Weekly Horoscope: June 30 - July 6
When direct, this faraway planet governs areas of our lives that require discipline and perseverance. Saturn dictates our boundaries, challenges, and tough love—consider it our celestial “disciplinarian” parent.

Miss Kaninna Will Ruffle Feathers. Get Used to It.
Miss Kaninna is not to be fucked with. Her ethos as an R&B and hip-hop artist and a proud Yorta Yorta, Dja Dja Wurrung, Kalkadoon and Yirendali woman is to speak freely, protect her peace and make those in charge of oppressive systems eat it. On the funk-infused ‘Blak Britney’,...
The True Story Behind Ghana’s Viral Coffin Dancers
Ghana’s dancing pallbearers are iconic, wearing black suits, sunglasses, and cool expressions as they bounce a coffin up and down with an almost joyful detachment. But what might strike some as an insensitive act has also shifted how some people worldwide view grief. Is grief mourning who we lost, celebrating who we had, or a mix of the two?
How Serving in Afghanistan Left Me With PTSD
But by the time of the U.S.’s sudden, chaotic withdrawal from the country in August 2021—following a 20-year conflict that cost an estimated 176,000 lives—it was clear that the war had ultimately been a costly exercise in futility. Significantly, that was a conclusion that had been reached much earlier by many of the soldiers who had risked their lives in its name.
Predicting Brewdog’s Next Five PR Disasters
For 16 years, Brewdog has been making decent, expensive beer for people who can’t quite bring themselves to drink Kronenbourg like everyone else. Yet in that time, just through the course of selling drinks, the company has somehow managed to get itself variously accused of abusing staff, threatening small businesses, misogyny, homophobia, and animal cruelty.
I Tried This Canned Espresso Martini (as a Former Bartender)
I’m old enough to remember a time when ordering an espresso martini would have seemed like a joke. A few years back, I was a bartender in a touristy seafood restaurant in San Francisco, shamefully shaking up what I deemed the tackiest cocktails imaginable for a clientele unworthy of such a mixologist as myself. I made plenty of lemon drops and certainly my fair share of cosmos—but I probably only whipped up enough espresso martinis to count on one hand.
Ten Weird, Iconic Photos That Capture the Messy Essence of Glastonbury
Every June, hundreds of thousands of people pile into cars, buses, trains, and planes to make the pilgrimage to Glastonbury festival. For more than 50 years, it’s been a week-long insanity farm for music lovers of every tribe. A place where you can drink warm lager and dab dodgy MDMA, then lose yourself in some sort of murky hobbit den filled with sculptures made from car exhausts while a DJ in a top hat plays electro swing.

Citing influences from Afrofuturism and the Renaissance, we sat down with Serwah to chat about her journey so far and how she created the cover art for Tones & I, Young Franco, and CHAII.
I Tried Getting A Vape Prescription and Was Prescribed Star Jumps Instead
My 2024 Wishlist included Botox, a taser, and a government-issued vape. This week, nearing the end of my 13th “my last vape I will ever purchase”, I decided to conquer the easiest and cheapest of my wishes. Arielle Richards. By government-issued vape I mean a prescription vape and...
The Best Women’s Pajamas for Every Snooze Scenario
Think about everything we do in bed: sleep, read, have sex, doom scroll, binge-watch Love on the Spectrum, wipe Cheetos dust on our comforters. With the rise of remote work, a lot of us work from bed, too (hi). The only thing that can make all of this bedtime better...
Nostalgic Photos from the Set of a Wild 2003 Porn Reality Show
The show was called Pornstar Academie and photographer Naomi Harris was sent on an assignment to Montreal to document the exploits of these randy amateurs in a series of intimate, behind-the-scenes images. The French-Canadian contestants—whittled down from 700 applicants—spent their time live-chatting with viewers (who had to pay $35 to...
Introducing: The Streetwear Psycho
So here he comes: all 6-feet-0, 33 years of him, dressed in a lavish semaphore of painfully scarce Off White. He is turning the corner—both literally, nearing West Street, or Brewer Street, or Oranienstraße—and also metaphorically, because this will be his most grailed and consequential drop yet. Today, it’s Corteiz. But last month, last year, last decade: Wales Bonner, Cactus Jack’s, Salehe x Bembury Moncler.
