Thanks to Netflix series Unorthodox, religious trauma is a topic that’s fresh on people’s minds, even if we haven’t identified the show’s takeaway message in that exact term.

Our woman crush this week is model Lucy Gebert, whose otherworldly beauty makes her a standout in the fashion world.

She was…

There’s no right way to quarantine. Some of you are spending your time looking at online museum tours while others are making it their life mission to make “Carole Baskin killed her husband” the new “Epstein didn’t kill himself.” We feel morally compelled to remind you, however, that our music…
Some of the greatest art throughout history has sprouted from shaky grounds in tumultuous times. While some of us are overeating or learning how to cook or working on beautifying our yards, North Texas artists are finding ways to channel their stress into their art and make good use of…

After teasing their collaboration for months on social media, Leon Bridges finally released his new song featuring John Mayer at midnight this Friday. The slow-simmering R&B track is called “Inside Friend,” and like the name suggests, makes a choice soundtrack to a national mood: quarantine and chill. In the single,…
In her last collection of paintings, called “Reveries,” Jana Renee captured the hazy serenity of her sleeping female subjects. One woman, generously tattooed, slumped over a sofa above a sea of clouds, while another lay like a napping Alice dreaming on a field, encircled by white flowers. A sense of…
Remember when we used to go through a calculated Rolodex of excuses to get out of social events? Anyone else long for the days of having to make obligatory cameos, like that awkward baby shower for Nancy from accounting? As it turns out, being at home isn’t that exciting, and…

The stay-at-home life isn’t exactly like jail. We can take walks, shop online, call whomever we want, have conjugal visits, Netflix until our brains fry and watch real prisoners on the screen, who have it much worse. No matter how necessary, complying with the stay-at-home order feels like a very…
Remy Reilly is used to pouring her soul into subjects that she hasn’t experienced directly. Her first EP, released in 2018, was heavy on love songs about imagined relationships.

There are two reasons we’re celebrating Bayleigh Cheek today: First, we are eternally crushing on the musician’s sophisticated brand of psych indie rock and deeply wounding vocals, and it also happened to be her birthday yesterday. Cheek is on the path to becoming just as iconic as the same powerhouse singers that…
In 2017, Jessica Serna started the travel blog My Curly Adventures after returning from a monthslong trip to Spain, where she hopped around the old continent in search of its best food and fashion. Serna is used to staying close by; she’s big on Texas road trips, where she seeks…
