I loved FX's DYING FOR SEX - and, related, have developed a strong urge to kick @robdelaney.bsky.social in the balls. But one of my favorite scenes featured a hospice worker explaining to a terminally ill patient what happens to your body when you're dying. www.theguardian.com/wellness/202...

Minnesota is at the center of a sauna renaissance. As a winter-hater, I tried to get into saunas and the accompanying cold plunges to see if I could enjoy the season. (Quite a departure from what I normally cover.) www.theguardian.com/wellness/202...
I moved to the sauna capital of the US. Could I take the heat?
A thriving sauna culture is growing in frosty Minnesota as people warm to the health benefits and sense of community

"You want to hump your partner’s armpit? Go for it. They want to lick the back of your knee or the instep of your foot? Amazing. You want to cover both your bodies in almond oil and roll around like puppies wrestling? Super." – @enagoski.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/wellness/202...
