This one was titled: Finding Comfort in the Enormity of the Universe When Your Problems Feel Too Big.

Yeah, I was *thisclose* to an existential crisis (aren't we all at some point?) and was learning about the stars, and isn't there something comforting about there being this wide expanse out there? All that beauty and chaos and light and dark and it's billions and millions of light years away, so far that you measure it in light, and you can't even use yourself as a metric when measuring up against nebulae and supergiants and blackholes. And it makes you feel kinda small, and maybe a little scared, but suddenly those problems aren't so big, are they? We're just little people on a little rock next to a little star with our own little moon. We really won the lottery on chances, didn't we? And doesn't that make you want to look at the stars, take a breath, and make it to the next day?

Side note: I spent a good couple of hours scrolling through NASA's website and getting sidetracked (hence my earlier post on the moon landing in two years). Lowkey in love with NASA's website, ngl. So as an added treat, here are a few of my favorites that I came across!!

This will tell you when/where you can see the ISS! (idk if it works internationally, I just sort of focusing on where I was atm, ha ha!)

This lets you know about upcoming launches! (how I found out about Artemis!!)

This is a map that lets you see pictures of a bunch of cool stars/galaxies/exoplanets/nebulae! (This is where I grabbed all of the pretty space pictures!! There's so much more, too!!!)

This is a website that posts a fun picture of certain tech or something in the universe as well as an explanation below every day!! (I was shown this recently and I keeeeep checking.)

And, last but not least, this website tells you what picture the Hubble Telescope took on your birthday!! (Astrology signs are OUT, tell me what picture was taken the day of your birth!!)

There's also a (fictional) comic strip about the first woman on the moon! (I didn't get a chance to read it, but it's also found on a whole page dedicated to interactives and games which is absolutely where I found some of those other links)

Anyway, there's definitely more to find and would highly recommend just scrolling through their website to see what you can find!

We're gonna be okay, y'all. (っ´⌣`)ﾉ(´._.`)

for Jeff Noon’s Vurt, were you looking for just the first book, or the whole series?

and D. Eric Maikranz’s The Reincarnationist Papers looks like fantasy to me (relying as it does on reincarnation), rather than sci-fi. could you, or someone else who’s read the book/series, elaborate on what would make it science fiction?

(also, if it is science fiction, did you want just the first book or the whole series?)

Bonjour à tout le monde. Oggi la storia della più celebre "pretty woman" francese, del XIX secolo. Valtesse Delabigne. Nella storia di Émilie-Louise Delabigne ci sono tutti i passaggi obbligati di una giovanissima ragazza che si dedica alla prostituzione, fino a diventare una cortigiana in grado di influenzare i più potenti uomini dell’epoca e che, grazie alla sua professione, riesce ad accumulare un patrimonio pari a oltre 2 milioni di euro al cambio attuale.

Louise Delabigne (1848-1910) era la figlia naturale di una donna che per mantenere i sei figli si prostituiva per pochi soldi, e di un padre alcolizzato e violento, che le impedì per sempre di nutrire fiducia negli uomini. A 13 anni, già bellissima con i suoi capelli rosso-oro e intensi occhi azzurri, Louise perse la sua innocenza, violentata per strada da un uomo anziano che probabilmente l’aveva notata nel negozio di abbigliamento dove lavorava.

Il destino sembrava aver segnato il suo percorso: divenne una grisette, che nella gerarchia della prostituzione indicava quelle giovani donne che si vendevano per strada, rischiando l’arresto e il taglio dei capelli, se fermate dalla polizia. Intanto Louise lavorava anche in negozio di abbigliamento intimo femminile, frequentato da uomini facoltosi. Lì incontrò un giovane uomo che le prese il cuore e le diede due figlie, ma non trovò il coraggio di sposarla. Dopo quella deludente esperienza amorosa, Louise decise che non si sarebbe mai sposata, preferendo arrivare al traguardo della ricchezza e della notorietà con altri sistemi:

vendersi senza mai darsi veramente, senza eccezioni per nessuno

Intanto era salita di un gradino nella scala sociale delle mondane: era una lorette, che nel gergo della categoria indicava quelle donne che venivano mantenute da pochi clienti selezionati. La sua grande occasione arrivò quando conobbe il compositore Jacques Offenbach, che la elevò a livello delle grandes horizontales, cortigiane i cui favori erano contesi da tutti quegli uomini che potevano permetterselo. Divenne l’amante e musa ispiratrice di molti artisti, come Edouard Manet, Henri Gervex, Gustave Coubert, e altri pittori famosi, tanto che fu soprannominata “l’Union des Peintres”. Nel frattempo aveva cambiato nome, si faceva chiamare Valtesse de La Bigne: Valtesse aveva grosso modo lo stesso suono di “Votre Altesse” (vostra altezza). Con questo pretenzioso nome riuscì a rovinare economicamente diversi personaggi della nobiltà francese ed europea: il principe Lubomirski di Polonia e il principe de Sagan.

Dai suoi amanti pretendeva abiti lussuosi e gioielli preziosi, case, carrozze, viaggi, cene in locali prestigiosi, tanto che non ammise nella sua camera da letto lo scrittore Alexandre Dumas dicendogli: “Caro signore, non è nei tuoi mezzi”.

In un certo senso fu un altro scrittore, Emile Zola, a prendersi una rivincita sulla cortigiana: scrisse il libro Nanà, che ebbe un enorme successo, ispirandosi proprio a lei, la sirena che incantava e poi distruggeva gli uomini che si illudevano di possederla, descritta come amabile ma spietata, un ritratto poco lusinghiero che irritò molto la Valtesse. Valtesse fu abbastanza lungimirante da capire che la sua attività era legata all’età, così si ritirò a vita privata, nella sua lussuosa dimora a Ville-d’Avray, quando aveva poco più di 50 anni. Continuò però a istruire giovani donne sull’arte di intrattenere gli uomini, fino a quando, il 29 luglio del 1910, le scoppiò una vena e morì.

Lei stessa aveva scritto il suo annuncio funebre, che rivela un animo poetico nascosto sotto le vesti da cortigiana: “Bisogna amare un po’ o molto, seguendo la natura, ma velocemente, in un istante, come si ama un canto degli uccelli, che parla alla propria anima e che si dimentica con la sua ultima nota, come uno ama i colori cremisi del sole nel momento in cui scompare sotto l’orizzonte “.

BTW men having wives/partners but then also mistresses has always been a pretty standard practice in France just saying // Well their favorite French cinema doesn't always provide the same standards of a healthy relationship. There's always some cheating going on. Some time ago Louise said that her favorite author is Francoise Sagan and if any of you have ever read her stories you know that the characters cheat on each other.

also Alex is not French and neither is Taylor so
