YOUR FAVORITE DIRECTOR’S LEAST FAVORITE MOVIE [A&C]

By Anonymous | April 1

For years, Martin Scorsese has argued that Marvel movies are not “cinema.” Marvel fans, meanwhile, have steadfastly defended their position that they are movies “you can certainly watch, if you want.” In the spirit of peace, love, and opening up channels for good-faith discourse, here are some ...

MUSIC IS THE FOOD OF LOVE [A&C]

By Grace Ma | April 1

Aries - Hector Berlioz. Like Hector, you’re a little (a lot) impulsive. If he invited you to participate in his plan to dress up in a maid outfit and murder his ex-fiancée as revenge for cheating on him, you’d probably go along with it. You’re probably the only one who can match his intense, ...

mindfully mindless: my misadventures with browser games [A&C]

By Ann Gray Golpira | March 19

While other first-years were preoccupied with the Providence nightlife, accumulating DoorDash debt, and the freedom of early adulthood independence, my own freshman year obsession consisted of something much more exhilarating—the Google Snake game. Whether I was in class or merely getting ready for ...

this song always makes me think of you [A&C]

By Alyssa Sherry | March 18

We fucked up the corkscrew, badly. Neither one of us knows how to use a bottle opener and it shows, cork crumbling onto the hotel desk like confetti. Nadia’s holding the bottle and I’m maneuvering the stopper and we’re bent over laughing and, somehow, we pop it off, acrid odor wafting free. The ...

dancing in a world alone [A&C]

By Madison Diaz | March 11

It is September 2025, and I am having a spiritual experience at TD Garden of all places. Almost 20,000 people surround me, jumping up and down, screaming, “In your car, the radio up / In your car, the radio up.” I feel beads of sweat form on my face, and I’m probably bumping into the person next ...

music for a revolution! [A&C]

By Ozzy Wagenseil | March 11

One Battle After Another, an action-thriller released last year, is the movie of the decade. And with the upcoming Oscars, this movie might have accolades upon accolades piled on its shoulders. Paul Thomas Anderson’s direction is phenomenal. Leonardo DiCaprio is a great lead actor. Teyana Taylor is ...

having a heart-to-heart [A&C]

By Anonymous | March 5

Driving through my neighborhood on the outskirts of Evans, Georgia in 2022, it was impossible to ignore the fact that the Republican primary for the upcoming gubernatorial election was fast approaching. Competing yard signs littered the streets and, for once, the political landscape of my deeply conservative ...

“this shit is sexistential” [A&C]

By Johan Beltre | February 25

It is admirable to see an artist achieve greater and greater feats as their career progresses. Witnessing points of success, and sometimes failure, is inherently satisfying as audiences continuously age alongside creators. We have seen it with artists like David Bowie and his beloved discographic journey, ...

"amazing grace" [A&C]

By Sara Harley | February 11

When my kindergarten class gathered on the rainbow rug each morning to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, I hid between the legs of my pee-wee classmates. Picking at the rhinestones on my friend’s Twinkle Toes sneakers, I watched the neon-green skinny kid squirm until our teacher gave him a red card. ...

poems i will never publish [A&C]

By Indigo Mudbhary | February 11

Over winter break, I began writing poems. This was unusual behavior for me. As I wrote in one such poem, “When I first met the poem / I remember hating it more than the illness that was in my body at that time / That made all the adults around me act so / Weird.” Specifically, I resent how “Poems ...

animal crossing and the problem with prestige [A&C]

By Grace Ma | February 4

Like every other teenage girl in the country, I was absolutely obsessed with Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH) during the pandemic. I was actually a little late to the game—I got my first Nintendo Switch in late 2020, a few months after ACNH was released, and I had never played Animal Crossing ...

older men [A&C]

By Eleanor Dushin | December 3

About once a week, I wake up across the river in the bed of a 30-year-old man (sorry, Mom). I kept this routine to myself for a few months, and when I eventually told friends, they usually reacted with, “No, you’re not,” “Are you joking?” or “Is he rich?” To almost everyone, the idea that ...

"wicked" and the illusions of radicalism

By Jack DiPrimio | December 3

My political awakening, like many in my generation, emerged less from a genuine pursuit of truth than as a performance shaped by the constant scrutiny of social media. Every opinion I shared was quickly disseminated, retweeted, or critically examined, leaving me trapped in an endless cycle of public ...

"weapons" and the world we inherited [A&C]

By Jack DiPrimio | November 19

Although Zach Cregger’s Weapons (2025) is marketed as a horror film, this classification only partially reflects the film’s broader ambitions. While the film employs the genre’s familiar aesthetics, its central concern is the gradual and corrosive breakdown of civic life in contemporary America. ...

chasing the ease of childhood [A&C]

By Madison Diaz | November 19

There’s no feeling quite like returning to my hometown after being away at college. When I begin to recognize my surroundings again, when I notice the road I took to get to my high school job, when I see the familiar trees lining my block: It’s like being born again. It’s simultaneously beautiful ...

the mind’s eye [A&C]

By Ishan Khurana | November 12

Consider, for a second, the value of forcible constraint: the weight of the absent “e” in Georges Perec’s lipogram A Void, or the mysterious vividness of the paper cutouts Henri Matisse made when illness prevented him from painting. Forcible constraint may not be pleasant, but the perspectives ...
