While this is an incredibly boring piece of information, it is also indicative of a larger trend: the looping of vitamins into the category of "self-care," the evolution of careful, watery language around semi-medical health choices, and the rebranding of something that used to sit in the most visually unstimulating aisle of the grocery store into something that can be performed and publicized — a beautiful ritual, shareable and satisfying regardless of what measurable effects it has on the body.

And the experience of finding both like-minded creators, and perhaps even more importantly, a potential audience, was electrifying. Tomkiw settled into the classic boho-punk circuit, living at home, going to school, working a series of unstimulating, low-wage jobs. She lived for nightlife, wrote like a demon, haunted bookstores and record stores, and spent her thin earnings on poetry and punk rock. In April 1980, Tomkiw and Sharon Mesmer, by now best friends and poetic accomplices, staged their first reading at the Paul Waggoner Gallery in Chicago. Later that summer, Tomkiw went to see a band called Trouble Boys at Jamie’s Elsewhere Lounge.

In a statement published by the Christian Science Sentinel on January 19, 1907, Eddy responded to the early installments in McClure's by challenging its description of her father, early family life, and the issues surrounding her marriages. McClure's had said that the Bible was the only book in the house when she was growing up; on the contrary, she wrote, her father was a great reader. To counter McClure's claim that her childhood home had provided a "lonely and unstimulating existence", her statement described the educational and professional achievements of her family. In response to McClure's description of her as bad tempered, she offered as an example of her kindness that a housekeeper of the family's had resigned because Eddy allowed a blind girl, who had knocked on the door and was unknown to the family, to stay with them.
