[I’ve] no recollection of personally ever throwing a petrol bomb.
–  James Duthoit

Longtime readers may recall that Shostakovich is one of my favorite composers, but I was unfamiliar with this piece until it was recently shared by Mike Siegel.  The links above it were provided by Franklin Harris (x2), Nun Ya, T. Greg Doucette (x2), IncarcerNation, and Missy Mariposa, 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!
