I (Prince) sat down with my co-host, Jordan, to talk about how they came into politics â not as theory first, but through life, loss, and the chaos of 2020.We talked about what it means to get assigned Marx by a professor, their upbringing and early anti-authoritarianism. About being radicalized by police violence during the George Floyd protests.

It is necessary, while in darkness, to know that there is a light somewhere, to know that in oneself, waiting to be found, there is a light. What the light reveals is danger, and what it demands is faith.â What light do we see in ourselves and in each other amid the literal and metaphorical darkness of our time?

SKYLIT: âIT CAME FROM THE CLOSETâ
Horror movies hold a complicated space in the hearts of the queer community: historically misogynist, and often homo- and transphobic, the genre has also been inadvertently feminist and open to subversive readings. Common tropes--such as the circumspect and resilient "final girl," body possession, costumed villains, secret identities, and things that lurk in the closet--spark moments of eerie familiarity and affective connection. Still, viewers often remain tasked with reading themselves into beloved films, seeking out characters and set pieces that speak to, mirror, and parallel the unique ways queerness encounters the world. It Came from the Closet features twenty-five essays by wr...
