I feel the irksomeness of uncompanionedness. The weight of solitude and I am restless.

While reading to her, I said the book was too bad it made me cold. One word from her made me warmer than all de Sade had written.

@yeadon1020 Sibbella was very unwell at this time, and under the treatment of Mr Long in London. She died the following year so perhaps that is why she was thin.

[Miss McL] untied her petticoat for me to put my hand under of course I then got gently under the rest and gradually got my hand down to her queer

Anne Lister, 3 April 1829. A Happy Birthday indeed 😉

[Vagina Museum @vagina_museum]

On this day in 1791, landowner, diarist and open lesbian Anne Lister was born. Lister's diaries, written in cipher, featured frank accounts of her sex life using somewhat idiosyncratic references. Here's how to talk about vaginas like Anne Lister...

Happy birthday to #AnneLister, whose incredible life and legacy continue to inspire us all 🎉

You will find me a strange compound and a very great spice of mischief lurking in me

How I can still run after the ladies. She seems sensible & in my present dearth of people to speak I should well enough like to know more of her... if she were young & pretty should certainly scrape acquaintance.

I am indeed as happy as most people; and, with a keen sense both of pain and pleasure, am, perhaps, as philosophical as the nature of things can permit - Few are more contented; few more satisfied - I easily persuade myself, 'whatever is, is right'

But try me in my own county; - let Shibden be our court of assize, and punish, or acquit me there - Do you really, long to know me better? Come, and prove it -
