we need to talk about klimt’s kiss (opens the original)
Read excerpt
at this point, the kiss barely needs an introduction. even if you have never stood in front of it at the belvedere in vienna, you have probably met it somewhere else. maybe behind a photo of a couple, on pinterest with a quote about soulmates written across it, on a phone case, a mug, a notebook, a poster. couples even pose in front of the painting and kiss, which feels almost inevitable when you think about it. somewhere along the way, gustav klimt’s the kiss stopped being simply a famous paint
mythology's worst boyfriends, ranked (opens the original)
Read excerpt
one of my favorite things about mythology is how the same stories become completely different as you get older. when i was a kid, gods splitting the sky open, controlling the seas, turning into whatever they wanted, or transforming people into trees whenever they got angry genuinely felt like god behavior. who was married to whom, who cheated on whom, why a god had suddenly decided to interfere with some mortal woman’s life... none of that was nearly as interesting as zeus walking around with a

unfortunately, we love a yearner (opens the original)
Read excerpt
i’m not sure when it happened, but we seem to have developed a collective weakness for people who refuse to say how they feel. the ones who can never quite reach each other, who would rather bring an entire room to a standstill with a single glance than simply admit what’s going on inside their heads, who could wait years for the smallest touch and somehow turn loving someone from afar into an art form.yes, i’m talking about the archetype that seems to have taken over pop culture lately: the yea
