May I Recommend Being in Your Slut Era and Not Having Sex?
I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t a slut. And by that I mean an unapologetic sex-haver in regular pursuit of pleasure. Most of my adulthood has been rhythmic app swiping, dates, and hookups as fun, casual pastimes. I relished not putting too much pressure on any of it to be perfect and amazing, and I was always deliberate about my sexual choices. I felt so free in my sluttiness. Until the pandemic brought a swift change of pace.
Living with severe chronic depression, especially during a global emergency, made it impossible for me to prioritize sex. I had a super-finite energy supply and little motivation, and getting through all the steps that eventually lead to sex took so much effort.

The Year of Latto
AT JUST 24, THE INIMITABLE RAP QUEEN HAS TAKEN OVER THE MUSIC WORLD WITH A CONTAGIOUS CONFIDENCE THAT’S MORE THAN SKIN-DEEP. IT’S HARD-WON AND UNWAVERING, AND SHE WANTS YOU TO FEEL IT TOO.
I’ve got to make sure the following is added to my eulogy: Julee’s soaring journalism career included interviewing hip-hop icon Latto for a cover story while both women lay naked, side by side, getting a couples massage at the famed Hôtel Barrière Fouquet’s in New York City.
No cap. But let me back up: Less than 24 hours prior to this historic event, one of us (not me) was already nearly naked on the set of this very photo shoot, slipping in and out of skintight gowns, body stockings, and a stunning bespoke Chrishabana chrome breastplate with a level of “it’s givin’ bad bitch” that the world has come to crave from her.

COSPLAYING THE MOMMY WARS
A niche internet community devoted to lifelike baby dolls has become a surreal hotbed of ideological debate. Here, a peek at the trouble brewing in uncanny valley.
Getting hit with severe COVID-19 should have been the most stressful thing to happen to Kiersten Haley last January. In a feverish fog, the 28-year-old military vet could think of little else besides fighting off the virus—even as she was at the center of a separate raging war. The latter was happening on TikTok, with hundreds of strangers swarming her account, denouncing her as selfish, telling her she deserved the hate flooding her comments (“You should be ashamed!!! ASHAMED!!!!”). As she physically recovered enough to read them, emotionally her brain was on fire. How were so many people this worked up about her “parenting” choices?
Kiersten is a mother not to human children but to dolls—specifically “reborn” dolls, a specialized class of hyperrealistic faux babies that inspire spooked curiosity in casual…
