It Will Only Encourage Him (2)
Patrons are reminded that this rickety barge is kept afloat by the kindness of strangers. If you’d like to help it remain buoyant for a while longer, there’s an orange button below with which to monetise any love for this low establishment. Debit and credit cards are of course accepted. For those wishing to express their love regularly, there’s a monthly subscription option top left. Additionally, any Amazon shopping done via this link or the search widget top right, or for Amazon US via this link, results in a small fee for your host at no extra cost to you.
For newcomers wishing to know more about what’s been going on here for the last eight years or so, the reheated series and greatest hits are good places to start. There you’ll find wonderfully neurotic tips on interracial dating; a not-at-all-racist Guardian columnist complaining that living among white people is a “psychic burden” and worse than being mugged; and a Marxoid academic attempting to make you feel guilty for reading to your children and thereby causing “unfair disadvantage.” You’ll also find some unconvincing nostalgia for collective parenting in an Islington squat, some bizarre misremembering of a popular 70s sitcom, and a terribly radical artist who’s subverting “oppressive discourses” by, er, amplifying his trousers.
If you can, do take a moment to poke through the discussion threads. The posts are intended as starting points, not full stops, and the comments are where much of the good stuff is waiting to be found. And do please join in.
Again, thanks for the support, the comments, and the company.
“amplifying his trousers”
I wonder what would be the response of Lord Vetinari, Patrician of Ankh-Morpork. Something entertaining, I’m sure.
I’ve been lurking for ages and just wanted to say thanks for a great blog. Token of appreciation in your tip jar.
All tokens appreciated. It’s what keep this place here.
Monday ok? And here’s a shrieking crybaby courtesy of Ace: http://acecomments.mu.nu/?post=359966 WAH! WE DON’T WANT FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION! WAH!
And don’t miss the comments on little crybaby’s article in the Yale Herald:

Fan of your blog, David. Have tipped accordingly.
Mojo’s Yale Herald link has been down all morning. These are America’s best and brightest? Can’t keep a student newspaper web site up and running in the prime hours of a weekend day?
Done. Thanks for reading the Guardian so we don’t have to.
Money sent. Your sapphic minions shall eat tonight.
Thanks to all who’ve tickled the tip jar, or subscribed, or done shopping via the Amazon widget. It’s much appreciated. I feel a warm glow of belovedness.
Yale Herald now showing a 403 “IP Forbidden” error. Sounds like those firewall rules got tightened up considerably. Like nobody except Yale addresses.
I think THE FEAR has hit them.
A little late to the party, but happy to donate. Few things on the interweb gives me more pleasure to see a new post from David.
Have stuffed a few notes in your jar.
Note stuffing complete. You have one of the few sites I consider indispensable.
Bit late but happy to chip in. Keep up the good work, David.
