here’s to peace—and those who get in the way of it [A&C]

Palm to forehead, mouth agape, and wiping away my tears with a blanket, I have never had such a physically emotional response to a television show as the first time I watched Fleabag. The mini-series is a one-two punch: What begins as a comedy about the owner of a guinea pig cafe twists into a meditation ...

it’s all over the place! [A&C]

“1…2…1, 2, 3, 4!” All at once, the messiest, most disorganized, most insane group of rock ‘n’ roll legends come together for an iconic cover of a Beatles classic.

battle of the pre-teens [A&C]

There's truly one thing in the world that frustrates me more than the current state of American politics: Roblox's viral multiplayer dress-up simulator, Dress to Impress. Whether during a particularly monotonous period of lecture or a restful moment of Mock Trial practice, I find myself consistently ...

this is our little while [A&C]

A table, a desk covered with magazines and loose sheets of paper, posters calling for revolution. These are the set pieces for Susan Glaspell’s one-act play The People, which tells the story of a “radical and poor” newspaper and its staff as they stumble toward a more hopeful future. It’s a ...


In The Shadow of the City

in the shadow of the city [A&C]

I’m running down the beach with a girl who’s never seen the Atlantic. The sky is blue and unrelenting. Our hands burn with ice from where we dipped them in the waves. When the January wind blows, it bites hard into the droplets crystallizing on our fingertips. It’s your first time on the East ...

this edit kills fascists [A&C]

An American Werewolf in London is not a gay movie. The love story at the center of the movie is decidedly heterosexual, and the two male leads have no sexual or romantic chemistry whatsoever. Yet, if you watched my edit of the movie, set to “Ribs” by Lorde, you’d think it was the gayest, queerest ...

you know i’d give my life for you [A&C]

The photos are, frankly, grotesque. There’s an uncanny valley quality to them: You can tell that this man, based on the lighting and costuming, is performing. And from how thin and dark his eyes are, he must be Asian. But the skin of his eyelids is stiff and artificial. Even if you didn’t know that ...

"holding space” for TikTok's "Wicked" memes [A&C]

Like most off-duty musical theater kids, seeing the Wicked movie over the holiday break was an emotional experience, second only to receiving my Brown acceptance letter. Since then, I've been religiously listening to the soundtrack, horribly imitating the "What Is This Feeling?” choreography across ...

i’ll consume you—lovingly? [A&C]

For all its faults, I can’t help but love the TikTok algorithm. Each evening, it thoughtfully selects heartwrenching sapphic media and drops them into my eager palms with care and restraint—feeding me just enough that I’m hooked, but not so much that it feels forced. Just enough that I can tell ...

who is Cindi Mayweather? [A&C]

For two decades, Janelle Monáe has tipped on a tightrope toward mainstream success, yet she has seemingly never been able to fully break out commercially. As a result, very few people are aware of her ongoing multi-album science fiction saga Metropolis, which has been over 20 years in the making. Inspired ...

american myth in motion [A&C]

His blue-jeaned ass is emblazoned on the cover of 30 million copies of Born in the U.S.A., swaying and teasing. In ’80s concert footage, he’s a sweat-dripping, fist-pumping powerhouse with muscles bursting out of a sleeveless flannel and fuzzy sweatband. He’s earned his title as the hardest working ...
