Jelly nail art has been all the rage this summer—decorating our fingers with a finish that’s part stained glass window, part squishy sandal throwback. There’s a nostalgic appeal to them we can’t get enough of, but the latest idea to arrive on our feeds might be even better. Enter fruit nails, which (like jelly nails) are a glossy, fun, and eye-catching.
There’s no single template for testing the trend, but we’re particularly enamored of New York nail artist Mei Kawajiri‘s take. Kawajiri recently shared the manicure she gave Gigi Hadid, involving a sheer base decorated with ultra-delicate kiwis, watermelons, and strawberries. “Summer vacation Nails no.2 is Fruits,” she declared in the image caption. Consider it the perfect way to celebrate the warmest days of the year.
Already, other nail artists have shown off all the ways you can mix and match the style on social media. You can do it Kawajiri’s way—with a natural base and dainty accents—or you can go for punchier neon colors that incorporate larger fruits and patterns. The possibilities are actually endless and there’s so much inspiration out there. Kawajiri even went on Instagram to show off tomato nails she did by painting teeny tiny tomato vines on a customer’s hand. Scroll through for a whole season’s worth of inspiration:
If you’re too busy to pop into the salon for a fresh serving of fruit nail art, you can still give yourself a DIY manicure at home with Olive & June’s fruit nail stickers. They have an adorable fruit salad mani kit that includes polish, top coat, and a set of decals for $22. Order up!
Once Netflix’s To All the Boys I Loved Before became a bonafide hit, the Internet had a field day meme-ifying it. There’s the one that poked fun at Lara Jean’s not-so-stealth attempt to hide from the guys who received her love letters, the shot of fans googling Noah Centineo’s age (guilty as charged), and the hundreds of tweets gushing about that hot tub scene. However, the meme that intrigued me the most had nothing to do with Peter Kavinsky: It was a mashup comparing Lara Jean’s dad, Dr. Covey, to Dr. Stratford, the father in 10 Things I Hate About You.
Specifically, the meme compares how Dr. Covey (John Corbett) and Dr. Stratford (Larry Miller), both widowed gynecologists, stumble through “the talk” with their teen daughters. On the surface, it’s an apt comparison; but if you look deeper, the juxtaposition exposes the divide between contemporary on-screen fathers with movie dads of yesteryear. Or, put more bluntly, they’re getting woke. (And hotter. Looking at you, Josh Duhamel.)
In 10 Things, for example, Dr. Stratford puts his daughter in a fat suit and warns her, “Every time you even think about kissing a boy I want you to picture wearing [a fake pregnant belly] under your halter top.” But Dr. Covey tries to have a thoughtful conversation with Lara Jean about her reproductive choices, telling her, “Did you know most unwanted teenage pregnancies are the result of expecting abstinence?”
Dr. Covey isn’t the only movie dad leaning into a more nuanced, emotionally available relationship with their teen this year. In the Oscar-nominated Call Me By Your Name Elio’s father, Professor Perlman (Michael Stuhlbarg), comforts his newly heartbroken son by delivering an epic monologue. “You had a beautiful friendship, maybe more than a friendship,” he says of Elio’s relationship with an older man. “I envy you. In my place, most parents would hope the whole thing goes away, to pray that their sons land on their feet. But I am not such a parent. In your place, if there is pain, nurse it.” Not only is Elio’s father understanding of his emotions, he tells him to revel in their messiness, to take in the pain.

In Love, Simon, the first major Hollywood studio film to focus on a gay teen romance, Simon also finds solace in his family. While his father—former leading man turned on-screen zaddy Josh Duhamel as Jack—isn’t quite as hip to his son’s sexual orientation as Stuhlbarg’s character, once Simon does come out to his dad, he’s distraught that he didn’t realize on his own. “[My character] is upset with himself for not paying closer attention,” Duhamel tells Glamour. “I can understand why he would feel guilty about that. That [Simon] felt that he had to hide from [his dad] for so long. That he wasn’t available to him to make him feel comfortable.” In the past, we might have applauded Duhamel’s character for so readily accepting his son’s sexuality; in 2018, though, he’s forced to grapple with why he was so blind to his son in the first place.

This trend doesn’t seem to be going anywhere, either. In The Hate U Give, out this October, protagonist Starr’s father, Maverick (Russell Hornsby), empowers her to become a champion for Black Lives Matter after witnessing a shooting at the hands of the police. “When you’re ready to talk, don’t ever let nobody make you be quiet,” he says at one point in the film.

Bo Burnham wrote and directed this summer’s Eighth Grade, which also features a dorky-cute single dad, Mark (Josh Hamilton), to a young teenage girl. Burnham is quick to acknowledge the uptick in good-guy fathers. “Good parents [were] kind of underrepresented in film [until now],” he says. “They don’t naturally lend themselves to drama as easily.”
But for Burnham, creating a well-intentioned father better reflected the parents he’s encountered in his life, including his own, than the distant fathers of the John Hughes era. “There’s probably slightly more of my mother in [Mark] than my father,” he says. “My mom would tell me I’m super cool all the time, but my dad was always in his boxers, shirtless, in my doorway, so that image [in the film] was certainly my father.”

Like Dr. Covey, Mark is constantly trying to get his daughter to let him in emotionally. This tension mirrors Burnham’s real-life experience. “My memories of fights with my parents were them trying to connect with me and me pushing them away,” he says, “rather than them not letting me listen to rock and roll music and me storming off into a quarry of whatever usually happens [in teen films].”
Similarly, Jenny Han, who wrote the novel To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before is based on, thinks Dr. Covey is much more representative of today’s dads—and modern, evolved men as a whole. “People are [talking] not just about Dr. Covey, but about Peter too,” she explains. “People appreciate [them] in a way where they’re noticing how thoughtful they are. There’s a general appreciation for these men who are kind and just a bit more sensitive than we’ve seen.” In other words, it’s their awareness and empathy that makes them both heartthrobs.

Han’s inspiration for the white wine drinking, cupcake making Dr. Covey actually came from a family she worked for during graduate school. “I was a nanny to a young teen who was an only child,” she says. “Her mom traveled a lot for work, so her dad did a lot of the day to day stuff. I was thinking about how caring he was and really attuned, just like Dr. Covey, [who is] the dad of three girls who lost their mom. He has his limitations, but we see him trying. You see him again and again try his best—not being perfect, but trying.”
That’s the other thing that unites these fathers. They might not always get it right—like in Eighth Grade, when Mark makes the misstep of following his daughter to the mall—but they never stop fighting to do better, to be closer to their kids. Whether it’s through having frank conversations about sexuality, or knowing when to take your daughter to her favorite diner (hat tip to Dr. Covey), these dads represent a whole new generation of fathers. They’re dads who aren’t afraid afraid to lean into the supportive space once reserved only for moms.
Maybe it’s my own daddy issues, or that the news cycle is a never-ending parade of garbage men making garbage choices, but these good male role models have become my escape. On the days when there aren’t any new photos of Barack Obama on vacation or Justin Trudeau doing anything, it’s a comfort to know I can turn on Netflix and bask in the nerdy fatherly wisdom of Dr. Covey. And for a moment, all will feel right in the world.

Kanye was, obviously, gathered up for his reductive remarks, first by TMZ Newsroom staffer Van Lathan, who told the rapper “I think what you’re doing right now is actually the absence of thought.”
It didn’t take long for Twitter to jump on board, highlighting the sheer absurdity of Kanye’s words in hilarious ways (let’s be real—Black Twitter can find a way to bring humor to almost any situation—I’m sure we’ll tweet through the apocalypse). Late Tuesday night the hashtag #IfSlaveryWasAChoice took over our Twitter feeds, and let’s just say, it’s the laugh we all needed. Behold:
West has since tried to clarify his statement by comparing himself to both Harriet Tubman and Nat Turner. We’ll just let you ponder that one.
Completely canceling Mr. West this week has been a tough pill to swallow, but it’s comforting to know that we can always count on Twitter to lessen the blow of our faves’ sorely disappointing us.
It’s unfortunate that the man who once took to national television to declare that “George Bush doesn’t like Black people” after Hurricane Katrina in 2006 is now blaming that same community for 400 years of oppression, and journalist and academic Marc Lamont Hill said it best when he joined the discussion last night: There has NEVER been a moment in history when Black people didn’t resist slavery.
The world of Instagram hair color trends can seem endless, but you have to hand it to the Internet for the sheer creativity involved with naming these colors: Take “mulled wine” hair or “cinnamon chocolate,” but if you’re looking for something fresh, it doesn’t get cooler than opal hair.
From the chill 18,931 tagged photos of “opal hair” on Instagram, the trend draws on everything good about the unicorn and mermaid trends that dominated 2017. Think a light, peachy color on a platinum base, mixed with silvery pinks and hints of ice blue.
If you went platinum last year and want to get the most out of it, opal hair’s loose mix of purple, pink, oranges, and blues is a gorgeous way to go. A quick scroll through the options proves that it’s endlessly customizable: Skew it more purple and you can go amethyst, while a heavier hand with the pastels takes you into a totally new look.
But as people with dark hair know, it’s tough to get those light, shimmering tints to show up on anything deeper than dirty blond. In response, some hairstylists have come up with a darker spin on the color, and dubbed it “opal-oil slick” hair.
Still, the one downside to opal hair is that if you don’t start out blond or make your way there, it’ll be a battle to get in on the trend. That said: With Olaplex, anything is possible.
On Thursday, the Washington Postreported allegations that Roy Moore, the Republican Senate candidate from Alabama, had initiated a sexual encounter with an Alabama woman when she was 14 and he was 32. Three other women, then between the ages of 16 and 18, also say that Moore pursued them.
In response, the hashtag #MeAt14 began to trend on Twitter, popularized by comedian Lizz Winstead. As part of the movement, women are posting pictures of themselves at 14 as a way of emphasizing why it’s inappropriate for a young teenager—still a child—to have a sexual relationship with a man in his 30s. The photos and captions seem to emphasize the innocence of childhood and highlight that, at that age, teens are unable to consent to a relationship with an adult or encounters like the ones Moore allegedly attempted to carry out.
Moore has been elected twice and removed twice from the Alabama’s supreme court, both for ethical violations un-related to sexual misconduct. In his initial defense against the allegations, he denied even knowing the then-14-year-old and addressed the other three women: “With regard to the other girls, you understand this is 40 years ago and, after my return from the military, I dated a lot of young ladies,” adding that he didn’t “remember ever dating any girl without the permission of her mother.” Since the allegations broke, several fellow Republicans have distanced themselves from Moore.
On Saturday, a former co-worker of his told CNN it was “common knowledge that Roy dated high-school girls. We wondered why someone his age would hang out at high school football games and the mall, but you really wouldn’t say anything to someone like that.”
Many women—including Katie Couric and Alyssa Milano—have joined in the hashtag by posting photos of themselves accompanied by captions explaining what they were actually concerned about at 14. (Hint: Fighting off advances from adult men were not one of them.)
The hashtag, however, has also been met with some criticism, with some users saying the use of photos to illustrate the importance consent laws is misguided. “Making it about photos reinforces the wrong idea that child sexual assault is wrong only when children look like children,” wrote one user.
Another critique holds that some tweets, including those that use the phrasing like “I was not dating a 32-year-old man,” can be seen as victim-blaming.
Regardless, the message behind #MeAt14 isn’t only about the photos; it’s about the captions that go with them, listing what young women were concerned about at that age: Get Smart re-runs, playing the French horn, Lord of the Rings discussion boards. The examples make it clear that 14 really is young—and that this hashtag should never have to exist in the first place.
