i just spent a bunch of the late night/early morning reading xkcd. i need to go to sleep. It was still fun.
This post is another about Grandpa.
Good music for bad times: “Innocent Sea” from Seiken Densetsu 3 and “The Best Is Yet to Come” from Metal Gear Solid.
i just realized one thing may be triggering.
One last reason i’ve been off Tumblr
The first has caused the second, and this is how i try to calm down and keep myself away from others.
YouTube.
The main YouTubers i watch (though definitely not the only)? HCBailly, deceasedcrab, BlueXephos, and kurtjmac.
Oh, by the way: NPR. <33 i should turn my radio on more often. i should wake up earlier so i don’t miss international news and weekend morning programs. NPR is like a lovely sunrise i always am asleep during. </3
Another reason i’ve been off Tumblr (and elsewhere)
i’m afraid that negativity may be contagious. i don’t want to spread any of it.
When i’m on the Yadaforum, i often end up wishing something along the lines of being able to post anonymously. Without a face, name of any kind, or distinguishable voice, there’s less fear in saying things, even simple things.
We accept all girls in kindergarten through 12th grade as members. If a child identifies as a girl and the child’s family presents her as a girl, Girl Scouts of Colorado welcomes her as a Girl Scout. If a child is living as a girl, that’s good enough for us. We don’t require any proof of gender.

Looks like I’ll be buying a ton of cookies this year.
(via Shakesville article on various bigoted attacks on the GSA by religious groups & the right-wing blogosphere; trigger warning on that for cissexist, misogynist bullshit)

FINALLY, an excuse to gorge on Samoas and Trefoils!
(via darkjez)
i’m proud to have been a girl scout and i’m proud that all girls have a chance to be one. <3

Go, Floor!
I will be gorging on Tagalongs and Trefoils after we start seeing the cookie booths. Purr.
Cissexist bigot calls for a boycott of Girl Scout cookies, since the Girl Scouts include *all* girls, whether cisgender or not. I say, we have a Girl Scout buy-out instead, where we buy ALL the cookies to show our support for Girl Scouts of the USA's inclusiveness. →
Wow. Just… wow.
Taylor, who claims to have been a Girl Scout for eight years, says in the clip. “Girl Scouts describes itself as an all-girl experience. With that label, families trust that the girls will be in an environment that is not only nurturing and sensitive to girls’ needs, but also safe for girls.” … She goes on to note, “I am asking you to take action with me and boycott Girl Scout Cookies.” The video eventually concludes with a tagline for the Honest Girl Scouts site, which describes itself as a group “concerned with the alarming choices GSUSA has been making,” and “advocating for a change back to simply building girls of good character.”
GSUSA is still committed to building girls of good character. Better yet, GSUSA has finally taken a step forward to outspokenly, actively provide a safe, nurturing space for all girls. I’m genderqueer and I was a Girl Scout for 7+ years. Boycotting a GS fundraiser because of your bigotry is completely against everything you should have learned as a Girl Scout.
If someone has questions about GS cookies here’s a site that answers some cookie questions. The first question is about cookie season.
