A.S.L. PRINCESS on Queer Anger, CLASS WAR COLLECTIVE, and Fighting Trans Misogynoir
samedi 8 mars 2025 • Duration 01:53:44
In this episode of The Dugout, we sit down with ASL PRINCESS, a visionary artist, organizer, and founding member of CLASS WAR COLLECTIVE, to talk about the power of queer anger, the necessity of being antagonistic to trans misogynoir, and the radical act of building community on our own terms.
ASL PRINCESS shares stories about growing up in a family with mixed political values, navigating rage as a Black trans person in a violently anti-Black world, and why we don’t waste time arguing with bigots to prove our existence. We explore the horror of defining ourselves through the lens of the state, decolonizing our love and intimacy, and what it means to show up in community—not just for others, but for the past versions of ourselves who needed that space, too.

Why Are We OBSESSED with Hot Revolutionaries?
Season 2 · Episode 3
mardi 14 janvier 2025 • Duration 27:57
In this episode, we delve into the intersections of desirability politics, revolutionary violence, and media spectacle, exploring how attractiveness shapes public perceptions of political acts. Using the Luigi Manjoni case as a focal point, we ask: Why does his "hotness" dominate the narrative? How does desirability dilute or amplify revolutionary discourse? Drawing on texts like Blood in My Eye by George Jackson and Belly of the Beast by Deshaun Harrison, we examine how aesthetics, anti-blackness, and capitalism intersect to influence activism, media, and power. Join us as we unpack the complexities of desire as both an entry point and obstacle to meaningful political action. Check the show notes for resources to continue the conversation!
