Oh my god, I wish they'd do that here. I'm the secret magic cute girlfriend elf that does it in my household. Pain in the butt.

Thanks for the recommend. I'll have to check it out.

I hope not as well, Declan. But, as you said, that's a long time to be friends with a child trafficker. He must have known.

Dang! He was a "god" to many when I was studying linguistics 50 years ago. And I've admired him ever since. But now? The stain of patriarchy touches so many more men (and women) than we realize.

He implied in an interview on The Daily Beast that Virginia Giuffre wrote her book for the money despite the fact that she's now dead and can't spend it. That was it for me.

Wow, I would love to walk a shoreline like that. Lucky little Spudlet 💕.

Great review of the '70s, a decade I remember living thru, both in terms of progress made and the pushback by the Moral Majority and others. It took Reagan getting elected in '80 for me to finally let go of smoking weed. As a Federal gov't employee, I didn't want to get caught. Thanks for sharing.
