Eighteenth-century pornography was surprisingly progressive, challenging gender roles and the very definition of sex. This week, we talk to Dr Kathleen Lubey about that, plus dildos, gender fluidity, LGBTQ+ content, female empowerment, and the link to modern Romance novels.

This is a disgrace. The College Board literally erases LGBTQ+ African Americans from their AP AA History framework. One fleeting reference to Bayard Rustin being gay and one to black lesbians feeling left out of the civil rights movement. That's it, in 230+ pages! No James Baldwin, Marsha P. Norman, Audre Lorde or Lorraine Hansberry. Then the College Board gaslights that DeSantis had no effect on these cuts. #AfricanAmericanHistory #CollegeBoard #LGBTQHistory #Erased https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/01/us/college-board-advanced-placement-african-american-studies.html
