A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Ha! I'm not an astrology person, but the career portion of today's horoscope reads

"Deep, gradual changes are happening, and you're nothing if not in tune with them. You may need to help someone else become equally at ease."

O RLY?!

Hee. For once, it's right (I know, I know -- statistical probability. But it amused me.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm really hoping this migraine is not a reaction to anything I ate at the food truck rally. Maybe the weather is to blame. Ugh.

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

Awww, you guys, I just saw a vid of the guy in NY who gave up his life savings to the rapture being taunted in Times Square. He seems so confused and broken. I wish I could bring him a sandwich.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Meep. My sister called from the road back up to Milwaukee. Apparently the highway to O'Hare is all screwed up because there are cattle all over the road. (Truck overturned I guess, sad.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Maybe the Rapture did happen after all--and the people who were raptured consists entirely of the folks who run the grilled cheese truck and french fry truck

I remain agnostic on the question of the Apple people, but of course if anyone's going to be bodily assumed into heaven, who brings more pure uncomplicated joy into the world than the grilled cheese and french fry truck people?

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

Oh geez, on an overpass. [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks, guys.

My new nurse was all "nice bra!" and "nice tattoo!" (on my sternum). Normally even the women leave the room. She didn't even pretend to look away.

Brenda, maybe the truck driver was raptured? Allyson, I feel kinda sorry for that poor dupe. I want stories about assholes proven wrong.

I feel bad for him, too. I mean, taunting? He's being punished enough for his own foolishness.

The guy taunting him asked if everyone will get their money back from Harold Camping. "Asked" is a kind way of putting it. It was the interview equivalent to rabbit punches to the kidney.

Stories about the dupes makes me wish there was a way to hold Harold Camping accountable.
