have had a more than few unsettling interactions this week, both at work and out. So I thought I need to make our stance more clear, from myself and my staff.

F transphobia, F misogyny and F fascism.

I don’t know if we are able to swear on here, but hopefully the message gets across.

Broca needs a few more posters from the march last week to make it extra clear for the public, so DM me if u would like to donate yours to help us decorate the cafe. Much love xx
