Minding the Gap has all of the skate culture clout that makes you feel sick when you watch Kids, but doesn’t let audiences dodge the class conflict that is the bedrock of the sport.

I joke that I’ve got her all figured out, “Music taste is the easiest way for me to assess character. Every song played tells a story.” She laughs. “It’s kinda like a nosy thing, isn’t it?"

I first learned of the Erotic Blueprints™ on the news. Er, I mean TikTok. It was 11:38pm on a Tuesday night (what, like I wasn’t going to screenshot this discovery?).

Legend has it, if you put your ear to the page of the Webster’s Dictionary that reads “experimental,” Nina Kraviz’s imperfectl production faintly pulses from the corner bearing the definition.

A proper night out is something of an artform for the two of us– doing it right comes with rules, lessons, and risks. “I’m really sensitive at after-parties,” he confesses.

Gellaitry’s last project, Viewfinder Vol. 1: Phosphene, dropped in April of 2019. There was a US tour that followed and then, for months on end, fans have been teased and appeased.

Last Sunday started off like any other “I’m a senior in college” Sunday. Anxious about a thesis that wasn’t there yet. Hungover. I did feel pretty good about the sex I had the other night.

How do you ensure your Gen Z melodrama receives the coveted description of being realistic? One Cup of Sexual Misconduct. Two Teaspoons of Woke Psychobabble. Add social-media-runs-and-ruins-our-lives.

Walking through the converted barn I’m swallowed by memories. 1960s LIFE magazines wrapped in protective plastic blanket tables. They sit next to an original copy of Nobody Knows My Name.

Hey Upper East Siders…are you ready for a volcano of fabricated diversity and female empowerment? Don’t worry, you’ll still get your precious real estate and couture porn, thanks to my new friends ove

Henry and Michael have the floppy brown hair and aloof playfulness that would make Simon Cowell and fifteen year old girls swoon with prospection.

In the video of me graduating from college, I look pissed off. That’s not entirely accurate. As I walk across the stage – pre-fake-diploma-recieval – I’m fine.

Some prefer to call it discomfort, feeling that pain is too harsh a term. Regardless, I noticed that pain, in some way shape or form, is always involved in casual penetrative sex.
