NOVEMBER 2025 ISSUE

Welcome to your November 2025 ANTIGRAVITY—

We open with appreciation for our AG community, enter stoic and intimidating Scorpio season, polish silverware and disinfect wooden chopping boards, debate going home for Thanksgiving, explore the potential of two-person exhibits with David Surman and Ian Gouldstone's ROOMMATES, commemorate five years of Raising Louisiana with a round of parenting gratitude, appreciate the vast spectrum of brassicae, and get a useful primer for anyone getting serious about portable sound production from Marco Gill. MaCCNO spoke with Arsène DeLay about the Makin’ Gardens program, Jane Place gets ready for a fight-back attitude as the new (old) City administration takes shape, and Alex Rawls discusses finding the sweet spot with The New Orleans Jazz & Blues Market. Our Close Encounters column features a stoned shoulder parrot and more (send us your own close encounters through our ANONYMOUS Google form or at [email protected], a place for missed connections. All email addresses will remain confidential. Don’t be a creep).

Danny Cherry, Jr. speaks with veteran and activist Zue Jernstedt about her experience with the Global Sumud Flotilla; Megan Burns talks poetics with Louisiana’s next poet laureate Gina Ferrara; Dalton Spangler goes beyond irony with Westbank native Eddy Benz; Rodrigo Delgado Jr. takes us on tour with Dremm and Gall; while Bill Heintz and John Curry interview Lloyd Kaufman and Andrew Miller about the legacy of Troma Entertainment and the upcoming screening of Mr. Melvin.

Comics, photos, reviews, poetry, a crossword puzzle, and tarot reading fill out this completely packed 72-page potluck.
