I like to think of myself as a friend to Mother Nature. I have a plastic-free home, I use charcoal filters in my water instead of a Brita, I switched my energy to solar and wind, and I buy my dog biodegradable poop bags. But I’m certainly not anywhere near as committed to nature and […]
I spent the holidays as many people across this great nation did — binge-watching the epically addictive and totally depressing Netflix docu-series, Making A Murderer. Twice. The 10-part documentary takes a hard look at the case of Steven Avery, a Wisconsin man who was falsely convicted in 1985 for rape and attempted murder — thanks, in part, […]
When I was 32, I started feeling something heavy in my stomach when I lay in bed at night. Something, I wasn’t sure what, pressing on my bladder. I knew I couldn’t be pregnant, since none of my recent dates had led anywhere special. I reasoned with myself. It was probably a urinary tract infection. I’d […]
I’m not sure when or in what context I first realized that I have long labia. Maybe it was that teasing comment from an ex boyfriend, oh, seven years ago. Maybe it occurred to me at some point when I was watching porn and noticed that mine looked different. Maybe it was in the shower, […]

There were the boys who were saving themselves for marriage. And there were the ones who learned about sex from my mother. A biological anthropologist, my mom taught Intro […]
A couple weeks after signing into law an unconstitutional 20-week abortion ban, Ohio Gov. John Kasich is back at it, signing into law yet another awful bill infringing on people’s rights. On Monday, Kasich banned Ohio cities from raising the minimum wage with the mere stroke of his pen. The bill was presented to him by […]
New York mag writer Liz Meriwether hilariously makes fun of white L.A. residents for adopting pets to cope with post-election America. Over the weekend, she observed an adoption shelter full of people adopting dogs and cats, which she contributes to the election results. Of course, she was there to adopt a dog too, but that’s […]
Earlier this week, The Washington Post conducted a poll looking at the presidential preferences of parents based on whether they exclusively have daughters, sons, or both. The results probably won’t surprise you a whole lot — parents with only daughters overwhelmingly support Hillary Clinton for president over Donald Trump. The numbers look something like this: Polled parents of just daughters […]
