    Inga identifies as Solo Poly, which kinda sounds like an oxymoron: someone who leads a life of polyamory, but one that is distinctly… solo.

    A controversial series of photographs by artist Arne Svenson has been the subject of much discussion lately. In it, Svenson exhibits photos of his neighbours, images he captured without their consent through the windows of their New York apartments. This is more than ethically ambiguous, it’s pretty straight up wrong. But it doesn’t discount our secret…
