To steal a line from the beloved MTV series “Real World,” what happens when people stop being polite, and start being real?

That’s a question that writer Brandy Ferner explores in her great piece, “The Milestone I Didn’t See Coming.” Tired of it all, Ferner, a mom, podcaster, and writer, shaved her head mid-pandemic and hasn’t looked back. Her piece is a testament to not giving a f*ck, to the importance of self-care and to being curious about society around you. It’s also just thoroughly enjoyable going on the journey with her.

I Need The Sex In Bridgerton — Even If I'm Too Tired For Bodice-Ripping Passion IRL

God, I love this piece by Jill Layton: I Need the Sex In Bridgerton Even If I Don't Want To Be Having Any In My Own Life. Curiosity piqued? Here’s a sample: “I’m desperate to once again live vicariously through the sex in Bridgerton because, right now, I don’t have the energy to do the sex myself. When the first season premiered at the height of the pandemic, it was my indulgent pick-me-up. (I’m assuming it was yours, too.) It was something to look forward to at the end of my day of homeschooling two toddlers, cleaning up my disaster of a house, preparing meals, taking my kids to the park, and then worrying that the kid who wasn’t wearing a mask infected our whole family — all while working a full-time job from home.”
