by Alexandra Kleeman. I recommend this book to every woman I meet ever, I've literally never read a better unfolding of the female psyche as it is bombarded with information in the contemporary world. Idk why this book is not more widely read.

Regan Penaluna's novel is a beautiful look at women in academia, philosophy, and modern life. She weaves stories of forgotten female philosophers with personal anecdotes of her time in academia, and I'm on a second read-through already.

💄If you loved The Substance or you’re like me and you can’t handle watching body horror but you love it conceptuall, these books are for you. Both address how the beauty industry preys on our insecurities, especially for women of color. I think body horror + beauty will be a growing topic for discussion

📝i can never describe cixous' writing so i will let her speak for herself:
“Women must write through their bodies” “Write! and your text-seeking self will know itself better than flesh and blood” “When I write, it’s everything that we don’t know we can be that is written out of me”
“Women must write through their bodies” “Write! and your text-seeking self will know itself better than flesh and blood” “When I write, it’s everything that we don’t know we can be that is written out of me”

😃Since my teen years I have been clinically ill for two weeks every few months before my period. Full blown mental breakdowns, paranoia, anxiety, aggression and a long laundry list of manic/depressive symptoms that leaves my boyfriend inches from the packing his bags. I took a blood test two years ago that revealed I have a genetic mutation called the MTHFR mutation that inhibits my body from processing folic acid and other important B vitamins. So now I'm a kooky supplement lady that turns into a monster without my methyl guard plus supplement. A lot of women are diagnosed with PMDD every year and told to go on birth control or to take prozac or to just deal with it and it makes me foam at the mouth to think about all the suffering that could be prevented by a simple blood test and some goddamn B vitamins!!!
