I love this quote from the Botox article you linked: "Getting snobby or judgey about it won’t stop it happening, but it will get people lying about it. Or worse, ashamed. And lord knows if Botox and the like disappeared they’d find something else for women to be ashamed of themselves for, the patriarchy has to put it somewhere after all." TOO TRUE.

If you like Salt Fat Heat Acid, have you tried History of the Taco? Spanish with subtitles and utterly wonderful.

Oh no is Capote versus The Swans that bad??? I was hoping for a bit of glamorous escapism! Nice to see Sausage making an appearance as well

Read Drinks With Broads’ recaps. They are the best! They write the recaps so you don’t actually have to watch if you don’t want to.

Not sure that more uptake of HRT reflects an unjust health disparity...perhaps it's a reflection of a more anxious and less well adjusted response by white women to the natural process of aging? (I'm a white 66 yr old post menopausal non-HRT taker who has generally throughout life avoided patjologizing natural bodily processes.)
