I need the name of the TV exec who was like “actually, less sex”
last piece for the year! I spoke with author Rachel Reid and show runner Jacob Tierney about why & how Heated Rivalary became such a monster hit.

Spoiler: Jacob is really glad he didn’t listen to the exec who said the characters shouldn’t have sex until Season 2!

a semi-baffling decision given the show was something of a hit, but i will admit i did sort of see it as a self-contained story

we just went through a months-long cultural project where people lost their jobs for speaking ill of a dead man's politics

For @thecut.com, I wrote about how the once-secret world of cruising has never been more out in the open—online, at least—and what that might mean for the community.
