The big thing is just how dangerous this is. – Jeremiah Fowler
While looking for a video to feature in this column, I discovered that Blondie drummer Clem Burke had passed on; since his work is prominent in what is probably my favorite Blondie song, here it is. The links above the video were provided by Franklin Harris, Popehat, IncarcerNation (x2), Mike Masnick, Lenore Skenazy, and Franklin Harris 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!
