I don’t understand why this won’t embed…
Boingboing has posted this before - it’s a story from seven years ago.
I’m searching for myself right now.
Probably because it’s an webp, an image format developed/pushed by Google, that is only supported by some browsers.
Must have gotten enough views back then to make it worthwhile to recycle now.
She blew a good opportunity to start anew. Should have pointed to a cliff or some deep hole and suggest to others “Maybe she fell down there, to her death… she’s gone… yep… that’s the last we’ll ever see of her.” then be on her merry way , unshackled from the burdens of her previous life , free of her chrysalis to become whatever she wants.
Fuck knows I would.
Reminds me of this parable:
“Ten men were crossing a fast river and when they reached the other side they started counting themselves to make sure that all had reached the other side safely. Each one counted but found only nine because he did not count himself, and they became very worried. Just at that time a holy man passed by and looking at their miserable faces asked what was wrong; they told him and demonstrated how there were only nine of them, though they had started as ten. He made them stand in a line and with his stick he hit the first man once and separated him from the line. He hit the second one twice, and so on till the last one. He hit him ten times and declared he was the tenth one. They were very happy and went on their way.”

That’s how they should count votes at the RNC.
This is what I came looking for.
I’ve been searching for myself for over 50 years.
No luck so far.
I was gonna say…she got lost again?
This is what happens when there’s no group leader responsible for counting heads…
As I was reading this my mind jumped ahead, thinking that the man receiving 10 blows wouldn’t survive and then there really would be 9.
or at least use the buddy system.
This is like a Monty Python sketch brought to life.
