Trigger warning: This post contains description of sexual assault. At this Thursday’s Oversight Committee hearing, Rep. Cori Bush shared a story she’d kept fairly private until now: That as a teenager, she was raped, got pregnant, and chose to have an abortion. Bush was one of several congresswomen who testified about their personal abortion stories

Sarah Paulson is having an out-of-body experience.

For the first time in 18 months, Beanie Feldstein’s back in New York “for good,” and she’d like to state for the record that she’s thrilled about it.

Simone Biles could quit gymnastics forever, and no one would be in a position to fault her for it. She’d still be the most decorated gymnast in history, inarguably the best to ever practice her sport. She’d have the adoration and respect of millions, those of us who’ve cheered her rise against despicable traumas. We’ve

Unmarried people of faith don’t seem to get laid—at least not in commercial literature. Sure, there’s a peck on the cheek, or a meaningful smoldering glance, but more than that? Unlikely. And then, imagine the clouds opening up, a beam of light shining down upon Sally Rooney’s newest book. If you haven’t read Beautiful World,

Watching a talking cat and a teenage girl navigate the wacky ramifications of spells that make unpalatable lima beans disappear or stop the school bully from spreading lies might not seem like a fun Friday night for those growing up in the TikTok era.

Tony nominees Karen Olivo and Adrienne Warren know what they want—they’re artists with strong convictions. If you buy into racist and misogynistic ideals buried into the industry they worked tirelessly to be a part of, they will confront you head-on and invite you to put in the work to change. This is what they did

Dua Saleh is an activist, writer, and artist known for turning their poetry into lush lyricism that tackles issues like systemic racism and LGBTQ+ rights.
