Shut the fuck up before I shoot you. – David Delgado
When I used to watch a lot of public TV in the late ’70s and early ’80s, our local PBS station played a lot of shorts between shows, many from the National Film Board of Canada; this one was played so often I got rather tired of it, but it’s been over 40 years since I’ve seen it and it’s certainly seasonal, so voilà. The links above it were provided by Mike Masnick; Popehat; Dan Savage and Marc Randazza; Lucy Steigerwald; and IncarcerNation (x3), 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!
