A close cousin of “moist” in my book, “ick” is a word that sounds a little gross to say—and that’s fitting for its definition in the context of relationships. The “ick,” which has become a trending concept on TikTok, refers to any kind of highly visceral turnoff or the experience of being repulsed by said […]
Knowledge may well be power, and when you’re incredibly informed (or at least think you are), you want to share your know-how with everyone in your presence. And what’s wrong with that? Well, when you steamroll every conversation with your know-it-all opinions, it’s a bad look that can come across as equal parts rude, pretentious, […]
During lockdown in Phoenix last year, Theo Grace Quest found herself thinking about her name. Theo identifies as nonbinary, and her given name is Grace, but she didn’t feel like it actually fit her. (“I’m not a graceful person,” she muses.) So, in a pandemic-imposed exile, she had the space to imagine a new name. […]
The morning after my most recent breakup from a serious relationship, I woke up, wiped off my mascara-stained face and wrote out advice for myself in list form.

But if you’ve ever met someone who seems to have taken up permanent residence on that pedestal, you may have an egotist on your […]
As a trans, nonbinary, agender person, navigating sex and pleasure is often challenging. That’s in large part a reflection of the lacking sex education young people get (if they get any at all) and patriarchal perspectives about sex and dating that center the cisgender, heterosexual experience. An effect of this landscape is that many cisgender […]
If you’re in a committed relationship and never argue with your partner, well, congratulations, you magnificent Love Unicorn. For the rest of us, knowing how to navigate conflict effectively, respectfully, and productively is crucial for long-term relationship health because arguments are pretty inevitable. And there’s certainly more than one way to go about that: As […]
You’re up early for a workout, working all day, and by the time you’ve made dinner and gotten yourself ready for the next day, you’re probably ready to crash. So even the thought of weekday sex? LOL. Who has time for that? Even if you’re in a committed relationship or you live with your partner, […]
Gold-medal-worthy friends remember to ask about your big work presentation. They slide into your DMs and pick up the phone to chat with you and make plans for real face time (rather than mere FaceTime). Put simply, they gas you up. Then there are friends who are meh at best. According to one friendship expert, […]
