In a new study from Shiley Eye Institute at UC San Diego Health, researchers have identified a potential new marker that shows cardiovascular disease may be present in a patient using an optical coherence tomography (OCT) scan—a non-invasive diagnostic tool commonly used in ophthalmology and optometry clinics to create images of the retina. The finding suggests…

One tear
One tear for the trick
One tear for the trust
One tear for the heart
One tear for the hurt
One tear for the broken
One tear for the hit
One tear for the trip
One tear for the blow
One tear for the echo
One tear for the tear
One tear for the hole
One tear for the blood
One tear for the scream
One tear for the sirens
One tear for the pain
One tear for the cracks
One tear for the lost
And one cry form the bullet
2Broken crystals
Looks so perfect from the outside
Like a crystal chandeliers.
Yet when it breaks
It shatters into millions,
Of pieces that you can’t put together
Look at this mess you have caused,
To an innocent piece of crystal
From being polished and shiny,
To lying broken on this ground
Like it was never meant to
Make it through this day
You seem sorry and guilty,
But what a laughable thing
What’s done is done.
Nothing that your sadness can unmake
But it makes me wonder,
If this never took place
Would you have done it all over again,
Knowing the consequences
Or would you have left it,
To shine as long as it can
Like a ballet dancer wanting
To shine between thousands of
Petals on the pink stage
In front of the world to watch her shine.

5 films that promote the lesbian cause
Screenshot from Todd Haynes’ movie “Carol”, 2015.
Each year many films are released in cinemas or on streaming platforms. Among them, very few focus on the LGBT community and more particularly lesbians, even if their representation tends to develop. Let’s take a look back at 5 striking and important films on Sapphic relationships.
1- “Carol” by Todd Haynes, 2015
1950s, New York. Thérèse, a young employee of a department store meets Carol, a charismatic woman, married and mother of a little girl. Unfortunately, this one finds herself locked in her marriage and this meeting will change everything for the two women. As soon as they meet, an attraction is born and turns into a forbidden love. Since the conventions of the time were conservative and homosexuality rejected, they had no choice but to go into hiding.
“Carol” was adapted from Patricia Highsmith’s book of the same name. It is a strong and poignant story that cannot be left unscathed. In addition, Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara’s acting is striking. It is anchored today as a classic among LGBT films.
2- “Portrait of the young girl on fire” by Céline Sciamma, 2019
1770, France. Marianne, a young painter, is to paint the wedding portrait of Heloise. The young woman has just left the convent and must marry a Milanese nobleman. In resistance to this marriage, Héloïse refuses to pose. Introduced as her new lady-in-waiting, Marianne looks at her, analyzes her and memorizes her features in order to paint her in secret. Only, she cannot continue to lie to Heloise any longer as their bond strengthens and love is born between them.
The film received the Screenplay Award at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival and received critical acclaim. The beauty of the scenes gives the impression of being in a painting for the duration of the film. Poetic and artistic, “Portrait of the Girl on Fire” is a true masterpiece.
3- “Ammonite” by Francis Lee, 2020
1840, England. Mary Anning was a renowned paleontologist but now lives with her mother in a remote location on the rugged south coast of England. She continues to glean ammonites which she then sells to wealthy visitors. One day, she meets Roderick Murchison, a wealthy tourist who asks her to take care of his convalescent wife Charlotte during her business trip. Reluctant at first to meet up with this one, she ends up accepting and begins a passionate affair between the two women.
“Ammonite” defies social barriers and signs a story unlike anything we’ve seen before. With Kate Winslet, Saoirse Ronan and Fiona Show, the cast turns out to be very astonishing. The film is all tenderness and delicacy.
4- “La Belle saison” by Catherine Corsini, 2015
1971, Paris. Delphine, a farmer’s daughter who has always lived in the countryside, decides to leave for Paris in order to emancipate herself and be financially independent. Carole is in a relationship with Manuel and is a Spanish teacher. Very committed to the beginning of feminism, she is part of the Women’s Liberation Movement (MLF) in which Delphine will take part. From there, their relationship will evolve and the two of them will have a great love story until one day reality catches up with them.
The historical background of the 1970s with the empowerment of women who are beginning to make their voices heard and to fight for their rights is an asset in this film. In addition to following two women who discover and tame each other, we find ourselves confronted with the harsh reality of Sapphic relationships: the fear of the gaze of the other.
5- “A secret love” by Chris Bola, 2020
Documentary available on Netflix, “A Secret Love” tells the story of Terry and Pat, two octogenarians whose love has been kept secret for a long time. Met in 1947, they spent more than 70 years of their life together. Both have known the repression of lesbianism, in a context like that, they did not accept this term qualifying them. They lived together but called each other “cousins” or “friends” when they had to talk about each other to someone outside. It wasn’t until the end of their lives that they celebrated their love by getting married a few months before Terry died.
Homosexuality in old age is rarely shown. This documentary highlights the type of discrimination that older lesbian women can experience, such as a retirement home that accepts their marriage. The generation that this film shows us is the one that was keen to protect itself, to remain hidden even if that meant silencing part of its identity. Their story is truly touching and endearing.

Jill Hollander was 9 when, during a visit to her cardiologist with her parents, he asked her to step outside so he could speak alone with her parents.
Nonsense, she thought.
“I want to be in the room too,” she told them. “It’s about me, and I have a right to be here.”
Now 40, Hollander vividly remembers that moment. Not because of the news the doctor shared—she doesn’t even recall it—but because…
