Nu Art and Labor is she/hir!! We’re graced with the multitalented drag king, puppeteer, and playwriter Ashely Pignataro aka Vape Kid Jr.!!! Fresh off the nearly sold out run of her play The Cool Zone at The Brick Theater, she lends us wonderful reflections on anti-fascist, anti-imperalist, and anti-Ru Paul transsexual art. A true kindred spirit of this psycho little show, we discuss how to re-educate our police state compliant populace, neighbors, and friends. We’ve decided to save Ridgewood from its addiction to cishet normativity! We’ve decided to call out queer events like Twinks vs Dolls for being hostile to queer living! We’ve decided to yell at Zohran at his queer liberation march photo op! Shoutout to Demo for engineering this episode with expropriated institutional resources. We are being squeezed more and more every day, but will always find margins to make art in, and fire out the takes for yooooouuuuuu!!! <3

This is the Liz Pelly interview for the real heads!! We have a (perhaps brutally) honest discussion about the state of DIY and our extractive relationship with big tech. How do we untangle? Since Silent Barn times we’ve been researching, organizing, and building alternatives. We outline some of them in a fruitful discussion of Liz’s new book outlining the many destructive tendrils of Spotify and the pitfalls of music under capitalism at large. Join UMAW!

Can you believe it? The gang gets annoyed with another Ridgewood restaurant. Maybe it’ll make you feel at peace that the #1 podcast for trans guy divorcees isn’t really freaking out about the destruction of the federal government. It is the men behind the curtains we’re worried about. How to kill tech bros in a video game??? They hire servants to game for them, it isn’t fair. Where’s the source? Where’s the spawn point? AI could never write this description, my consciousness is beyond machine measure. The fake lesbians were right: they’re not gonna get us.

The gang’s all here. Nas is back after a brief health holiday and OK is back from Rhode Island where he was an artist resident at the Wedding Cake House. Fresh from the arms of feminist collective care, we brainstorm how to build more refuges, how to increase access to art, and generate more collective visions. Can things scale? Will Ridgewood become Carroll Gardens? David Lynch’s death marks the end of the American century as government arts funding has completely dried up, this is the era of mutual aid, carelords rise up.
