For anyone who has read this does it talk about Russian literature at all? 🙋🏻♀️
Translated from Italian. Fantagrahics books. It was first published in 1977-1982. Petra is a heiress and spy in WW1. She looks very similar to the character on the covers of Phryne Fisher books; almost reminiscent of Louise Brooks.
It‘s the perfect time to read this graphic novel.

It‘s another Floating Thistle planner for the coming year. Cover printed on both sides.
“Particularly chilling from the perspective of young and potentially vulnerable newcomers to such communities is the way in which posters explosive rants are matched by long, faux-academic debates, relying on pseudoscience or math, in which the men who frequent these forums make detailed arguments to rationalize their sadistic fantasies. These posts are suggestive of recruitment, aimed at convincing and converting others to the same cause. They -
“Much has been written about the alt-right, and particularly its links to the rise of Donald Trump. But the deeply misogynistic beliefs that run through the movement and their role in many of its foundational tenets often go overlooked and unreported. In the same way, the raciest elements of the incel movement are often omitted from commentary, suggesting that it is an exclusively misogynistic, sex-obsessed community. Rarely, too, do those writing
“Women, so the story goes, are constantly hungry for sex, but they choose to sleep only with the most attractive cohort of men. Incels are obsessed with what they refer to as the 80:20 theory, which holds that the top 20 percent of the most attractive men enjoys 80 percent of the sex within our society🙄. They lament that the “sexual marketplace” is brutally hierarchical, with women completely in control.They believe that when women are choosing-
“Almost every week for the past eight years, I have spoken to young people in schools across the UK about sexism. But over the past two years boys responses started changing. They were angry, resistant to the very idea of a conversation about sexism. Men themselves were the real victims, they‘d tell me, in a society in which political correctness has gone mad, white men are persecuted, and so many women lie about rape. In schools from rural -
This book has tons of illustrations of exercises. Take it to the gym. Try to balance it on your head as a hat.
pickStiff will always be my favorite because it was my first Roach. This one was not bad. I sometimes get annoyed that she doesn‘t go more in depth on the particular topics I find the most interesting 🤷🏻♀️. I like my science with a sense of humor.
“I try to suggest not going that far,” Daza-Flores says. He tries to get inside their heads, to see why they‘re asking for this. Is it something their partner wants? He counsels patients against getting implants to please someone else. Because, as he puts it, the surgeries often outlast the relationships. He has had patients who‘ve “changed out their breast implants every time they change boyfriends.”
Now on Netflix. Godard would hate this.
This video is on one of the biggest reasons the new “Wuthering Heights” film probably won‘t be very good. Emerald Fennell‘s inability to or unwillingness to deal with class and race. https://youtu.be/9mdegALUYrE?si=ubcn0P9oMweUjMXJ
New longer “Wuthering Heights” preview 🙈. https://youtu.be/3fLCdIYShEQ?si=dnDMRje5f3Zjuio-

Im going to watch Frankenstein on Netflix this weekend. The book is one of my favorites. I very much enjoyed Pans Labyrinth and The Shape of Water.
Here‘s a negative review from a big fan of the book. Who says he changes and leaves out big parts of the story for visuals sake, which is my fear with Del Toro.

When working at a bookstore with a horror section, I mostly avoided the section. “What! I don‘t like horror.” Shirley Jackson, Daphne du Maurier, Angela Carter, Bloody Frankenstein are some of my favorites, so I do like horror. To be fair the ones I listed were shelved in fiction if I remember correctly.
I‘ve skimmed the above book. The glaring problem I see is NO ANGELA CARTER. 🫤
From my bookshop trip yesterday. There‘s a theme. I couldn‘t have one without the other.
Happy Halloween

Down Cemetery Road started last night. Starring Ruth Wilson and Emma Thompson. On AppleTV+.
“Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight? The same thing we do every night, Pinky… try to take over the world.”
Second session talk of Dr Mary Claire Haver, Dr Stacy Sims , Dr Vonda Wright and Dr Natalie Crawford talking about women‘s health, peri, menopause and strength training. https://youtu.be/P1CeHGJOX5g?si=xX-piSa3K2V73yTz
“The Sunshine State is nothing if not unique, a cavalcade of sheer, unremitting absurdity of every possible variation from the Panhandle to the Keys, and I love it because there is nothing that delights me as much as the utterly bizarre. In this sense, I hold Florida to be a generous dispenser of gifts, bringing me great joy with places like Gatorland, whose slogan is, “You know what y‘all need? Y‘all need Gatorland.”
What does that even mean? -
“The symbolic relationship between women and bears has a long history across many cultures. In ancient Greece, there was a shrine to Artemis, where prepubescent girls danced in imitation of bears in a ritual to prepare for womanhood, for bears were sacred to that goddess. Followers of Artemis were expected to remain virgins,though, and in one myth the nymph Callisto was turned into a bear as punishment after she was “seduced” by Zeus and became-
“There is also a faint but odious whiff of incestuous desire here, the cornerstone of any properly Gothic family. As repellent as it is to contemplate, the entire story with the “lover” may have been a cover-up, the poor boy a fall guy for Roberval‘s misdeed, Damienne a deliberate choice of midwife, the baby a double Roberval. Or perhaps the lover wasn‘t so innocent either-as writer Edmee Lepetcq has noted, in the sixteenth century, rape was -
“These villains are everywhere in Gothic fiction; most of all, Roberval and Marguerite make me think of Signor Montoni and Emily St. Aubert in The Mysterious of Udolpho. Marguerite actually has a lot in common with the heroine of Ann Radcliffe‘s novel: both are Frenchwomen, orphans from noble families in reduced circumstances whose stories take place in the sixteenth century, and both of these heroines will be imprisoned in isolated places -
