Elisabeth, Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary, popularly known as Sisi, photographed in March 1865 when she went to Munich to fetch her cousin, Ludwig II, King of Bavaria, from the train station.

Ludwig II took her to the studio of his favourite court photographer, Josef Albert, where he photographed The Empress in different settings, including in the courtyard and in a window. The session includes a rare photograph of Sisi smiling.

In love with this photo. Her smile, her shy, naughty gaze...❤️

Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel she was feeling relaxed and more comfortable in this photo session, comparing with others. Maybe she felt more free without the obligation to pose.

I find it very difficult to be informed about sexual health in lesbian relationships. I've been informed all my life about heterosexual relationships and I've been hearing always and everywhere how important it is to know all about STD, STI, prevention, etc.

I know I can ask in LGBTQ associations about it, but I do want to have the option, the right, to be informed by my doctor. If I were heterosexual and I would go to my doctor they would have plenty of information. But, I feel, from some situations, that they, sadly, know nothing or almost nothing about it. Many years ago I was in a relationship without any sexual health information. In that time I didn't know many things or that I could ask in some associations. But, imagine if I were in a heterosexual relationship and I would say to my doctor that I have had sex without any type of information or prevention! Well, my doctor, when I said that I wasn't using any prevention and that I was with a woman said nothing.

If sexual health is so important, and it is important, it is in every kind of relationship.

But, I feel, that homosexual or, maybe, lesbian relationships are less important for them.

Is it my health less important than heterosexual health?? Of course not, but sometimes I feel it that way.

The sigh I let out every single time I replay this scene. So tender.

I have recently discovered Isabel de Borbón-Parma (1741-1763), her story, her writings and her love for her sister-in-low, Maria Christina, and… WHAT A DISCOVER!

I wish the archives that keep them could published them or a transcription of them. I would love to read her ideas about politics, philosophy, education (she ‘rejected corporal punishments’), patriarchal European society (saying that women are ‘as good and capable intellectually as men, perhaps even better’) among other topics. And don’t forget she wrote them in 18th century!

Just one of her writings was published (‘Méditations chrétiennes’) and her love letters to Maria Christina are published by Elisabeth Badinter (‘Je meurs d’amour pour toi’) and, of course, I’m going to read them, even if I have to remember my two years French classes that I have practically forgotten.

I invite you to read about this woman

Every time I watch an episode of Wednesday I remember that Catherine Zeta-Jones was my (unconscious in that moment) first crush. I will never forget the Entrapment film.

Some people need proofs to say that a person is lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, etc, but the same people say that the same person is heterosexual without, actually, any proof.

And that annoys me a lot.

At gym, listening music, I usually follow the beat with my feet and I think people think I'm listening disco o pop music, but, actually...is classical music.

I don't have enough time to read all the books I want. When I read one, I add two o three more to my list 😂

Today, we celebrate not just the day you were born, but the courage you showed in a world that tried to silence you. You were a quiet force of resilience—choosing truth over conformity, love over fear. In the face of immense societal pressure, you stood beside Anne Lister, not as a shadow, but as an equal partner in one of history’s bravest love stories.

Your legacy is not just one of endurance, but of quiet heroism. You remind us that bravery doesn’t always shout—sometimes, it whispers and still changes the world.

Part of me feels very lonely since many years ago. I have passed through experiences that I had to manage alone, without help and being in some cases very young.

None of my friends have had any similar experiences but I've talked with them about some things that make me feel sad because I thought I could find in them a safe place. But, although their intention is good when they give me tips or their opinion, I don't feel understood at all.

I don't need tips, I don't need opinions. I just want a safe place to be myself and feel understood.
