I’ve never really thought I have “good” skin, the kind you see in the “after” photos on skincare commercials.
My skin is on the oilier side, and I get some hormonal acne on my jawline. But, for the most part, I’ve come to the conclusion that my skin is fine.
I also started testosterone this week — a hormone-replacement therapy used to treat gender dysphoria in trans and nonbinary people. …

Back in May, Elijah Zorn lay in his incubator, all 3.8 pounds of him, a ventilator mechanically inflating his tiny chest. He was six weeks premature and had suffered a lack of oxygen to his brain at birth. He was airlifted from one hospital to another in critical condition. No one knew if he would survive.
Beside him sat Jeremy, his exhausted father. Elijah’s mother, Riannon, was miles away, recovering at home after a…

Hillary Dole’s first Toque Friday ended with a broken nose and a bloody face.
The event, she told Insider, was an annual tradition for the Cornell University softball team when she joined as a freshman in 2017.

“It was confusing, chaotic, intimidating, and I didn’t…

By Frank Olito and Canela López
Just after midnight on a warm summer night in 1969, police raided the Stonewall Inn, a popular gay bar in New York City.
Homosexual acts were illegal in the city at the time, and officers started arresting LGBTQ patrons. But Black and Latinx transgender leaders, including Marsha P. Johnson and Silvia Rivera, fought back, throwing bottles at the police. It sparked a riot — and the Gay Rights Movement.

CrossFit athlete Noah Ohlsen is a top ranking competitor and relies on lean protein and carbohydrates to recover from his intense training.
Noah Ohlsen’s motto is simple: “happy, but hungry.”
“You need to love what you do for it to be sustainable, but you have to keep pushing to get those results, too,” Ohlsen told Insider in an interview coordinated by the recovery tech brand Whoop, chatting on the phone while waist-deep in the pool on one of his rest days.

Maintaining a routine, even an unhealthy one, is key to longevity, a new book argues. Centenarians have sworn by daily whiskey, tobacco, and bacon.
For her 106th birthday, which was also her last, Elizabeth Sullivan received a gift basket stuffed with Dr. Pepper cans and a cake shaped like the soda from Dr. Pepper’s parent company itself.
The brand owed her. For years and maybe decades, Sullivan, a retired math teacher in Fort Worth, Texas, drank three cans of Dr. Pepper daily.
“People try to give me coffee for breakfast. Well, I’d rather have a Dr…

While their parents are supportive now, it wasn’t the case when they first came out as queer when they were 13 years old.

Moore told Insider that, despite…

By Erin Heger
It’s normal to have fat on your body, and it’s nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed by. In fact, body fat is crucial for our health — it protects our organs, insulates us, and stores energy. However, too much body fat has been linked to heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic health conditions.
