The Honest Courtesan

Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow.  –  SiegedSec

Since I’ve featured a number of Batman-related videos lately (both here and in my “Video of the Day” feature on Twitter & BlueSky), I figured I’d share this one, performed by Burt Ward but written and produced by none other than Frank Zappa.  The links above it were provided by IncarcerNation (x2); Radley Balko; Phoenix Calida; Franklin Harris and Gustavo Turner; and IncarcerNation again, 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!
