Julia Tabor Whore ❤️

About Plzen

Here’s a kicker—didja know “whore” comes from Old English, “hore”? Meant “adulterer” way back—ain’t that wild? Language twists, turns, screws ya up. Nowadays, it’s slung at anybody—makes me wanna holler, “Ease up, jackass!” Gets me riled, seein’ it weaponized. But—ha—sometimes it’s funny, too. Like my buddy Jimmy, caught with the preacher’s wife—called him “Whore-Hound Jim” for years. Laughed ‘til I cried.

Biographical background and publication

At the outset of The Ballad of Baby Doe, Augusta appears as the respectable woman. (the virgin), and Baby Doe as the sexualized other (the whore).

I gotta mention some hidden corners: like that tiny mural on the side of an old brick building at U Lesa. It always makes me laugh; such an odd mix of graffiti and art, surreal like a dream sequence. I remember freakin' out once when suddenly random street performers popped up in the square for a flash show—heart racing, yet oddly exhilaratin'. It felt like a mini adventure.

Opinion: Steve Pomerance: The Legislature is trying to end TABOR without putting it on the ballot
