Ok this is for a very limited audience but I’m reading Immodest acts by Judith C. Brown and I AM LOSING MY MIND, so instead of harassing people in my life with screenshots I’m live-blogging this experience. Some of my favorite things mentioned in the book so far:

I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY THOUGHT IT WAS LIKE THE FUCK THE DEVIL SO BAD

The fucking jump to bestiality and then back to really mundane stuff is KILLING ME (also you know for a fact they would have considered a woman having sex on top an “unnatural position”)

“Woman can’t be attracted to other woman because men are too hot”

Anyway if you can, please pick up this book I’m 12 pages in and already having a blast and I haven’t even got to the main meat of the book yet!

I loved the nobility of your behaviour, the wisdom and purity of your soul, and your entire being, so much that many said: What are you doing?

Hildegard of Bingen to fellow nun Richardis of Stade, 1151
