Today I'm writing about queer women's safer-sex activism (dental dams) again. What's the correct playlist to soundtrack writing about 'Making it'?

This is the 1988 revised edition held by the Wellcome library. #HistSex #LGBTQ

[Tbilisi Pride @TbilisiPride]

🚨This is alarming
10.03/GD chairman Kobakhidze mentioned ‘LGBT Propaganda’ as the danger.
12.03/PM @GharibashviliGe: “We know the provocative movement Tbilisi Pride, which intended to hold highly provocative events, so-called Parades. Do you remember this? This caused unrest.”

I have a chapter in this volume detailing illegal abortions, investigations and trials and the institutional blame game between the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Justice from 1936-1955! Can't wait to see it in print soon 📖

[Amanda (Williams) McNair 🇺🇦 @AMWilliams__]

Ya girl is going to be published in a wonderful edited volume on social control under Stalin and Khrushchev in 2023! My chapter will examine illegal abortion cases and how the Ministries of Health and Justice failed to cooperate together in state's first anti-abortion campaign

[Soviet Sex Podcast 🇺🇦 @SexSoviet]

Congratulations to @AMWilliams__! Can't wait to hear these episodes on the podcast.

Like beer? @NMBCo collaborated with Ukrainian chef @Olia_Hercules to create a plum and buckwheat porter. If in the UK - you can order online (or try at their Manchester or Leeds taprooms). 10/10 would recommend!

[Amanda (Williams) McNair 🇺🇦 @AMWilliams__]

Drinking the All One beer from @NMBCo that @Olia_Hercules helped to create at their Leeds taproom! All proceeds go to help Ukraine 🇺🇦 #SlavaUkraïni

More episodes about reproduction coming shortly! (@AMWilliams__ is in the process of editing them)

[Amanda (Williams) McNair 🇺🇦 @AMWilliams__]

This is my newest odd eBay purchase to add to my Soviet reproductive policies collection. This postcard is from 1959, right as Khrushchev's anti-abortion propaganda was beginning

[Amanda (Williams) McNair 🇺🇦 @AMWilliams__]

Does anyone know the copyright restrictions around Soviet postcards? I found this amazing one on eBay (will share pics soon!). I would love to use it for my (theoretical) future book cover

[Soviet Sex Podcast 🇺🇦 @SexSoviet]

This means a special podcast episode will be released when the chapter is! And hopefully Amanda can interview some of the other contributors 📖📚

[Amanda (Williams) McNair 🇺🇦 @AMWilliams__]

Received some peer review for my chapter in an edited volume - and it was all positive! A wonderful start to my morning.

[Amanda (Williams) McNair 🇺🇦 @AMWilliams__]

Just pulling together some resources. Does anyone have any good historiographical essays on Stalin, Khrushchev, de-Stalinization, etc.? If so, please let me know!

This work is just ridiculous by a UK demographer.... If you want to hear about the failed pronatalist tax in the USSR then check out our episode with Dr. Kristy Ironside! (Available on Google, apple, Spotify or other major podcast platforms)

[Jessica Lovett 🇺🇦 @jessicalovett17]

Can't get over how Soviet this is. A "tax on the childless", creating a “pro-natal culture", national days to celebrate parenthood, awards for large families etc. Unsurprisingly, none of it worked! https://t.co/Z3pcwDU4pq
