Last week, a couple of my fully vaccinated friends got into a lengthy debate over the future of their post-pandemic faces. They both agreed that covid notwithstanding, 2020 was a banner year for not getting sick with the kind of cruddy little nothing illnesses that generally torment one in a normal year of interacting…

Not a joke, just a fact: Bimini Bon Boulash is one of the most engaging and abrasive drag queens to premiere on the international circuit in... longer than I can quantify. Known for their starring role on RuPaul’s Drag Race U.K., where they dramatically lost the crown to comedy queen Lawrence Cheney, Bimini became a…

Carl Hart is a neuroscientist, drug researcher, Columbia professor, and unabashed heroin user. His recent book, Drug Use for Grown-Ups, mixes personal anecdote (heroin is hardly the only taboo drug he’s enjoyed) with his research findings, arguing that the media portrayal of a one-hit-to-addict pipeline is overblown…

Sharon Stone isn’t like other people. This she reminds us several times throughout her new memoir, The Beauty of Living Twice. “Yes, I was odd, but not on purpose,” she writes of her youth as an exceptionally bright child in rural Pennsylvania (or as she calls it on practically every reference, “Penna”). “I still…

An inquiry into the police response of a March 13 vigil for Sarah Everard, a 33-year-old woman who was killed on her walk home in London earlier this month, concluded that officers “acted appropriately,” despite video and photos to the contrary.

“This is me, you understand?” Octavia St. Laurent declares triumphantly to the camera. “I love myself for who I am, what I am. I’m beautiful, I’m talented, and there’s no woman who can stand out there next to me. And if they can? Bring it on down.” Thirty years on, and there hasn’t even been a contender.

Pardon me for my lateness to this news item, which has electrified me with something akin to both horror and respect: Kourtney Kardshian let Travis Barker suck her finger in public?!

On Monday night, a night usually reserved on my television for wrestling, my screen was invaded by the most exciting game of college basketball I’ve seen since possibly ever. It was an Elite Eight matchup between million-time champions UConn and the lady-bears of Baylor to determine which team would make it into the…

Last week, the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that a person can’t be convicted of sexually assaulted someone who is intoxicated or under the influence if they drank or took the drugs willingly.

More women than ever hold seats in their state legislatures (yay!), but the outdated family leave policies in their workplaces remain stubbornly unchanged, making it harder for them to do their jobs (boooooo!).

On Monday, Arkansas’s state legislature became the first to deny trans children basic access to gender-affirming medical care.

I watch Red Table Talk quite consistently, for reasons that should be clear: Olivia Jade, entanglements, that Jordyn Woods interview. But I’ve fallen off the wagon a bit in recent weeks, and now I’ve come to regret this unfortunate turn of events because it seems I’ve missed the threesome conversation.

The case against Ghislaine Maxwell, longtime associate to Jeffrey Epstein, now includes allegations that she groomed a minor around the age of 14 so she could later be sexually abused by Epstein.

Hot on the heels of yet another woman coming forward with photographic evidence that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo kissed her without consent, the Cuomo administration has responded, “Look over there!”

Boris Johnson, somehow the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, has spent decades carefully curating a bumbling and disheveled image as an effective visual trick to obscure the utter inhumanity of his policies (and the poshness of his pedigree). If the media is focusing on an unkempt shirt or hairdo that barely…
