To Mildred, for German practice

Der Spiegel with a long and good article about Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, which is mainly focused on her as a pioneer in the fight against smallpox (the article is from this year, obvious parallels are obvious), but also contains a mention of her falling in love with Algarotti; his bisexuality and relationship with Fritz both are mentioned without euphemisms. Progress indeed!

Thank you! I read it yesterday, and it was a good article as well as good German practice.

I still need to read the bestiality article for practice, but that might have to wait.

Progress indeed!

Indeed! That was good to see.
