💬📚🎨 “Perhaps you can put it this way. A man who does a man’s work is a normal human being. A woman who does a man’s work is a kind of superwoman. She must be two selves, one who supplies energy for her part of the world’s work, the other the woman who fulfils the obligations custom has laid upon her.” -CECILIA BEAUX, AMERICAN ARTIST, INTERVIEWED IN THE BOSTON HERALD (1910), quoted in The Club: Where American Women Artists Found Refuge in Belle Époque Paris by Jennifer Dasal.

🔖 Read You Can’t Uncast a Spell by Holli Flanagan (Electric Literature).
I haven’t seen Wicked: For Good. This is an interesting and poignant analysis of the changes it makes from the ending of the stage show.

Finished reading: Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë 📚
Well. This was not what I expected. Heathcliff isn’t the ghost, the ghost is barely on page, and Heathcliff and Catherine have minimal time on-page together. Still a compelling read if, like me, you’re comfortable with the 19th century language and writing style.
I’m reading Wuthering Heights in hopes the Secret Goth Cabal will let me keep my Goth Card and I have to say, this book would make a lot more sense if people didn’t all have the same or similar names.

Read it aloud to my kid. I read it once about 15 years ago. Super fun.
