I'm really proud of our latest episode of Sexing History. We explore the belly dancing craze of the 1960s and 1970s. I hope you'll take a listen and share it. #histsex #twitterstorians

I want to take a moment and shine a bright light on our wonderful senior producer @Saniya1 who did so much research for this episode and did all of the interviews with the belly dancers involved! She does such fabulous and impeccable work for us! She's a rising start in #histsex
Sexing History is a team effort and you can learn more about us here:

I also want to thank @roxxanneraqs17 and @MychelleCrown for sharing their time and knowledge with us. They helped illuminate the history of belly dancing and immigration in nuanced and careful ways!
Check out Roxxanne's website here: roxxanne.net
As we mention in our podcast and our liner notes at sexinghistory.com we are indebted to other scholars such as Anne K Rasmussen, Anthony Shay and Barbara Sellers-Young.

I remember the 2011 election so well. I learned that I had lost my right to vote from abroad (because of CPC malfeasance). In the weeks after the election the only political party that would take my calls and was concerned about this affront to democracy was the @NDP
The @NDP was the first party to vocally work to re-enfranchise Canadian citizens living abroad. Five years later the @liberal_party also supported the rights of Canadians living abroad to vote.
The lone holdout and the cause of our disenfranchisement was of course @CPC_HQ
@NDP @liberal_party @CPC_HQ All of which is to say, if you believe the people should choose their politicians, you have plenty of political parties to vote for in this election. But if you like having politicians choose voters and take a dump on democracy, then @CPC_HQ is the party for you.

A big shout out to the @CPC_HQ! Your hypocrisy never ceases to astound me. You've actually made a dude with dual citizenship the head of your party after relentlessly questioning @M_Ignatieff's loyalty and citizenship. #cdnpoli

I love that the dual citizenship dude who looks eerily like Paul Finch from American Pie actually questioned the citizenship and fitness for service of Governor General @MichaelleJeanF. #cdnpoli #ItsOurVote

And goodness, @AndrewScheer is registered for selective service in the United States. Cool cool. Answer this question for those of us who actually served in Canada's military: Andrew, did you actually serve with us?

What school board policy on pregnant teachers looked like at midcentury in PA.

An example of the lengths school boards would go to in order to push out pregnant teachers and teachers seeking maternity leave at midcentury in PA. School boards would describe these women as incompetent and neglectful.

Source: The Express (Lock Haven PA) 27 Feb 1943
The 1943 PA Supreme Court decision created precedent and allowed other school boards to dismiss pregnant teachers on incompetence grounds.

Two callers prior to me suggested a 3rd party in USA. well...it's Q People! PRAEDICATE EVANGELIUM’ - July 26, 2019 by Ground Zero Media via #soundcloud soundcloud.com/groundzeromedi…
Last 1/2 of show discussed NWO/DJT/Demvs.Reps.
@ClydeLewis seemed dismayed over the polarization in US culture war/political theatre. Having legit concerns for #WeTePeople over the NWO dark powers pushing for one-world gov't. I said QAnon addresses MANY matters he discussed.

🔊 Yesterday I shared Qproofs.com w the largest late night radio 🔊audience on KXL... At 2:29:00 - 2:39:00. Got awkward. Discussed events & Q.

‘ AR-51 – STORM HYSTERIA 51 W/ RYAN GABLE’ - July 23, 2019 by Ground Zero Media via #soundcloud soundcloud.com/groundzeromedi…
I listened twice to this. Fyi, His audience is Sci-fi, Paranormal, Anti-DeepState, Truthers Clyde interrupted/dominated a bit claiming Q is Ai Technocult. I was courteous as a guest. Nonetheless I got some decent points in there about Qmap.pub search.
He has a LONG call-in radio show nightly. 7pm-12am PST
Search: Ground Zero Clyde Lewis 1-877-733-1011. Cool thing is his topics are varied. Huge audience actually is red-pilled in many ways. Once Q goes MAINSTREAM...Clyde may become a point person in the Great Awakening.

Today is the 46th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. I woke up and thanked the 1973 Supreme Court for making abortion legal, preventing women’s deaths, and making reproductive autonomy possible. Here’s to hoping the current and future Courts don’t take away that right.
Every Roe day, I see many Tweets about the anniversary or the Jane collective that helped women get abortions pre-Roe in Chicago. And I sigh because, y’all, there’s more to abortion history than Roe or Jane. #twitterstorians
That’s not to say that Roe and Jane aren’t important. But legalizing abortion was a long process with many actors. Change doesn’t just happen in courts. And (white) feminists weren’t the only people pushing it (and, yes, there were a few Black Janes). #twitterstorians

Femi you played an absolute blinder here.
The whole interview on #SoundCloud soundcloud.com/user-993664571…
I listened to a bit more of @IamSairaKhan and @EamonnHolmes.

Later on Saira said this:

She's fed up with " patronising intellectuals" and their details.

@StalinIsBack
1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
