There is a few, some with long words that I can’t pronounce.
– Kimberly “Science” Coates
Yesterday would have been Grace’s 67th birthday; last year I observed the occasion with the song I used for her ringtone, so this year I decided to use one she sang around the house quite often in the months before her passing (any reference to today’s two obituaries is strictly coincidental). The links above the video were provided by Ryan Marino, Mike Siegel, Clarissa, Popehat, Franklin Harris, Kevin Wilson, and IncarcerNation, 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!
