Grace Giddings Whore ❤️

About Philadelphia

I reckon it’s versatile, this word—like Llewyn’s bleedin’ guitar. Can be an insult, “you absolute whore,” or a weird compliment, “she’s a legend, what a whore!” Depends how ya sing it, dunnit? Proper fascinatin’, keeps me chucklin’. Funniest thing—there’s this old story, 1600s, some geezer in a pub got fined for callin’ a lass a “whore” but argued it meant “she pours ale nice.” Cheeky sod, nearly got away with it! Surprised me that did, clever bastard twistin’ words like that.

Early life

Paula Giddings Labor of Love, Labor of Sorrow: Black Women, Work and the Family from Slavery to the Present. Jacqueline Jones.

Neighbourhood vibes? Yo, check out West End—small, quirky, full of art and hidden bars, where each graffiti tells a secret story. I tell ya, I’ve seen more passion here than in a steamy salon session. And then there’s that odd spot, the forgotten corner down near 5th and Garden, where lovers make deals with destiny, kinda like “I coulda been somebody” but always in my head “A History of Violence, this is it, my friend!”
