"We are not trees. If you don't feel good somewhere, move," Josh tells us during our conversation. Now it’s a simple sentence, but one that quietly runs through everything Josh and Sarah create. Whether it's leaving behind careers that no longer fit, refusing to force a particular sound, or allowing each song to become whatever it wants to be, Pamela's music is rooted in instinct rather than expectation. With their new EP, It's Nice to See You Here, out today, we spoke about

My mother is one of the most beautiful women I know. Yet my whole life, she has insisted that she “looks horrible.” Taking candid photos of her or even a selfie together always turns into a battle, with my mother either pushing the camera away or fluffing up her hair while saying, “God, I look terrible." Nothing makes my blood boil more than hearing her say those words. Every time she protests a gorgeous photo of herself sent in the family group chat, I am reminded of how dee

"Does what I'm saying actually matter?" It's the question Didoriot asks herself before publishing a video, and perhaps it's the reason her work resonates with so many people. At a time when the internet often rewards speed over substance, her essays pause to examine the cultural shifts hiding beneath the headlines, from AI and the future of work to female loneliness, internet aesthetics, and the identities we're constantly being encouraged to perform. We sat down with Didorio

Let me start with a simple truth: I have never been more proud of women than I am today. This is not another essay about “empowering women.” It is a profound, conscious appreciation born from my own observations of the women in my life and those around me. The rise of the spiritual woman is unfolding right here, right now, in its most authentic modern form. Collectively, feminine energy is proud of itself; not in an ego-driven or superficial way, nor from the wounds of the pa

@amedeo_iasci says modern dating has left men too frightened to approach women, too distracted by porn and too obsessed with performing to form real connections. The result is a dating culture that feels miserable for women and remarkably easy for the few men who still know how to talk to them. Around 58 minutes into what was supposed to be a 40-minute (tops!) interview, Amedeo and I were discussing the importance of natural scent in sexual attraction… By that point, we had a

In an era of situationships, casual encounters, and the constant pressure between “getting married quickly” and “not getting married at all,” it sometimes feels like the conversation about first love has quietly disappeared. As if it has become something outdated, almost irrelevant; something we've outgrown. And yet, sometimes, to understand who we are becoming, we have to look back. We have to remember what it was like to love for the very first time. When you're fifteen and

I've always been financially responsible. I meticulously budget, plan my life carefully, and always set money aside for those famous "emergencies." But over the years, I've realised there is one emergency where I lose my grip the most; one no budget can prepare you for. I wake up one morning after a break-up and suddenly find my bank account nearly empty. It seems there is a serious "Break-Up Economy" that none of us ever account for. We don't just make emotional investments

I finally woke up and realised what had been missing all along, and it was me. Not a better version of me, nor the version that had it all together. Just me, unfinished and full, right here. I had been yearning for myself all along without realising. This is for the ones who've been searching in all the wrong places, and for the ones who didn't even know they were searching. We grew up in a culture that taught us to source everything outward, looking for our worth in who want

There is something quietly radical about hearing one of the most celebrated creative directors in fashion admit that he thought he had finally "cracked the formula." Not because he was wrong, but because we've all been taught to believe that finding the formula is the goal. More than ever we are obsessed with systems. There is a blueprint for everything now; how to build a personal brand, how to write a bestseller, how to make a viral reel, how to launch a business, and even

They say Hollywood is dying. The articles and Instagram carousels keep arriving, mapping the transition: tech conglomerates owning studios, monopolistic mergers, mandate-driven development, fewer sales, lower production value, AI, productions fleeing, and on and on. The industry that once promised the most original work would rise to the top; that opportunity was endless, that anyone had a shot; looks nothing like what we have now. With so much we are willing to change, it se

I was sitting in a not particularly good bar in Naples when I overheard the men at the table next to me talking about some woman named Irina from Novorossiysk, or maybe another city in southern Russia that they referred to as "a cheap Sorrento." They discussed Irina from a distinctly male perspective, then moved on to a film they had watched together, praising what they called its incredible editing, before eventually returning to the subject of sex. And it made me wonder: di

While we’re busy trying to explain our bodies to men, showing them where and how to touch us, our bodies have apparently already invented their own way of experiencing pleasure without any sexual contact. And I’m not talking about tantric sex or deep hypnosis. Today’s conversation is about the infamous and universally loved Reformer Pilates for IT girls. After once again deciding to start a new life on Monday, I signed up for Reformer Pilates for the first time in my life. Be

At some point in adulthood, you realise that becoming someone new is less exhilarating than advertised. It is mostly paperwork. It is changing your email signature. It is introducing yourself differently at parties. It is watching people continue speaking to a version of you that quietly stopped existing months ago. I regret to inform you: I have changed. Not in the cinematic way people celebrate online. There was no dramatic haircut, no solo trip to Europe, no montage scored

Based in central Porto, Portugal, there's a beautiful historic bookshop called Livraria Lello, where Dua Lipa and her book club, Service95, have just co-opened a new manifesto library dedicated to banned books and authors who were once silenced. The manifesto library includes 100 contemporary books that challenged society. It features works about power, censorship, politics, and books that were once considered too controversial for readers. According to Service95's newsletter

Why millions of young men are searching for meaning, connection, and belonging - and why voices like @hanny_ab are resonating right now. There is a strange contradiction at the center of modern life; We have never been more connected, and yet so many people have never felt more alone. We carry entire social worlds in our pockets. We know where old classmates vacation, what our colleagues ate for breakfast, and who just got engaged despite not having spoken to them in years. W
