meeting your heroes [A&C]
By Jamie Jung | May 1When a poet meets their hero, they are left frank and unpoetic. I had rehearsed every moment, every word, every gesture for years.

playgrounds, animals, digging up worms [A&C]
By Alyssa Sherry | April 23It’s the middle of August, and we only just got here. Right now, our whole group is gathered in the basement of a bar that’s too bright on a street that we’ve never seen in the daylight. I’m holding a beer, although I don’t drink beer, and we’re all a little drunk on Moscow Mules that cost ...

how to breathe through the rain [A&C]
By Jamie Jung | April 2Our sunroof only opens when it rains. When blue skies are all you can see, they no longer feel like blue skies. It’s the rain that makes us excited.

reconciling with “social death” [A&C]
By Johan Beltre | March 19“It’s my fault / The way I broke the Earth / It’s my fault,” ANOHNI yearns repeatedly over a blanket of mellow guitar riffs.

here’s to peace—and those who get in the way of it [A&C]
By Sara Harley | March 12Palm 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 ...

this is our little while [A&C]
By Chelsea Long | February 26A 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 [A&C]
By Alyssa Sherry | February 26I’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.

this edit kills fascists [A&C]
By Indigo Mudbhary | February 19An American Werewolf in London is not a gay movie.

Yet, if you watched my edit of the movie, set to “Ribs” by Lorde, you’d think it was the gayest, queerest ...
