Over the last week, Justin Timberlake has been the subject of much discussion for how he built and bolstered his career off of his mistreatment of his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears after their breakup (accusing her of cheating in “Cry Me a River,” etc.) and Super Bowl 2004 co-headliner Janet Jackson, after he exposed her nipple

If the fan theory machine churning at full blast is any indication, WandaVision—Marvel’s first serialized foray into the uncharted waters of streaming—is a massive hit. The show siphons the best parts of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (the adventure, the powers, the Easter eggs) and blends them with the completely original element of all-American sitcoms. Elizabeth
“I didn’t come this far to only come this far.” That’s the mindset that eventually convinced Simone Biles to keep training for the Tokyo Olympics even after they were postponed for a year, an unprecedented announcement that left the superstar gymnast depressed, she revealed in an interview with 60 Minutes airing Sunday, Feb. 14. “I

Trigger warning: The following story discusses eating disorders and disordered eating behavior.

She was in the shower when she first felt it. A lump where no woman ever wants to find one. Just below the armpit, near the side of the breast. It was uncomfortable to touch, and big—about the size of a golf ball. After drying off, she immediately texted her doctor: I think I might

Last April, a few weeks into pandemic lockdown, a strange phenomenon occurred. Friends and acquaintances messaged me to say they, in so many words, “finally understood what my life was like.” I didn’t know how to respond to those messages then, but I think I do now. See, I’m chronically ill. I live with Crohn’s,
We can’t stop, won’t stop watching every NCAA gymnastics floor routine that hits the internet (every. single. one.), and we’ve been waiting for Margzetta Frazier’s since the start of the season.

It’s hard to imagine a world in which leaving the house without a mask was the norm. Like it or not, we’ll be wearing masks for the foreseeable future, and it’s vital that they fit properly in order to slow the spread of COVID-19. But what exactly does a “proper fit” mean, and how do
When I was a kid, I always had pain in my life. I remember having to sit cross-legged in Girl Scouts and having intense pain around my knees and hips from it. I couldn’t understand why, but I knew I was uncomfortable much more than other people my age. In middle school, I played volleyball
