Nail biting affects nearly one in five adult men—and breaking the habit isn’t as simple as “just stopping.” We explore why nail biting is so hard to quit and how Talons help interrupt the habit physically while rebuilding confidence. By turning nails into a source of pride instead of stress, Talons offer a practical, stylish way to finally break the cycle and support healthier hands.

National Day of Silence: Hate Has No Place Here
April 10th is the National Day of Silence — a student-led day of action against the bullying and harassment LGBTQIA+ people face. At Talons, we've built our community around self-expression and redefining modern masculinity, and we see the hate that shows up when people dare to be visible. We don't look away. We moderate actively, block offenders, and stand with every person who's ever hesitated to show up fully. Safe doesn't mean silent — it means protected. And courageous means we act.
