What's got my attention this week #19

Things to read, watch and listen to this weekend

Rose Knox-Peebles, 81, set the internet alight when she responded to an unflattering review of her (mostly nude) performance in Das Rheingold. According to the FT’s reviewer, her make up was “frightful”. According to Rose, she wasn’t wearing any!

SCROLLING
• “This ‘frightful makeup’ is just my face!” £
• Are you a victim of generational diet trauma?
• Ballet flats are back. Are you old enough to know better? (I know I should be…)
• My friend Stacey Duguid wrote a book about her midlife collapse and how she rediscovered herself. But all the media wanted to talk about was her sex life.
• I wouldn’t go back to being 13 if you paid me, but this New York Times piece following three 13-year-olds over one year certainly consolidated that.
• We shouldn’t confuse discretion with repression.
• How to take a (really) long walk.
• The women detoxifying AI.
• What it’s really like to start IVF at 50.
