A Guide to Modern Living: Be More Like Elliott Gould in the 1970s
 
Jason Diamond has a list he calls, "Punk but not punk rock." It's a handful people that likely never had a mohawk, don't know Black Flag or why they should pick a favorite singer from the band's history, and lack any questionable tattoos they maybe got done in a squat. They're on this list because their desire to do their own thing, while giving zero fucks, is eclipsed only by their talent and output. The list of weirdos, non-conformists, and other assorted geniuses includes the Marx Brothers, Carrie Fisher, Miles Davis, anybody involved with Mad magazine, Dorothy Parker, James Baldwin, and, especially, Elliott Gould. The way Gould has lived his life, and presented himself on screen, specifically in the 1970s, is a blueprint for surviving—and, possibly, thriving—in 2021. Read More

The Many Britneys I Met When I Worked at a Reproductive Health Clinic

The world watched breathlessly as the pop star, who very clearly appeared to be in crisis, took a pair of clippers to her own head inside a tattoo parlor, and responded to her anguish with glee instead of empathy or even concern. A tattoo artist who was present that night later recounted hearing Spears say, by way of explanation: "I just don't want anybody, anybody touching my head. I don't want anyone touching my hair. I'm sick of people touching my hair." Here, Hannah Matthews writes that what happened to Britney Spears happens, in some form, to American women every day. Read More
