ooh, a Gus sighting.
Between the daily news and watching Lars Von Trier movies, my mind is going to very dark places.
I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than you.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Aimée, I knew a woman years ago in Alabama who had to share her parental rights with the sack of shit who had date-raped her AND been previously issued a restraining order after an arrest outside of her house.
The "moral" of that story is Run! Get that abortion! Faster! Now!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
If the state has already created such a hostile environment for abortions that there are only 800 performed a year, access for most women in the state has already been cut off.
Most of the women had to travel all the way to the Twin Cities, where they had to endure the 24-hour waiting period - you know, go in, get all sorts of scare-tactic literature, and then come back the next day for the abortion. Most women couldn't afford the time off, the travel, or the hotel room.
Yeah. Fuck.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I know Digg's not quite a barometer of the world at large, but I'm stunned by the reactions to Bodyworlds. I totally get not wanting to see it, but the depth of emotion of some of the responses startles me.

I thnk the moral of the story is, "Come to Canada! We will kill your babies and marry your gays!"

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
So, apartment is clean. Girl is enroute. I called in sick to work this morning because I couldn't sleep last night, work up tired as hell, and after yesterday's meeting, my motivation to actually go into work was non-existant.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
I was reading a book about the tactics of the Nazi Party in the Weimar Republic last night (which were, of course, mainly about consolidating executive power over legislative power and selling the general populace on the idea of scapegoating minorities) and breaking out in a cold sweat at some of the parallels employed by this new, weird Bushian branch of the Republican Party. Typical liberal stuff, I know, but lately I've been feeling more and more like Kurtz sometime before the story, gazing at the Heart of Darkness while it gazed back at him. I think I need a new job at the very least.

As opposed to "Come to our back-water polygamous town!" where they would do the exact opposite.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
That sound you just heard? Was my cousin exploding in rage and frustration in Sioux Falls.
Send her an e and let her know that I'm channeling my gratitude in her direction.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
