Fashion Friday

It's been awhile since we've done a Fashion Friday post, but we're back at it with the French magazine La Mode! La Mode began in 1896 in Paris and was printed by Le Gérant : E. Durand. I was unable to find out much else about it, partially because its title was part of the titles of other French fashion magazines from the period—but we do know that the printers also printed Le Petit Journal, a popular daily newspaper.

This issue is no. 38 from September 21, 1923 and features a very fashionably dressed woman on the cover. The text at the bottom is an ad for the fabric dye brand Twink and says (translated from French): "Twink allows you to inexpensively dye your babies' pretty dresses." The issue also includes features on hats, coats, and one on the use of embroidered fabrics in interior design. There is also a supplement included with a design pattern (shown in the last image).

Most of the fashions included in this issue are in preparation for chilly fall weather, so let's let it inspire us to enjoy the warm sunny days of summer while we have them!

Bel après-midi 👋

Depuis quelques mois, le dimanche est le seul jour où je prends un petit déjeuner ( je fais un jeûne intermittent) . Alors ce jour là, c'est croissants et jus d'orange, toujours sous la surveillance de Max qui adore les croissants lui aussi ! Bon dimanche à tous.

🔴 URGENT ACTION!! Go to GazaStrong.com to

sign the petition.

Month Amarneh is a Palestinian journalist who has been documenting the occupation for years. He has a bullet lodged in his skull next to his brain from an incident with an IDF soldier who disregarded his PRESS uniform and shot him in the head. Immediately after stabilizing, he was out and working again.

He is a dedicated man to his family as well as his people, and he was captured in October by "Israeli'" forces. They have been TORTURING him everyday on top of denying him food and his diabetes medication. They were made aware of his previous

injuries and intentionally beat him on his head to further the trauma. Time is running out for Moath and he needs to be released ASAP!!!

PLEASE, sign the petition and share to urge the UN, Red Cross, and Red Crescent to take SWIFT ACTION and save him from torture and death in captivity. These are WAR CRIMES AGAINST JOURNALISTS AND WE CANNOT STAND BY. STAND WITH MOATH. STAND WITH PALESTINIAN JOURNALISTS

Busy days.

05.05.2023

This week has been intense. I did so many things it felt like I was going crazy, but It’s also true that one by one it seems to me I’ve not progressed much. I spent my time mainly studying. I haven’t finished my molecular biology program yet, unfortunately I’m 2 days late on my study schedule. Soon I’ll switch to cell biology (easier for me than molecular), that I’ll exploit to make up for the 2 extra days I’ve spent for molecular bio. On Tuesday I started a new reading (📖The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry), which I believe will be fully read by the weekend. I haven’t decided yet what my next reading will be; just yesterday some books I ordered online arrived 🥹. My choice is between The Tea Planter’s Wife by Dinah Jefferies, Little Women by Louisa May Alcott and Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford. But honestly, it may be none of them since a dear friend of mine told me about a series of fantasy books he’s read that I’d really like to start. Both on reading and creative writing (like this journal) I rely on the feeling of the moment rather than on a rigid schedule 🍃

Productivity:

almost finished my molecular biology program

started my second book after a huge reader’s block

Selfcare:

took my cat to the vet 

spent time with my bestfriends (mostly chatting more than usual)

walked a lot after days of inactivity

a nice girl texted me and brightened my day <3

📸 Books I ordered online last week

👋 Bel après-midi

Tiens le Guillaume Meurice - grand spécialiste du micro trottoir pas drôle payé avec mes impôts - s’est pris un avertissement de sa patronne pour ses propos à l’antenne et maintenant vient chialer qu’il va faire appel à la justice qui est pourtant - si j’ai bien lu mes fiches - patriarcale, bourgeoise et néocoloniale.

En plus on parle d’un avertissement, pas d’un licenciement. Le mec est à deux doigts de découvrir qu’il bosse pour le service public et qu’il a des comptes à rendre. Déjà que le service public est à 90% à gauche et que tout le monde se tamponne du pluralisme, il va venir geindre qu’on le laisse pas faire du Rivarol à l’antenne.

Mais crée ton média mon petit coco ! Faits et Documents recrute peut-être !
