How much are the kids being experimented on?  –  R.J. Cross

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!

You can literally sell shit in a can, wrapped in piss, covered in human skin, for a billion dollars if the story’s right, because people will buy it.  –  Chase Herro

Now, even those with nothing useful to say can tell the whole world exactly, or more often vaguely, what they think.  –  Lane Brown

Ciaramella; Ryan Cooper; and Mike Masnick, in that order.

I’ve always been dedicated to the idea of this as the time of year for spooky fun.  So every year I collect all the spooky, creepy or scary content from the previous year into one place just before Halloween.  If you’ve come to my blog in the past year, or don’t remember previous editions, they are “Trick or Treat”, “More Trick or Treat“, “Tricks and Treats“, “This Trick’s a Treat”, “Tricky Treats“, “A Trickle of Treats”, “Tricking and Treating“, “Tricks for the Treat“, “Tricked Out Treats“, “Tricks and Treats and Such Small Deer“, “Trick Treatment“, and “Treats and Tricks“.  Horror, death or Halloween-themed columns of the past year included Diary #763, “The X-Files“, “The X-Files, Continued“, Diary #781, and “Gere Curam Mei Finis“, and there are creepy or spooky-fun videos in Links #747, #750, #787, and #798.  A collection of seasonal links and creepy tweets appears below.
