The Honest Courtesan

Ibuprofen usually helps with the disembodied voices screaming in my mirror.  –  Kacey Ellis

Another example of, “If you want me to watch your commercial, make it funny or interesting”; I first saw this a while back, but Nun Ya recently tweeted it at me again.  The links above it were provided by Mark Bennett, The Onion, Cop Crisis, Scott Hechinger, Radley Balko, Ed Krayewski, and Joe Lancaster, in that order.

I find paywalls distasteful, and so many people find this blog valuable as a resource I just can’t bring myself to install one.  Furthermore, I find ad delivery services (whose content I have no say over) even more distasteful.  But as I’m now semi-retired from sex work, I can’t self-sponsor this blog by myself any longer.  So if you value my writing enough that you would pay to see it if it were paywalled, please consider subscribing; there are four different levels to fit all budgets.  Or if that doesn’t work for you, please consider showing your generosity with a one-time donation; you can Paypal to maggiemcneill@earthlink.net or else email me at the same address to make other arrangements.  Thanks so much!
