“...any institution that prioritizes cashing the checks over calling out the evil is no longer an arts organization. It's a reputation-laundering firm with a well-read board.“ 💅🏼

Next up for reading.
I sense much of this book is going to stick with me, this passage in particular. An important question.
pickI have been fascinated by the events at Dyatlov Pass for quite some time. This book recounts the author's retracing the journey of the hikers and delivers a very plausible theory of what happened.
Yesterday after work I went grocery shopping and got my false eyelashes put on for ballet Eisteddfod season. The Beautician was running late so I got some time on the massage chair. I needed it. Afterwards I walked home via the local Little Free Library. These were my scores. I went home to a pie and mash for dinner made by my elderly neighbour, Kenny who had a stroke so his wife gets him to cook for me and boy doesn‘t it make my life easier.
pickChristine de Pizan was a feminist before that word even existed. In 1404 she wrote this text, taking all the bad things men say about women (because they still do) and shows them, how and why they're wrong. It's a text based in the Middel Ages, so we find a lot of religious talking and the structure of the book is rooted in the traditions from back then. But I am very impressed by what De Pizan did.

pickFantastic. Concise, enlightening collection of women in science. I had heard of only 10 out of 50 of these women, several because of the Stuff You Missed in History podcast. The artwork is colorful but the faces are a little too caricatured for my liking with the weird lips and noses. I like the fun facts and quotes surrounding the main text. It‘s a little overwhelming to look at, but I like the information.
