ANTI-AGING IS HATE SPEECH Words by Diana Weis Once condemned to invisibility, the way we see women in their 40s and 50s is changing.

Music tip: Finding the Frequency with sim0ne Words by Andrea Gombalová For sim0ne, music wasn't a career change so much as a realization. After years spent in front of the camera, stepping into electronic music became a way of expressing the parts of herself that had always been there. Blending influences from '90s rave culture with a distinctly contemporary perspective, her debut EP zer0 marks the beginning of a new chapter.
