concept: me, living in my dream city, speaking multiple languages, working at my dream job, having multiple nerd friends who I love and who love me
great
Good.
I wholeheartedly approve.
OK but Girl Scouts allowed trans and NB scouts in long ago and they’re a secular organization as opposed to the explicitly Christian Boy Scouts. This is literally just a way of attracting girls away from the feminism of Girl Scouts to the Christian patriarchy because we still think Boy Scouts are better because they’re for boys. I went camping in Girl Scouts. I built fires. I also learned that it’s okay to be proud of being a girl and doing “girly” things like sewing and cooking (really important skills that are downplayed because they’re seen as “women’s work.”) The Girl Scouts are so officially pro-choice that they scare evangelicals.
Girls joining Boy Scouts is false progressivism. While I think perhaps the days of gendered scouting might be numbered, it shouldn’t be because everyone is now joining the conservative organization of the Boy Scouts.
Plus, the girls won’t really be allowed to do all of the scouting things. Just some limited things, in special programs.
Don’t for a minute believe this means a girl can be an Eagle Scout. It isn’t even close. It’s a bullshit program from everything I’ve read.
Shel Silverstein wanted to say something very wise. So he wrote a children’s book.
I couldn’t fully appreciate these as a kid. I’m so glad to see these. Shel Silverstein was so magnificent.
My entire childhood.
Yassssssss I’ve loved these since I was little

Eli Bosnick had the best response to this ridiculousness.
“If I gave you a bowl of skittles and three of them were poison would you still eat them?”
“Are the other skittles human lives?”
“What?”
“Like. Is there a good chance. A really good chance. I would be saving someone from a war zone and probably their life if I ate a skittle?”
“Well sure. But the point-”
“I would eat the skittles.”
“Ok-well the point is-”
“I would GORGE myself on skittles. I would eat every single fucking skittle I could find. I would STUFF myself with skittles. And when I found the poison skittle and died I would make sure to leave behind a legacy of children and of friends who also ate skittle after skittle until there were no skittles to be eaten. And each person who found the poison skittle we would weep for. We would weep for their loss, for their sacrifice, and for the fact that they did not let themselves succumb to fear but made the world a better place by eating skittles.
Because your REAL question…the one you hid behind a shitty little inaccurate, insensitive, dehumanizing racist little candy metaphor is, IS MY LIFE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF MEN, WOMEN, AND TERRIFIED CHILDREN…
… and what kind of monster would think the answer to that question… is yes?”
