Started by artist Isabella Toledo and graphic designer Rosie Eveleigh, ButchCamp is an Instagram project launched in 2016 that identifies the lesbian camp aesthetic, which has generally been absent from theories on camp. Ahead of the Met Gala, No Man’s Land commissioned a manifesto to run alongside a photo story created by photographer June Canedo and stylist […]
In “Both Sides of a Breakup,” the Cut talks to exes about how they got together and why they split up. Lena and Joe, both 42, knew each other from high school and reunited as adults, each with their own grown-up baggage. Lena: Joe and I went to high school together in New Jersey and […]
Have you seen the new Heckboy? I hear it’s really good. (Or, well, Rotten Tomatoes and Vulture actually says it’s really bad. But we all have a right to our own opinions.) Granted, I have never been particularly into demon-superhero action blockbusters or their widely panned reboots, but for Heckboy, I will make an exception. […]
A little-known fact about presidents: They like to collect things. Thomas Jefferson, for example, reportedly collected mastodon bones, Teddy Roosevelt collected taxidermic animals he killed himself, Barack Obama collects comic books, Donald Trump collects rage tweets.

First in winter, because it’s winter, and then even colder starting in April, when the air conditioning is set to approximately the same temperature as your average meat locker. To cope with the punishing Tundra, you may have a desk blanket, several sweaters stuffed […]
Have you ever had the experience of telling someone about something that happened, and then they say, “I know, I was there”? That’s embarrassing. I’m personally more often on the other side of the conversation, to be honest. In fact, I once had a job for several months during which I spoke to no one, […]
They say, if you can dream it, you can do it. I’ve often dreamed about living inside the warm, safe insides of a potato, away from the ills of a hard and unforgiving world. And thanks to an Airbnb host named Kristie, who listed a giant potato hotel sitting in the middle of 400 acres […]
