Adolescent sexuality has, historically, rarely been treated with care on big or small screens. But in more recent years popular teen shows, ranging from the rebooted Gossip Girl to Riverdale, are increasingly depicting sex as an empowering experience for young women and teen girls. And while it’s a step up from the…

There is a war waging on right now, one that you might not even be aware of. Most mainstream news outlets aren’t covering it. Twitter, despite thinking of itself as the preeminent battleground of social justice warriors, has been embarrassingly silent. But in Los Angeles, a chihuahua named Pilaf and a newborn baby…

I’ve always been a consistently sporadic gym go-er. Over the last decade, I’ve been a member at a handful of community center fitness programs and some $10-per-month commercial gyms. My monthly fees have rarely, if never, surpassed the cost of a Sweetgreen salad. During good months, I’m going twice or three times a…

How do you open a story about the death of Pat Robertson, a right-wing Christian media mogul who used his platform to blame 9/11 on gay people? “Ding dong the witch is dead?” No, that’s rude to Elphaba, whose misplaced anger at Dorothy makes sense if you give it a minute. We could turn to the Book of Proverbs, but…

I hate to invoke the term “Lohanaissance” in earnest, but Lindsay Lohan does actually seem to be in the final phases of her carefully hatched comeback tour, complete with a new profile in Allure.

Among the many inalienable rights the U.S. Constitution bestows upon us, there is arguably none more important than the right to vlog—or so says former Fox News star Tucker Carlson’s legal team, amid an escalating feud between Carlson and his former network.

There’s a question that awaits every survivor of sexual assault after they confront what’s happened to them. Actually, I know from experience that there are several, from obtuse (did you have too much to drink?) to just plain offensive (why didn’t you fight back?). But more often than not, one that’s somewhat more…

In a Thursday ruling that virtually no one saw coming, the Supreme Court has decided not to take another sledgehammer to voting rights.

I’ve always had a soft spot for the New Orleans Pelicans’ Zion Williamson, a seemingly shy, sweet 22-year-old who’s often been the subject of online bullying about his weight and frequent injuries over the course of his nascent but explosive NBA career. I was genuinely delighted to see his celebration for his…

The shittiest thing about being a card-carrying member of the Bravoverse is knowing—or at least, hearing rumors of—plot points in my beloved guilty pleasure shows before they ever air. No, it’s not having to defend my devotion to these silly little programs. It’s being let down 9/10 times because I—a 29-year-old…

On May 3, Oregon state Senate Republicans walked out of the Capitol and haven’t returned since, marking the longest walkout by lawmakers in the state’s prolific history of this happening. With the legislative session set to end in about two weeks, on June 25, Democrats fear hundreds of bills will be stalled until the…

During what sounded like it could have been an extremely dry hearing on corporate governance strategy on Tuesday, Vermont Rep. Becca Balint (D), the state’s first-ever openly gay representative, excoriated a former Trump administration official who was trying to make the hearing about Republicans’ favorite scapegoat…

In case you’re somehow existing on Mars, it looks like New York City residents are...well, also subsisting on an increasingly uninhabitable planet. Due to raging Canadian wildfires, the air in the Big Apple has been permeated by a thick smell of bonfire smoke and an even thicker haze, forcing residents to reach for…
