YOU GUYS. I just saw the most wild thing! A man started walking toward the Girl Scouts cookie stand in front of the grocery store and he yelled “my bitches are BACK” and this Girl Scout just yelled “no. Walk away.” AND HE DID.
I still can’t process what I just saw. I don’t understand it at all. It was like witnessing the worst miscalculation he was bright red and just went back to his car. Everyone just stood in silence. This girl death stared him all the way through his walk of shame.
I need to vote for her for every office but I think she’s like 12.
I just went and talked to her (tried to buy cookies but couldn’t because cash only). I told her I was impressed with how she handled that dude and she just said with perfect comedic timing “you got learn to be pretty tough if you’re gonna go out in THIS outfit!”
*gotta

I was shaking while tweeting because I was so overwhelmed by the whole encounter. If it had been filmed it would have won an Academy Award.
Well this blew up. Here’s my soundcloud. girlscouts.org/en/cookies/all…
I wrote out the full story:

My husband is now scheduling friend dates to go to Costco. He came home from work so exhausted today but told me "I have to meet Jenna at 7:00. We are shopping. It's really important to both of us."
And before the usual straight people with weird (unhealthy) perceptions of relationships show up in the comments, I am a gay man married to a gay man. This is not an affair. You don't need to warn me. We are OK.

I booked a flight on a tiny airline (the only one that goes to the farm town where I'm visiting family). There are 3 passengers on this flight and the plane is basically a minivan with wings. The pilot just had us play a quick icebreaker game before we took off. 10/10 experience.
The plane apparently never goes high enough to lose cell service.
It's really windy so the plane keeps tipping almost on its side. The pilot keeps making sounds like we're riding a roller coaster. This is WILD.

The Republican Party has devolved into this. This is what your GOP reps propose counts as competent leadership. The intelligent republicans are desperate for power and they are exploiting the uneducated to get it. That's the entire game at this point. And it's so sad.
This is no longer a matter of ideological differences. Anyone showing loyalty to the Republican Party at this point doesn't give a damn about what's good for you. They just want the machinery to make them relevant. They are either too apathetic or cowardly to stop the bleeding.
You can dismiss me as some supposed communist. But I voted Republican in every presidential election until 2016 (some regrets in hindsight). I'm not an extremist. I happen to believe it would be healthy to have 2 competent parties debating ideas. But we don't have that anymore.

I so badly wanted to avoid commenting on this mess because I think it’s incredibly petty, but whatever, I keep getting asked about it and messaged about it. So here I go. The Kate Kelly attack was really sad for me. Mostly because she said some unkind things about my mom.
I actually agree with her that a lot of us in the LGBTQ community need to do a better job at caring about causes but don’t affect us individually. I’ve tried to be a spokesperson about that, not just on Twitter, but in my active advocacy in my life.
I have been trying to use my platform to talk about reproductive rights and why we need to care about them, no matter our situation. I have made a concerted effort to use my platform to amplify minority voices wherever I can. I absolutely know I’m not perfect at this.

A new account I just received from Ukraine, translated:

I was born and live in the west of Ukraine, in Ivano-Frankivsk. It seemed to me that it would always be safe here. But today I and my whole city woke up to rocket explosions and the roar of planes. Smoke all over the city.
As it turned out, such a morning was not only in our city. And all over Ukraine. In an instant, life seemed to be divided into before and after. In the first seconds there was panic, fear and shock. What to do, where to run, who to call.
And the first thought was not for one’s own life, but for family and loved ones. All day we were chained to the news from the armed forces and worried during each attack. They broke away from every roar or siren.

I left my bag with the knitting project I’ve been working on (a sweater) in the rental car I turned in today. Please keep me in your prayers at this time. @thriftycars
Update: a fellow knitter who knows the stakes has contacted me from Thrifty and vowed to help. This is the Knitters’ Code.

Will continue to report as o receive new information.
I believe she is clanking her own needles together to pass on the distress code to the nearest fellow knitter who will carry the message to the next. Just like the dogs barking in 101 Dalmatians.
