Today, Simone de Beauvoir’s ‘Second Sex’ entered the Pléiade !

Ah, would give a lot for a writing retreat by the sea right now!

Yesterday's sunset in Paris was something else.

...and a critical situation of the French National Centre for Scientific Research: after years of cutting the public funding, the planned 2026 budget will have 239 million euros worth of deficit.

Scary.
