Link garden
Because my real garden got just a bit crisped last week and nothing is at its best for photographing. But my purple prose can always bloom in service to the garden of blogular delights:
Australian Misogyny Week
It’s very depressing to read/listen/watch Australian media this week. I posted yesterday on the gang of youths that assaulted a developmentally delayed 17-year-old girl, forcing her to give them oral sex, urinating on her and setting her hair on fire…. Read More ›
