It's #LGBTHistoryMonth 
, as per usual I'll be posting #queer historical content daily. (I'm slowly recovering from covid, so I'm kicking off this time with something I wrote last year!) Day 1: The slippery history of the dental dam! #histsex #lgbtq

Day 2 #LGBTHM21 & today's queer historical object is me - a #queer historian - & my new project, 'What's love got to do with it?' exploring the history of HIV-affected family life & love in Edinburgh. Think #ItsASin but very Scottish & ending in 2016.

Day 3 #LGBTHM21 & I'm thinking about contrasting visions of #queer women's health encapsulated by two rather different books. 'Finger Licking Good: The ins & outs of lesbian sex' 1996, & 'Getting Pregnant Our Own Way: A guide to alternative insemination', 1987. #histsex

Day 4 of #LGBTHM21 & I'd like to draw your attention to
@JustJuno1's piece on the women who could have been included in #ItsASin. https://inews.co.uk/opinion/its-a-sin-is-beautiful-but-it-neglects-the-women-who-also-died-of-aids-848579
HIV+ women were fundamental to HIV activism, working within affected queer & straight communities.

Day 5 of #LGBTHM21 & you've got a weekend ahead of you so why not (re)read Stone Butch Blues? Available here freely https://www.lesliefeinberg.net/ because Feinberg knew how important it was to make #queer activist texts available to as many readers as possible.

Day 6 #LGBTHM21 & #Caturday so lets see cats used to add humour to #queer women's sexual health lit. Lothian Lesbian Line's 'Lesbian Sex, are you as safe as you think?' featured one imagining mouse flavoured condoms & Dykenosis Nov 96 'New Labia, New Danger?' one lazing on a bed.

Day 7 #LGBTHM21 & a Sunday so it's a school night, so my reading suggestion today is my article 'Getting around the rules of sex education' on #Section28 & teenagers' access to #LGBTQ inclusive #SexEd over the years. https://wellcomecollection.org/articles/WxZnZyQAAPoF1PS8

Day 8 #LGBTHM21 & it's a chilly Monday evening, so why not end the day with some @badgayspod? Specifically their excellent episode on Radclyffe Hall featuring @DrJanaFunke
#Queer history is about what we got wrong as well as right. https://badgayspod.podbean.com/e/radclyffe-hall/

Day 9 of #LGBTHM21 & it's still extremely cold outside so have an episode of #ThisIsLove podcast to listen to. Personal histories are very much part of #queer history. #LGBTQ https://thisislovepodcast.com/a-private-life

Day 10 of #LGBTHM21 & I offer you some *explicit* answers to the question 'what is lesbian sex?' from 'Lesbians talk (safer) sex' 1992. #histsex #LGBTQ
Because I am extremely extra, I once showed these pages to a date when she asked about my job.
Reader, she lives with me.

Day 11 of #LGBTHM21 so probably time to tell everyone to (re)watch Carol, the cinematic retelling of 1952 novel The Price of Salt. Don't believe me? Read this excellent thread from @CBradburyRance! #LGBTQ #QueerFilm
