9. An intriguing read from The New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/17/health/clitoris-sex-doctors-surgery.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&fbclid=IwAR33vjVL44l-j3WOamle2SbBepfCPoZ0KRVpLe-7f8G5tToiBhfjvOSE9Oo” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>“Half the World Has a Clitoris.

11. If you’re on the hunt for a new pair of jeans, https://shopstyle.it/l/bNvlv” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>consider these ones from Madewell. After a months-long search, these were the winners for me! A note on fit: I’m in between sizes and ordered the smaller of the two. They fit great but these jeans do stretch a little after the first wear and I probably could have ordered another size down for a slightly more form-fitting look.
