Over at give_satisfaction on Dreamwidth, there are two new entries. Since so many stories make passing mention of Bertie Wooster having had sexual activities at Eton, I posted entries excerpted from Stephen Fry's childhood memoir, Moab Is My Washpot.

I recently read an essay defending P.G. Wodehouse’s Antisemitism, Wodehouse’s Antisemitism In Context by Elliot MiIlstein. It was reprinted in Plumtopia, a blog devoted to Wodehouse. It infuriated me. (Disclaimer: I’m not Jewish, however my spouse is.)
