American culture has developed a remarkable talent for sedation. Beige interiors, flattened masculinity, and algorithm-approved personalities have replaced risk, appetite, and imagination.

Across my writing for Hudson Valley Style […]

Beer might be the sacred chalice of frat bros, backyard barbecues, and half-baked masculinity, but for me—and for the body I’ve spent over a decade sculpting into a homoerotic temple—it’s a hard no. Not because I don’t enjoy a good drink (I do, and I’ll get to my favorites), but because beer sits at […]
