love this Adrienne Rich essay on lying. I think this can apply to everyone, not just women. in it she writes that telling the truth creates possibilities between us. "It is important to do this because it breaks down human self delusion and isolation"

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.

talk to yourself about your feelings as if you were someone else observing your thoughts. very good way to organize and regulate your emotions/learn how to love yourself. very important to do before you can love anyone else.

turning fruits into other fruits can give you a sense of control in these uncertain times. play this game and watch hours disappear, existential dread replaced by a feeling of purpose and pride in what you have accomplished.
