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

Hey there Baysiders and Ridgewooders, Art and Labor here, your one and only source for the scandalous lives of brooklyn’s finest backwash. Spotted on the steps of a Glendale bodega, an A&L reuniting with JDJ? There’s nothing O, D, and S love more than a rousing round table on electoralism, but is the DSA really ready to play ball with the big leagues? Democrats aren’t exactly known for playing fair, or rather, playing fair anywhere they’ve already won a power struggle. Eric Adams might have won the throne of Democratic primary candidate for the mayoral race already, but an independent working class has a way of toppling crowns, preferably with guillotines. We’ll just have to see if so called leftists have it in them to reign a little terror. No matter what, though, you know A&L is expropriating all the luscious details.
