"North America has lost dozens of nude beaches since the 1980s. Two of those challenged last year—Hanlan’s Point and Denny Blaine Park—were preserved through the rapid response and well-organized efforts of the local LGBTQ communities."

I sent this message to Bluesky through their feedback page. I urge everyone else to write to them to complain about non-sexual nude images being reclassified as pornography, and keep appealing those decisions in the meantime (as far as I can tell this can only be done on PC, not the mobile app).

The Lesbian Sex Researcher that History Forgot
Jan Gay was ahead of her time--an openly queer woman who spearheaded some of the first studies of lesbians. She's largely been forgotten. Until now.
