i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

I often think of this as a sunrise dress, its fiery layers of tulle replicating the striations of early morning. Today I was treated to this display on my stroll through the lanes, mirroring the Callot Soeurs colours of c1910 #madparisfr #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

please enjoy this god-tier opening graf from kathryn bromwich's At the Edge of the Woods www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/818461...

the opening paragraph of kathryn bromwich's At the Edge of the Woods: "In the mornings, when my thoughts have not yet arranged themselves into their familiar malevolent shapes and the day is still unformed, I wake up before dawn and sheathe myself in layer upon layer of coarse, heavy clothing, and walk deep into the woods while my eyes adjust to the velvety darkness. In time I have learned the path's duplicitous ways--its thorns and unsteady footholds and half-seen creatures have become better known to me lately than my own reflection, which with the passing of the years has departed so much from the image I expect to see staring back that steeling myself to face it has become a daily penance, a source of horror so visceral and intense that for the ensuing minutes it taints all other considerations. But in the trees here there are no mirrors, or others in whose glances I can see myself reflected, only the astringent cold stinging my eyes and the soft sweet smell of growth and decay."

In 1932, 2 women started an experiment with no funding. Visited dying children by kerosene light. With a lab assistant tested a vaccine on themselves first. By 1940, whooping cough was wiped out in America. Gave the vaccine away free. Their names were Pearl Kendrick, Grace Eldering, & Loney Gordon.

In 1932, two women started a science experiment after work. No funding. Visited dying children by kerosene light. Tested the vaccine on themselves first. By 1940, whooping cough was wiped out in America. Saved millions of children. Gave the vaccine away free. Their names were Pearl Kendrick and Grace Eldering. You've never heard of them.

The picture is of Pearl Kendrick.

Loney O. Clinton Gordon (1915–1999), also known as Loney Clinton, was an African American chemistry laboratory assistant whose bacteriological virulence research led to a pertussis vaccine in 1942, an effective protection against whooping cough developed in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with doctors Pearl Kendrick and Grace Eldering.

Grace Eldering (September 5, 1900 – August 31, 1988)[1] was an American public health scientist, known for her involvement in the creation of a vaccine for whooping cough along with Loney Gordon and Pearl Kendrick
