Giving body parts away is categorically one of the kindest things one human being can do for another. Paying travel costs and time off work in addition to becoming one uterus lighter crosses into sainthood territory. A Pennsylvania neonatal intensive care nurse has done just that, flying to Dallas on her own dime and…

Yesterday all our hearts and hopes were set aflutter with the idea that a lonely Keanu Reeves might have half a sandwich waiting for just the right person to share it on a park bench.

It’s Friday, and we still don’t know who took Julianne’s chair.

It’s getting hotter and that means the possibility of summer flings is in the air.

Y: Cardi B, “Press” — Like others, I’ve been waiting on this full song since Cardi teased a snippet on Instagram.

An old and possibly racist saying states that in some cultures, there are over 50 words for “snow.” American English has at least as many words for ejaculate, most of which are gross.

“It used to be that when a 13-year-old wanted a binder for school, it meant a trip to Staples. For today’s tweens and teens who identify as gender-nonconforming or transgender, shopping for a binder may mean a compression undergarment worn to flatten breasts.” So begins a new, irresponsible piece in the New York…

First-time feature director Richard Miron said he was on the edge of his seat for much of the time he spent filming For the Birds. When he set out to document the story of Kathy Murphy, whose nearly 200 birds became the cause of animal-rights activists and led to a courtroom showdown, Miron wasn’t quite sure what…
