News! We’ve got news!
Every day, as I write this for you, my dear friends, I think of Kermit the Frog. Kermit is the finest amphibian journalist to ever hop the earth. We should all try to be like Kermit.
I am a disillusioned newsperson. I am crumbled against the dumpster in the alley even as we speak, wearing my tattered fedora, pulling a flask of cheap gin from the pocket of my filthy trenchcoat. And yet: I give you the morning headlines. Because a newsgirl never gives up.

In a 2002 study done at SUNY Albany, 293 college women answered questionnaires about their sexual histories and took the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), a commonly used criterion for gauging depression symptoms. Women who always had sex with men without using condoms had significantly lower levels of symptoms of depression than those who never or infrequently had unprotected sex, as well as those who abstained from sex entirely. There was no noticeable difference in depression between condom users and people who didn’t have sex, indicating that intercourse itself wasn’t the mood-boosting factor.
