Started this research project after reading about Georgina Weldon. She’s notorious for having a litigation addiction but I’m obsessed with the time Gounod asked for his sheet music back after their divorce and she sent it with her name written across every page. When he attempted to have her committed, she escaped and tried to press charges against him, even though married women couldn't initiate civil suits. When that failed, she shared her story with the papers to get him to sue her for libel. After the Married Woman's Property Act passed, she was simultaneously involved in seventeen legal cases. Highly recommend researching Kiki De Montparnasse, Dora Maar, Jeanne Duval, Camille Claudel, Aicha Goblet and Lizzie Siddal.

By Zweig I read The World of Yesterday, which was a good way to get into the head of late 1800s/early 1900s Europe, though felt very skimmable at times (not into personal memoirs much). I just started Proust's third volume, The Guermantes Way, which I am really enjoying.

after having an ovarian cyst for a while and finding out 4 months later that THATS why I was feeling deranged and horrible all the time I can’t get this thought (truth) out of my head — hormones are kind of everything! period cycles interest me so much now in a way they didn’t before bc I can clearly see the effects of them on our psyches/energy. for example I can always tell when a friend of mine is ovulating or PMSing. now I’m 24/7 yapping about menstruation/women’s health to all my friends.. or anyone who will listen really. mind-body connection fr fr
OUT: thinking that asking about periods is rude; men Tiptoeing around the subject of periods; discounting what hormones do to our bodies and minds !!!!

I liked finding out that this is a word/thing cuz I totally relate. I just love (going to or hosting) events (apartment housewarmings, dj sets, dinners, breakfasts, movie nights, whatever it may be..). if it's a thing that's happening and I'm with/inviting friends, it's An Event idc!
