Big day regarding the news today on the Women’s Health Strategy. It feels like a glimmer of hope, but until it’s widely seen in practice - most are sceptical. More needs to be done on changing the outdated perspectives that so many women have already faced up until this point
Saga of the phantom Fred Again tickets continues - tickets secured in basket, went through checkout via AXS account and again, website fails and tickets suddenly “disappear”
I’ve had at least 5 sets of tickets for Fred Again over the past week and they’ve failed every. single. time. through AXS 😭 so over it and their shitty website
we are DECADES behind on research on female health and this is what resources are being wasted on. studies about how males are collaterally affected by diseases that women suffer, studies about how men can’t get enough pleasure due to endometriosis . WHAT ARE WE DOING
Doctors are now finding out that The pain we feel when we experience period cramps is equivalent to the pain we feel when we have a heart attack and we didn't know that before, cause researchers weren't getting periods and they didn't know that was a thing they needed to research so we've been enduring this for years and just going to work cause we are trained like it’s fine, it's okay....if men menstruated, period pain would be a valid sick leave reason
menstrual products cause bodily harm. toothpaste causes dental issues for women because it was designed for men specifically. Male baldness is studied more than endometriosis....They created a male birth control but pulled it when it was linked to cancer, & acne, hairloss, mood swings...yet women have been living with those same risks for decades. This is more than medicine; it's proof of a system that protects men's comfort while ignoring women's pain.

Van Gogh died broke because nobody wanted his paintings. He sold maybe one during his entire life. The art world thought his style was too immature. His brother Theo, an art dealer, kept him alive by sending money constantly.
When Van Gogh passed in 1890, his brother, Theo died just six months later. That left Theo's wife Jo as a 28 year old widow with a baby and about 900 paintings nobody wanted, plus hundreds of letters.
Here's what actually mattered. Van Gogh had written hundred of letters letters to Theo and Jo explaining individual paintings and his life as an artist. He told them the stories behind each work, what he was trying to express, what each one meant to him.
After both brothers died, Jo remembered these letters and published them.
That's what made him famous. People could read Van Gogh's own words about each painting. The works stopped being random art and became stories he had experienced. The paintings got context directly from him explaining what he was doing. Jo gave the world Van Gogh's voice attached to his work.
By the time she died in 1925, he had gone from total unknown to art historical icon.
I had a dream the night before last that I was at a songwriting retreat with Raye and another dream last night that Fred Again got us into his sold out show 🤔
