"Her lips, her lips

I could kiss them all day if she'd let me

Her laugh, her laugh

She hates, but I think it's so sexy

She's so beautiful and I tell her everyday"

I think about this song when I remember her, I just hope I have the courage to tell her that one day.

absolutely fell in love with this story after reading it

[misledmiseries]

domesticity as in feminine horror, mental anguish, placid rage, quiet devastations, idle insanity, growling acquiesce, veiled resentment, and dreams of bloody atonements.

Alice Walker approving of Joanne Rowling ? What a surprise. (Also I know you could have found a transmisogynoirist Black womanist and commented on how their views are parallels. Because even from you, that still feels extremely scorching)

Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote The Yellow Wallpaper in 1892.

"Nobody would believe what an effort it is to do what little I am able,--to dress and entertain, and order things."

It's really such a good story to read. She's (main character) very clearly suffering from depression (postpartum depression in this case, which ends up developing into a psychosis of sorts), which is only made worse by the sexism and medical misogyny of the time.

This is a direct reference to Gilman's own struggles with mental illness which was worsened by her doctor (fuck you, Doctor Silas Weir Mitchell) prescribing her a "rest cure", self-isolating treatment.

Mitchell was entirely interested in the body, not what women had to say about their own symptoms. His signature “rest cure” relied on severe restriction of the body. Patients were kept completely isolated, fed rich, creamy foods and forbidden to do any kind of activity, from reading a book to going on a walk. “Complete submission to the authority of the physician” and enforced rest were seen as part of the cure.

Carolyn Bessette Kennedy wearing a Prada red coat and boots, walking in New York with husband John F. Kennedy Jr., 1997.

“Carolyn’s red Prada coat is very Prada. The spring 1996 collection was based on a 1960s Formica kitchen print used on tiles, wallpaper, and curtains. The fashion reviews bordered on the acidic-you either loved or hated it. The collection, however, was considered the root to the Prada tree-led by a political feminist designer ques-toning the standard assumptions of beauty and luxury. Carolyn's coat and color was not from the runway collection, but the print was comparable to another runway look, and it was made in John's favorite color: red. The coat is Prada poetry at its best, a mocking wink on what we consider luxury. From every collection going for-ward, Mrs. Prada mixes fantasy and reality. functionality, and eccentricity. Textures, fabrics, embellishments, weights, values, traditions, and concepts are all at the mercy of Mrs. Prada's intellectual eye. Friends of Carolyn's have often said that she was keen to deflect from her beauty, and the house's modus operandi was the perfect conduit for her, as well as its position as the label of the nineties.” - CBK: Carolyn Bessette Kennedy: A Life in Fashion by Sunita Kumar Nair
