edition, titled &#8220;Body of Work,&#8221; centers The Log Books, a collection built from Switchboard&#8217;s archived call records<\/p>\n<p>Visitors can take home a complimentary book at each location with no purchase required, while stocks last<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>Aesop is bringing its sixth annual Queer Library to London\u2018s Soho from July 3 to 5, expanding the initiative this year with a concurrent Reading Room at Aesop Spitalfields and a follow-up Reading Room at Aesop Brighton from July 31 to August 2. The 2026 edition, titled \u201cBody of Work,\u201d puts queer literary voices at the center of the brand\u2019s retail spaces rather than treating them as a seasonal footnote.<\/p>\n<p>Aesop\u2019s relationship with the written word runs deeper than a marketing hook. The brand takes its name from the ancient Greek fabulist, a nod to storytelling that has shaped its identity since its 1987 founding in Melbourne. That literary foundation gives the Queer Library a certain internal logic: a beauty brand named after a master storyteller using its stores to platform voices that publishing and mainstream culture have historically pushed to the margins.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s focus on Switchboard sharpens that mission considerably. The UK\u2019s national LGBTQIA+ support line has operated as a volunteer-led helpline since 1974 and has supported four million people over five decades. The Library\u2019s featured title, <em>The Log Books<\/em>, pulls directly from that history, built by Tash Walker and Adam Zmith from dozens of call logs discovered in a crawlspace at Switchboard\u2019s offices and spanning four decades of conversations. The authors describe the result as a living, breathing diary of queer life across the country and across time, a description that reframes what a beauty retailer\u2019s in-store activation can hold. As Walker and Zmith put it, the project let a new generation finally understand their elders\u2019 stories, \u201cwe knew them, and finally we could hold each other against the tides of time.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>The format keeps the emphasis on access over commerce. At Aesop Soho, product shelves make way entirely for books during the Library\u2019s run, while Spitalfields and Brighton dedicate in-store space to the full title selection. Every visitor across all three locations can select a complimentary book to take home, no purchase necessary, while stocks last. The Aesop Foundation is extending that support beyond the shelf this year, donating to both Switchboard and Not a Phase, a nationwide charity supporting the trans+ community, tying the activation\u2019s cultural gesture to direct financial backing.\n<\/p>\n<p>The Aesop Queer Library runs at Aesop Soho until July 5, with a concurrent Reading Room at Aesop Spitalfields the same weekend, followed by a Reading Room at Aesop Brighton from July 31 to August 2.\n<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Aesop Queer Library, Soho<\/strong><br \/>\nAesop Soho, 41 Lexington Street<br \/>\nLondon W1F 9AJ\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aesop Queer Reading Room, Spitalfields<\/strong><br \/>\nAesop Spitalfields, 75-77 Brushfield Street<br \/>\nLondon E1 6AA\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aesop Queer Reading Room, Brighton<\/strong><br \/>\n104-105 Gloucester Road, Brighton and Hove<br \/>\nBrighton BN1 4AP<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6751013\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>LIND x Cesar Equipment Strap 27 Horsepower to a Limited-Edition Surfboard\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6752083\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>STARBUCKS STAND by BEAMS Extends to Outdoor Furniture With a Four-Piece Coleman Collection\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"city-related-posts-wrapper\" id=\"post-body-city-related-post\">\n<h3>\n        Find out more for London<br \/>\n    <\/h3>\n<div class=\"swiper-container\">\n<div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n<div id=\"city-related-post-1\">\n<div id=\"post-6749083\" class=\"post-box-container city-box post-box-presented-by \" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2026\/7\/evian-ed-curtis-london-hypebeast-visits-info\" data-title=\"Ed Curtis on the Surprises That Lie Beneath His evian\u00ae Collaboration\" data-post-box data-layer-item-id=\"6749083\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\">\n<div class=\"post-box-image-container fixed-ratio-3-2\"><source media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F07%2F06%2Fevian-ed-curtis-london-hypebeast-visits-info-0.jpg?fit=max&amp;cbr=1&amp;q=90&amp;w=375&amp;h=250 1x, https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F07%2F06%2Fevian-ed-curtis-london-hypebeast-visits-info-0.jpg?fit=max&amp;cbr=1&amp;q=90&amp;w=500&amp;h=333 2x\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-box-content-container\">\n<div class=\"post-box-content-title\">\n<h2><span>Ed Curtis on the Surprises That Lie Beneath His evian\u00ae Collaboration<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-box-content-presented-by\">Presented by<br \/>\n                                                                            evian\n                                                                    <\/div>\n<div class=\"post-box-content-excerpt\">\n                                Hypebeast stops by the creative\u2019s East London studio to find out how he\u2019s applying new mixed media processes to his textile artwork.\n                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n<div id=\"city-related-post-2\">\n<div id=\"post-6747504\" class=\"post-box-container city-box \" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2026\/7\/slawn-central-cee-clint419-front-hassan-hajjajs-new-london-show\" data-title=\"Slawn, Central Cee &amp;

this year with a concurrent Reading Room at Aesop Spitalfields and a follow-up Reading Room at Aesop Brighton from July 31 to August 2. The 2026 edition, titled \u201cBody of Work,\u201d puts queer literary voices at the center of the brand\u2019s retail spaces rather than treating them as a seasonal footnote.<\/p>\n<p>Aesop\u2019s relationship with the written word runs deeper than a marketing hook. The brand takes its name from the ancient Greek fabulist, a nod to storytelling that has shaped its identity since its 1987 founding in Melbourne. That literary foundation gives the Queer Library a certain internal logic: a beauty brand named after a master storyteller using its stores to platform voices that publishing and mainstream culture have historically pushed to the margins.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s focus on Switchboard sharpens that mission considerably. The UK\u2019s national LGBTQIA+ support line has operated as a volunteer-led helpline since 1974 and has supported four million people over five decades. The Library\u2019s featured title, <em>The Log Books<\/em>, pulls directly from that history, built by Tash Walker and Adam Zmith from dozens of call logs discovered in a crawlspace at Switchboard\u2019s offices and spanning four decades of conversations. The authors describe the result as a living, breathing diary of queer life across the country and across time, a description that reframes what a beauty retailer\u2019s in-store activation can hold. As Walker and Zmith put it, the project let a new generation finally understand their elders\u2019 stories, \u201cwe knew them, and finally we could hold each other against the tides of time.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>The format keeps the emphasis on access over commerce. At Aesop Soho, product shelves make way entirely for books during the Library\u2019s run, while Spitalfields and Brighton dedicate in-store space to the full title selection. Every visitor across all three locations can select a complimentary book to take home, no purchase necessary, while stocks last. The Aesop Foundation is extending that support beyond the shelf this year, donating to both Switchboard and Not a Phase, a nationwide charity supporting the trans+ community, tying the activation\u2019s cultural gesture to direct financial backing.\n<\/p>\n<p>The Aesop Queer Library runs at Aesop Soho until July 5, with a concurrent Reading Room at Aesop Spitalfields the same weekend, followed by a Reading Room at Aesop Brighton from July 31 to August 2.\n<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Aesop Queer Library, Soho<\/strong><br \/>\nAesop Soho, 41 Lexington Street<br \/>\nLondon W1F 9AJ\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aesop Queer Reading Room, Spitalfields<\/strong><br \/>\nAesop Spitalfields, 75-77 Brushfield Street<br \/>\nLondon E1 6AA\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aesop Queer Reading Room, Brighton<\/strong><br \/>\n104-105 Gloucester Road, Brighton and Hove<br \/>\nBrighton BN1 4AP<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6751013\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>LIND x Cesar Equipment Strap 27 Horsepower to a Limited-Edition Surfboard\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6752083\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>STARBUCKS STAND by BEAMS Extends to Outdoor Furniture With a Four-Piece Coleman Collection\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"city-related-posts-wrapper\" id=\"post-body-city-related-post\">\n<h3>\n        Find out more for London<br \/>\n    <\/h3>\n<div class=\"swiper-container\">\n<div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n<div id=\"city-related-post-1\">\n<div id=\"post-6749083\" class=\"post-box-container city-box post-box-presented-by \" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2026\/7\/evian-ed-curtis-london-hypebeast-visits-info\" data-title=\"Ed Curtis on the Surprises That Lie Beneath His evian\u00ae Collaboration\" data-post-box data-layer-item-id=\"6749083\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\">\n<div class=\"post-box-image-container fixed-ratio-3-2\"><source media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F07%2F06%2Fevian-ed-curtis-london-hypebeast-visits-info-0.jpg?fit=max&amp;cbr=1&amp;q=90&amp;w=375&amp;h=250 1x, https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F07%2F06%2Fevian-ed-curtis-london-hypebeast-visits-info-0.jpg?fit=max&amp;cbr=1&amp;q=90&amp;w=500&amp;h=333 2x\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-box-content-container\">\n<div class=\"post-box-content-title\">\n<h2><span>Ed Curtis on the Surprises That Lie Beneath His evian\u00ae Collaboration<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-box-content-presented-by\">Presented by<br \/>\n                                                                            evian\n                                                                    <\/div>\n<div class=\"post-box-content-excerpt\">\n                                Hypebeast stops by the creative\u2019s East London studio to find out how he\u2019s applying new mixed media processes to his textile artwork.\n                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n<div id=\"city-related-post-2\">\n<div id=\"post-6747504\" class=\"post-box-container city-box \" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2026\/7\/slawn-central-cee-clint419-front-hassan-hajjajs-new-london-show\" data-title=\"Slawn, Central Cee &amp;

this year with a concurrent Reading Room at Aesop Spitalfields and a follow-up Reading Room at Aesop Brighton from July 31 to August 2. The 2026 edition, titled \u201cBody of Work,\u201d puts queer literary voices at the center of the brand\u2019s retail spaces rather than treating them as a seasonal footnote.<\/p>\n<p>Aesop\u2019s relationship with the written word runs deeper than a marketing hook. The brand takes its name from the ancient Greek fabulist, a nod to storytelling that has shaped its identity since its 1987 founding in Melbourne. That literary foundation gives the Queer Library a certain internal logic: a beauty brand named after a master storyteller using its stores to platform voices that publishing and mainstream culture have historically pushed to the margins.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s focus on Switchboard sharpens that mission considerably. The UK\u2019s national LGBTQIA+ support line has operated as a volunteer-led helpline since 1974 and has supported four million people over five decades. The Library\u2019s featured title, <em>The Log Books<\/em>, pulls directly from that history, built by Tash Walker and Adam Zmith from dozens of call logs discovered in a crawlspace at Switchboard\u2019s offices and spanning four decades of conversations. The authors describe the result as a living, breathing diary of queer life across the country and across time, a description that reframes what a beauty retailer\u2019s in-store activation can hold. As Walker and Zmith put it, the project let a new generation finally understand their elders\u2019 stories, \u201cwe knew them, and finally we could hold each other against the tides of time.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>The format keeps the emphasis on access over commerce. At Aesop Soho, product shelves make way entirely for books during the Library\u2019s run, while Spitalfields and Brighton dedicate in-store space to the full title selection. Every visitor across all three locations can select a complimentary book to take home, no purchase necessary, while stocks last. The Aesop Foundation is extending that support beyond the shelf this year, donating to both Switchboard and Not a Phase, a nationwide charity supporting the trans+ community, tying the activation\u2019s cultural gesture to direct financial backing.\n<\/p>\n<p>The Aesop Queer Library runs at Aesop Soho until July 5, with a concurrent Reading Room at Aesop Spitalfields the same weekend, followed by a Reading Room at Aesop Brighton from July 31 to August 2.\n<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Aesop Queer Library, Soho<\/strong><br \/>\nAesop Soho, 41 Lexington Street<br \/>\nLondon W1F 9AJ\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aesop Queer Reading Room, Spitalfields<\/strong><br \/>\nAesop Spitalfields, 75-77 Brushfield Street<br \/>\nLondon E1 6AA\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aesop Queer Reading Room, Brighton<\/strong><br \/>\n104-105 Gloucester Road, Brighton and Hove<br \/>\nBrighton BN1 4AP<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6751013\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>LIND x Cesar Equipment Strap 27 Horsepower to a Limited-Edition Surfboard\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6752083\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>STARBUCKS STAND by BEAMS Extends to Outdoor Furniture With a Four-Piece Coleman Collection\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"city-related-posts-wrapper\" id=\"post-body-city-related-post\">\n<h3>\n        Find out more for London<br \/>\n    <\/h3>\n<div class=\"swiper-container\">\n<div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n<div id=\"city-related-post-1\">\n<div id=\"post-6749083\" class=\"post-box-container city-box post-box-presented-by \" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2026\/7\/evian-ed-curtis-london-hypebeast-visits-info\" data-title=\"Ed Curtis on the Surprises That Lie Beneath His evian\u00ae Collaboration\" data-post-box data-layer-item-id=\"6749083\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\">\n<div class=\"post-box-image-container fixed-ratio-3-2\"><source media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F07%2F06%2Fevian-ed-curtis-london-hypebeast-visits-info-0.jpg?fit=max&amp;cbr=1&amp;q=90&amp;w=375&amp;h=250 1x, https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F07%2F06%2Fevian-ed-curtis-london-hypebeast-visits-info-0.jpg?fit=max&amp;cbr=1&amp;q=90&amp;w=500&amp;h=333 2x\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-box-content-container\">\n<div class=\"post-box-content-title\">\n<h2><span>Ed Curtis on the Surprises That Lie Beneath His evian\u00ae Collaboration<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-box-content-presented-by\">Presented by<br \/>\n                                                                            evian\n                                                                    <\/div>\n<div class=\"post-box-content-excerpt\">\n                                Hypebeast stops by the creative\u2019s East London studio to find out how he\u2019s applying new mixed media processes to his textile artwork.\n                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n<div id=\"city-related-post-2\">\n<div id=\"post-6747504\" class=\"post-box-container city-box \" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2026\/7\/slawn-central-cee-clint419-front-hassan-hajjajs-new-london-show\" data-title=\"Slawn, Central Cee &amp;

The 2026 edition, titled \u201cBody of Work,\u201d puts queer literary voices at the center of the brand\u2019s retail spaces rather than treating them as a seasonal footnote.<\/p>\n<p>Aesop\u2019s relationship with the written word runs deeper than a marketing hook. The brand takes its name from the ancient Greek fabulist, a nod to storytelling that has shaped its identity since its 1987 founding in Melbourne. That literary foundation gives the Queer Library a certain internal logic: a beauty brand named after a master storyteller using its stores to platform voices that publishing and mainstream culture have historically pushed to the margins.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s focus on Switchboard sharpens that mission considerably. The UK\u2019s national LGBTQIA+ support line has operated as a volunteer-led helpline since 1974 and has supported four million people over five decades. The Library\u2019s featured title, <em>The Log Books<\/em>, pulls directly from that history, built by Tash Walker and Adam Zmith from dozens of call logs discovered in a crawlspace at Switchboard\u2019s offices and spanning four decades of conversations. The authors describe the result as a living, breathing diary of queer life across the country and across time, a description that reframes what a beauty retailer\u2019s in-store activation can hold. As Walker and Zmith put it, the project let a new generation finally understand their elders\u2019 stories, \u201cwe knew them, and finally we could hold each other against the tides of time.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>The format keeps the emphasis on access over commerce. At Aesop Soho, product shelves make way entirely for books during the Library\u2019s run, while Spitalfields and Brighton dedicate in-store space to the full title selection. Every visitor across all three locations can select a complimentary book to take home, no purchase necessary, while stocks last. The Aesop Foundation is extending that support beyond the shelf this year, donating to both Switchboard and Not a Phase, a nationwide charity supporting the trans+ community, tying the activation\u2019s cultural gesture to direct financial backing.\n<\/p>\n<p>The Aesop Queer Library runs at Aesop Soho until July 5, with a concurrent Reading Room at Aesop Spitalfields the same weekend, followed by a Reading Room at Aesop Brighton from July 31 to August 2.\n<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Aesop Queer Library, Soho<\/strong><br \/>\nAesop Soho, 41 Lexington Street<br \/>\nLondon W1F 9AJ\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aesop Queer Reading Room, Spitalfields<\/strong><br \/>\nAesop Spitalfields, 75-77 Brushfield Street<br \/>\nLondon E1 6AA\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aesop Queer Reading Room, Brighton<\/strong><br \/>\n104-105 Gloucester Road, Brighton and Hove<br \/>\nBrighton BN1 4AP<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-author d-block d-lg-none\">\n<hr class=\"sidebar-divider share-divider\">\n<h6>Text By<\/h6>\n<p><span class=\"author-name\">Sophie Caraan<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-credentials d-block d-lg-none\">\n<hr class=\"sidebar-divider\">\n<div class=\"credential\">\n<h6>Editor Assistant<\/h6>\n<p><span>Thu Tran<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-share d-block d-lg-none\">\n<hr class=\"sidebar-divider\">\n<h6>Share this article<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"brand-post-body-widget\">\n<hr class=\"sidebar-divider d-block d-lg-none\">\n<h6>In This Article<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-content-tags\">\n<div class=\"body collapsed\">\n<p>    AesopLondonAesop Queer Library\n                                                            <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2026\/7\/aesop-queer-library-london-2026-dates-opening-info&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F07%2F03%2FtwAesop-Queer-Library-London-2026-Dates-Opening-Info.jpg?w=1080&amp;cbr=1&amp;q=90&amp;fit=max&#8221;] Design Jul 4, 2026 1.1K Views 0\u00a0Comments Comments Save Text By Sophie Caraan Editor Assistant Thu Tran Share this article In This Article 1 of 12 Aesop 2 of 12 Aesop 3 of 12 Aesop 4 of 12 Aesop 5 of 12 Aesop 6 of 12 Aesop 7 of 12 Aesop 8 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[226,39],"class_list":["post-2040584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-crawlmanager","tag-hypebeast-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2040584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2040584"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2040584\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2040584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2040584"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2040584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
