Until a deal fell through at least... hey, don't tell 'em you're with me. You'll be fine. We probably shouldn't be seen together, though, so uh... bye babe- "

I think one of the weirdest forgotten things from early in the pandemic is that for the first couple weeks the Republican governor of Ohio, Mike DeWine, was really good. And then he just caved to the pressure because his own party tried to destroy him (for trying to keep the people in his state safe).

Angus Wilson Lennie was born on April 18th 1930 in Glasgow.

Many of you of a certain age might remember Angus as Shughie McFee, the chef in Crossroads but others, myself included he will always be remembered as Archibald Ives, 'The Mole' in one of the best ever films, in my opinion, The Great Escape.

Lennie was born and brought up in Shettleston, in Glasgow's East End, where he attended Eastbank Academy he began in show business as a dancer and stand up comedian. He was a song and dance man by the age of 14, performing at the Glasgow Metropole and was then on the variety circuit prior to making the transition into stage acting at Perth Theatre in the late 1940's In 1957, he made his television debut in the Armchair Theatre play The Mortimer Touch.

Two years later, he was cast as the cabin boy Sunny Jim in the BBC Scotland comedy series Para Handy- Master Mariner the first of the Para Handy tales in 1959. Other TV roles through the years included, The Saint Dr Who, Z Cars, Rumpole of the Bailey, Lovejoy, The Onedin Line, All Night Long, Keeping Up Appearances and Monarch of the Glen.

On stage, he appeared in six pantomimes over 10 years with the comedian Stanley Baxter at the King's Theatres in Edinburgh and Glasgow, and toured the Far East with Derek Nimmo's company.

On the big screen as well as The Great Escape he was also in Oh What a Lovely War, 633 Squadron and The V.I.P.s alongside Richard Burton.

Lennie died on 14 September 2014 in Acton, West London, aged 84.

To understand why erotic novels engendered such outrage, we need to get our heads around Victorian sexuality. Male readers: imagine thinking of your body as a physiological economy with a finite amount of resources to “spend” (the most commonly used word for ejaculation in this era). Imagine being taught that every youthful sexual indulgence is an unmitigated evil which wastes your vital force and stunts your physical growth and mental development. Any kind of incontinence is dangerous, you believe, but none more so than masturbation, which will lead to jaundiced skin, eruptions of acne, a slouching gait, clammy palm, leaden eye, and the inability to look anyone in the eye. The fate of a compulsive masturbator is to become a drivelling idiot or insufferable hypochondriac. Even within the presumed safety of marriage, you will have to walk a tightrope between abstemiousness and gratification — have no sex and you’ll be ruined, but have too much and you’ll melt into a goo of despondency as the symptoms of “spermatorrhoea” (an umbrella term for diseases caused by a loss of semen) take hold, leading to heart disease and death.

It’s even worse for women. Female readers, imagine thinking of yourself as a sexless baby-producing machine, almost entirely devoid of any erotic desire and actually incapable of it during pregnancy when your baby will suck away your vital force from within. You will surrender to your husband’s desires only occasionally. Like men, you believe that sex serves a practical purpose — the population of the earth — but beyond that it is profoundly dangerous. Continence is the key. Your sex life is likely to be a sore and bitter trial.

These ideas, so farcical and objectionable to twenty-first-century eyes, are lifted — sometimes word for word — from Dr William Acton’s Functions and Disorders of the Reproductive Organs (1857), no radical polemic but mainstream medical opinion. Anyone deviating one iota from his worthy advice (memorably described by historian Steven Marcus in The Other Victorians [1966] as “part fantasy, part nightmare, part hallucination”) is either indifferent to their health or just plain low. It is only after we get our head around Dr Acton’s alien sexual precepts that we can begin to understand the hysterical tone that united police, press, and politicians in lambasting pornography. For Victorian pornography was not just a foil to Dr Acton’s belief system but its antithesis, presenting as it does a world of sexual riches where women are game for anything and men are “limitlessly endowed with that universal fluid currency which can be spent without loss”, as Marcus puts it. Even Ashbee calls pornographic works “poisons” in the preface to his bibliography, warning that they must be distinctly labelled and “confined to those who understand their potency”. They are also, of course, an incentive to dreaded masturbation. That is why men like William Dugdale had to be destroyed in hard-labour camps.

Matthew Green, from The Secret History of Holywell Street Home to Victorian London’s Dirty Book Trade, for The Public Domain Review, June 29, 2016. (This is such a great read)

Four years….little did we know that 4 years ago, we didn’t know what COVID-19 was until it hit us, turned our world upside down when everything shut down and we stayed home. It did turn our world upside down at times when we weren’t allowed to see each other in person and it changed us. 2020 may be the worst year but it taught us to stop and take good care of each other and ourselves. I want to thank all the essential workers that helped us during the early days of the pandemic; the nurses and doctors that reassured us (here’s looking at ya, Dr. Amy Acton and Dr. Fauci) during that difficult period of time, and President Biden for keeping us calm in the face of chaos and misinformation by Trump and the MAGAs. I also want to remember the 14.9 million loved ones that lost the battle to COVID around the world.

May those loved ones never be forgotten. And of course, that time back in 2023 when the world and the economy started opening back up, you parted ways with Bobby when you realized that he wasn’t for you…

And I’m proud of you for doing that, my love. Wasn’t easy but worth it.

I wish Bobby nothing but the best for him. And whoever is his girlfriend, he better treat her right. As for me…

I didn't around to posting about it yesterday what with the everything else but Dr. Amy Acton is running for governor of Ohio next year! This is a huge victory for people who predicted she would run for governor one day back in spring 2020 when she first started getting attention (me).

[rezingrave]

I'm really hep to the jive, got my finger on the pulse of popularity. Which is why of course the villain of this piece is a thinly veiled parody of a specific weird Victorian doctor. The people have been clamoring for more pornography featuring Dr. William Acton, Woman Understander.
