I’d heard of Lesléa Newman’s Heather Has Two Mommies long before I read it — after all, the book has been lauded and attacked, referenced and parodied, published and re-published. Heather Has Two Mommies was the first picture book to feature a same-sex family, and Newman is a successful lesbian author who has since penned dozens of children’s books, including many more on LGBTQ+ themes. Heather is such a well-known and groundbreaking book that its origin story has been many times before, so…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write So I Married a Werewolf? In an earlier book (Instant Mate) I created a tertiary character who needed a line, which meant she needed a name. I decided she was a drag queen wolf shifter named Bibi le Bonnet. It wasn’t long before my one line character was taking over things, so she got her own series. The Mating Game is like the old Dating Game, with shifters. Bibi is the host and fairy dragmother who is giving everyone a much needed life makeover. And finding a super hot…
Stephen “tWitch” Boss looks right at home doling out advice and critiques to performers on So You Think You Can Dance. Of course, he brings a lengthy dance background and a history with the show to that role — but he honed other skills during his time as a fill-in host on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which recently wrapped after 19 seasons. Boss spoke to TV Insider after taping last night’s “absolutely incredible” episode in which all 12 contestants made it through to next week. (What better way to celebrate SYTYCD’s 300th installment?) “I met Ellen from doing this show.…
Fiction Power on Trial In a future where people hold the perpetrators of the climate crisis to account, what has changed? Denial: A Novelby Jon RaymondSimon & Schuster, 2022 ($26) Writing science fiction is often a form of activism. The act of writing fiction generally can be said to spring from a place of hope—a celebration of what’s best in us, an attempt to imagine a less terrible reality. But most genres lack the audacity to scrap the rules of physics and technology to create worlds where the seemingly intractable problems of today can be solved or transformed so dramatically that…
Backgrid; Courtesy of YSL; The Image Direct To be frank, any accessory that’s been worn by the likes of Zoë Kravitz, Hailey Bieber, Miley Cyrus, and Sydney Sweeney doesn’t require any further convincing. Their endorsements alone are enough to give said item top billing on my wish list. This season, that item is the Icare maxi shopping bag by Saint Laurent, which has also not-so-coincidentally been spotted on the arms of Laura Harrier and Gracie Abrams. The tote is indeed maxi—spacious enough for all the usual handbag suspects with room to spare. And it’s debuting just in time, as this…

Spiritbox have surprise-released a new three-song collection titled Rotoscope, while unveiling the music video for the title track. You can stream all three tracks now. The title cut sees Spiritbox embracing a more industrial metal sound. The pulsing beats and crunchy, syncopated riffs have a danceable quality, with frontwoman Courtney LaPlante going full melodic-pop on the vocals. But the clean singing dissipates on the chorus — a nu-metal explosion that’s wholly unexpected. The Max Moore-directed video showcases the intensity of LaPlante’s performance on the track. The release also includes two additional tracks, “Sew Me Up” and “Hysteria.” The former is a…

R&B superstar Brandy has partnered with Motown Records with plans to release a new album soon, the company tells Billboard. “I’ve always wanted to work with Ethiopia [Habtemariam, Motown’s CEO and chairwoman],” says Brandy. “I’ve just always thought that she was just a bad-ass Black woman who loves music, knows music, and I saw her work her way up because she’s so talented. So when I heard that she was who she is now at Motown, I was like, ‘If I ever were to go back to a major label, I would want to work with Ethiopia.’ And it happened.”…
Credit: Shutterstock Even with plenty of fish in the sea, sea dragons stand out from the crowd. The funky, fabulous fish are bedecked with ruffly leaf-like adornments. Their spines are kinked. They’re missing their ribs and their teeth. And the responsibility of pregnancy is taken on by the males. By sequencing the genomes of two species of sea dragons, University of Oregon (UO) researchers have found genetic clues to the fish’s distinctive features: They’re missing a key group of genes found in other vertebrates. Those genes help direct the development of the face, teeth and appendages, as well as parts…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Marigold Chemise? I wanted to be a fashion designer when I was growing up but ended up working in health care for many years.

It was a time in my life that I felt most alive. The images and feelings remain vivid, almost magical. One day, I had the idea to create a novel that follows a garment through a…

As race season approaches, many runners have the same goal: go faster. But in a study publishing April 28 in the journal Current Biology, researchersshow that speeding up might require defying our natural biology. By combining data from runners monitored in a lab along with 37,000 runs recorded on wearable fitness trackers, scientists have found that humans’ natural tendency is to run at a speed that conserves caloric loss — something that racers seeking to shave time off their miles will have to overcome. The research group, composed of scientists from Queens University in Ontario and Stanford University in California,…

As climate change warms the planet, glaciers are melting faster, and scientists fear that many will collapse by the end of the century, drastically raising sea level and inundating coastal cities and island nations. A University of California, Berkeley, scientist has now created an improved model of glacial movement that could help pinpoint those glaciers in the Arctic and Antarctic most likely to rapidly slide downhill and fall into the ocean. The new model, published last week in the journal The Cryosphere, incorporates the effects of meltwater that percolates to the base of a glacier and lubricates its downhill flow.…
