If there are two categories of clothing I’m the pickiest about when shopping, it’s shoe and bags. So when my aunt asked me to help choose a bag for her from Anthropologie’s sale section, I was flattered—especially since her taste is so different from mine. She gravitates towards bold, patterned, colorful designs, while I tend to go for more understated, chic styles.Since she loves going on beach trips, her criteria were that she wanted something she could carry through the end of summer as well as on warm-weather vacations.While I was scrolling, I noticed that until the end of today,…

Hell’s Heart by Alexis Hall (March 26, 2026) The successor to Gideon the Ninth‘s “lesbian necromancers in space” tagline is here: this is “sapphic Moby Dick in space!” You likely know Alexis Hall from their queer romances, like Boyfriend Material and A Lady for a Duke, and this is their sci-fi debut. As you’d expect from that tagline, it follows someone hunting down a space monster. In this post-Earth universe, they rely on these creatures for fuel. I’ll just quote author Ruthanna Emrys’s review: “This is Hall’s best, weirdest, and most snarkily delightful book yet. Whether you like even-more-queer Moby Dick retellings,…

My partner and I headed from the suburbs into the city to attend a 40th anniversary screening of My Beautiful Laundrette, a film neither of us had seen despite always intending to. Directed by Stephen Frears and written by Hanif Kureishi, this TV-movie-turned-sleeper-success is considered by many to be a cult classic and an early paragon of queer representation, meaning it necessarily carries the burden of fixed opinions and critical interpretations. It seemed there was no room to think about it for ourselves, so we put it off until it appeared at the cinematheque.  What surprised me most about the film, which I’d assumed centred…

Is that gravitational wave signal coming from a black hole, or something even stranger?titoOnz / Alamy Exotic viscous stars could reflect ripples of space-time, mimicking the signals we observe from black holes. Since 2015, researchers have been learning how to see the contents of the universe by tracking not just light waves but also gravitational waves: ripples in the fabric of the universe. Jaime Redondo–Yuste at the Niels Bohr Institute in Denmark and his colleagues have now shown that, like waves of light, gravitational waves can be reflected – but only off odd stars with an unusually viscous texture.

Before watching certain films, sensitive moviegoers will often prepare themselves by Googling, “Does the dog die?”It’s so common a query that a whole website exists based on the phrase, meant to warn viewers of various potential triggers for entertainment media, particularly whether or not the adorable pet in any given film makes it to the end unscathed. But what if we asked instead: “Does the dog see dead people?”An inventive new horror movie due in theaters later this fall flips the haunted house narrative on its head, telling its spooky tale not from the haunted homeowner’s perspective but rather their…
