What: A fun essay from writer Emma Alpern on the never-ending allure of menstruation being tied to the cycles of the moon. Alpern digs into the science, too, and finds a little (but not conclusive) evidence that there could be a tie between our bodies and our moon.
Why it matters: As Alpern put it: “Even for those allergic to the tiniest hint of woo, there’s something picturesque about the possibility of a secret relationship to the moon. After all, it seems like something is wrong with the way we live.”
