In 2006, I started taking Xanax and continued, more rather than less, for the next 17 years. The drug was first prescribed to me after I experienced a panic attack. I had thought that I was dying. My children were two and six years old. We were at home—my husband had gone for the day and the babysitter was late. I started sweating and had this urge to run, to get outside. I didn’t know what was wrong, but my heart felt weird and I didn’t want to die in front of my kids. So I stuffed them in a stroller and went down to the street—West 106th in Manhattan—hoping to intercept the sitter. There she was in the lobby. She took the children. I didn’t explain. On the street, the noises were loud, the light galactic. I think it was summer. I was walking but had no idea where I was going. Fear crawled over me like ants.

There is a certain type of person for whom Gracie Abrams has it all: a friendship with Taylor Swift, a sensible cardigan, and a reported dalliance with Paul Mescal. The 24-year-old musician was last month spotted sharing small plates with the Irish man at east London’s Brat restaurant. He at one point grazed her cheek with the back of his hand, and so people went online and started posting things like: “Me when I realize I’m not an indie singer songwriter so Paul Mescal won’t give me a chance,” in reference to his erstwhile relationship with Phoebe Bridgers, and, “If I had a nickel for every time Paul Mescal dated an American singer who opened for Taylor Swift, I would have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice,” also in reference to his relationship with Bridgers.

In January 1811, Charles Deslondes, a slave living on a plantation in the German Coast Region of the Louisiana Territory led a small army of slaves in an uprising. Marching in military formation toward New Orleans, the army killed at least two people and burned plantation buildings and fields. Louisiana Militia ended the rebellion, which ultimately led to the brutal deaths and treatment of participants in the uprising and the tightening of Slave Codes.

Death Disclosure Laws and Property Disclosures in North Carolina. In North Carolina, there is no legal obligation for homeowners or real estate agents to disclose if a death has occurred in a home, whether by natural causes, murder, or suicide.

People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Thanks to their “back to school” associations, loafers were once considered a winter shoe that you revisited in September, when knitwear comes out of hibernation.

The spring 2024 collections were awash with loafers, including creative director Sabato de Sarno’s debut at Gucci which had 25 platformed loafers in the line-up.

Mariah Kennedy Cuomo and Tellef Lundevall’s romance all started with a college visit. The two first crossed paths in 2012 after Tellef developed a close friendship with two of Mariah’s cousins, Kate Kennedy and Amanda Cole, while they were studying together at Brown University. “The three of them bonded over their shared characteristics,” Mariah explains. “They’re all funny, kind, thoughtful, creative, and game.” Mariah and Tellef first met at her cousin’s apartment on Angell Street in Providence while she was visiting the college as a prospective student during her final year at Deerfield Academy. “That visit cemented that Brown was the right choice for me,” Mariah remembers. “And I also left very interested in Tellef.”
