4 h. ago ‘I was struck by the grammar of it, the angular nature’: Elizabeth Day’s best phone picture

The author’s instinctive image of colourful windows in a house undergoing renovation was selected for the Royal Academy’s annual Summer ExhibitionElizabeth Day felt as if she hadn’t seen the sun for decades. It was a gloomy December morning and the podcaster and author was headed towards a London recording studio. On the way, she passed a row of houses that were being renovated. The windows on one particular house had just been replaced and covered with a translucent blue sheet and haphazard orange tape; the scene caught her eye, so she paused to capture it with her iPhone 15 Pro.“I’m known among my loved ones as someone who takes photos of random things, but I just found this so arresting,” Day says. “I was struck by the grammar of it, the angular nature. The tape reminded me of art’s golden ratio, the geometry like a Mondrian crossed with a Rothko. I was exhausted that morning and it completely brightened my mood.” Continue reading...

10 h. ago Goethe immortalised the shaming of German women 200 years ago – we’re still at it | Fatma Aydemir

Abortion is criminalised and stigmatised – and now the right has found a new female scapegoat in its US-style war on bodily autonomyEvery nation has literary classics that shape its cultural identity. Germans have Faust, Goethe’s play about the successful but dissatisfied scientist Dr Heinrich Faust, who makes a deal with the devil. Faust has been performed, referenced and read in schools for more than two centuries now. Interestingly, the most tragic character in this tragedy is not the protagonist, but his “love interest”, Gretchen – a teenage girl groomed by the old man, impregnated and socially ostracised. Her solution? She drowns her “illegitimate” newborn child, accepts her death penalty and rejects Faust’s offer to save her from prison. In God’s mercy, the Christian girl seeks salvation and off goes Faust with the devil to new adventures in Faust, Part Two.What would Gretchen do today, I wonder. Her fate is not only a result of sexual abuse and an inherently misogynistic mora...
