It's Girl Scout cookie season, so here is a list of trans Girl Scouts you can buy from!
The list is long (yay!), but I'd recommend reading the bios and finding someone to support who hasn't already met their goal so we can help as many of them meet their goals as possible.
If you're overwhelmed by the list, this is my second year supporting Elvie and they're only at about 25% of their goal right now so I’m sure they'd appreciate your support!

This apartment is located diagonally across from mine and I have been obsessed with it since the day I moved in because it seems really tidy and the bed is always made, but I have never seen anyone in it and I've been making up elaborate reasons for why I've never seen the occupants like they work opposite schedules or they're so short they don't even reach the window sill, but my husband just broke the news that I've been diligently monitoring a vacant model unit the entire time.

My company awards point for things like work anniversaries and you can redeem those points for things like gift cards or random items and it's honestly a bizarre assortment of items with illogical point values, so it will be like...
Items available for 500 points:
5-piece luggage set
Hamster cage
Cheese grater
Virtual massage
(Okay, virtual massage is fake but there are a lot of virtual "experiences" on here that are like wahhhhhh?)
Anyway, I’m using this as an opportunity to terrify my husband about the things I may potentially be bringing into our household, like "It looks like I have enough points to get a hamster cage and a gift card to Petco!!! I wonder how many hamsters we can get for $100?"

If you had a bad mom, I hope you at least have someone who is good to you, so you can hug them instead, but please don’t come into the comments blasting me for trying to remind people to hug their moms because that's something I’m no longer able to do and I would give anything to be able to do that even once more.

This commercial comes on occasionally and it creeps me out because the guy gives off Fyre Festival vibes and he's just staring at the camera, barely blinking, and speaking in a weird "dead" tone, but my favorite part is that they allocated a huge part of the screen to a QR code that's obscured by the little circular timer for the commercial, rendering it useless.

18 years ago today, I was at work and my coworkers were talking about some YouTube video called "2 Girls 1 Cup" and they were like "you CAN'T watch it here, but you gotta look it up when you get home!"
After work, I decided to stop by 7-eleven to get two Slurpees so I could film my own version called "Two Cups One Girl" to try to trick people who were looking for the real video into watching my intentionally boring video instead.
I've still never seen the actual video, but here's the fake one:

Oh, bummer dude. Just give me ANY OTHER NUMBER and I'll text the verification code there instead.
I guess it's a good thing my account only had $0 and I was already closing it because WTF is up with your security, E*Trade?

2025-12-14 14:54:06 GMT

WARNING: Long story with no real point. Just remembering something and wanted to write it down to document it.
Years ago, I worked at an Apple Store teaching computer lessons for all learning levels and on a variety of topics.
One of my regulars was a nice older lady who was a piano teacher and we got to talking and she mentioned that her husband is a lawyer and he's the one who wanted to learn to use the computer, but he didn't want to go into the store to learn, so she was taking lessons for him and then she would go home and try to teach him, but it wasn't working out because they were getting "frustrated" with one another, so she asked if I ever taught private lessons at people's homes.
This was definitely a conflict of interest and I really liked my job and wasn't willing to risk losing it, but she mentioned that it may be okay if we were just trading services where I would teach her husband to use the computer and she would teach me piano lessons as a thank you.
I ran it by my manager and she said she was totally fine with an arrangement like that and she gave me the green light.
Once a week after work, I'd take the bus to their house in a suburb of Chicago and we'd start with my piano lesson and then I'd go and give the husband his computer lesson.
Her husband wanted to learn the computer because "so many law things require computers nowadays" so he wanted to "keep up with the kids" and I really admired that about him.
Over time, I gave up on the piano, but he still wanted to learn more on the computer, so I just continued teaching the lessons for free.
Once he had "mastered" email and web searches, he mentioned that he wanted to create a website for his law practice, so I helped him make a basic website (e.g., bio, services, contact info, etc.).
The template he selected had a large space at the top for a header photo and he said he wanted a photo of the Chicago skyline, so we hopped on Google and selected one and added it and clicked publish and he was really happy with his website and we sent an email to pretty much everyone he knew (BCCed) to link them to his new website.
At that point, he had accomplished his ultimate goal and I just happened to be moving, so we said our goodbyes and that was the last time I saw him.
Years later, I took a Photoshop class and part of the class was on copyright laws and attribution and I had this OH NO flashback moment to creating that website because we definitely just did a random google search for Chicago skyline and didn't have formal permission to use that photo and I had NO idea what the photographer's permissions were, so I was terrified that I was going to get this poor lawyer in trouble for copyright infringement due to a dumb photo that we hastily dropped on his website years before.
By this point, I lived in a different state and all of the website files lived on his computer and there was no way I was going to be able to instruct him on how to change the photo via email or over the phone, so I wasn't going to open a can of worms by even mentioning it to him and I just pushed down the bad feelings and guilt, but every so often I'd remember it and they'd come flooding back.
Whenever this would happen, I'd pull up his website to see if anything changed, but it was always there with that big photo of the Chicago skyline staring right back at me.
I recently remembered him again and went to pull up his website to see if the photo was still there, but this time the entire website was gone.
I was relieved until I googled him and found his obituary instead and my relief turned to grief. It turns out he had died a couple of years ago and left behind his loving wife, a piano teacher.
RIP, Don. You were one of the good ones and i'm grateful to have known you and I'm glad you lived a long life free of copyright lawsuits.

Kev mentioned that our oil change was scheduled for January 8th and I was like "Oh, on Elvis' birthday" and he was like "Why do you know his birthday? You don’t even like Elvis."
He is correct because I am very indifferent to Elvis and I seriously have no idea why I know his dumb birthday when I have to write all of my friends' and family member's birthdays on a physical paper calendar old lady style.
My mind is full of useless BS like this and I think it's clogging the space I should be using for important things, like singing the periodic table backwards since I currently can only sing it forward.

Yep! Both photos give me anxiety in different ways.
The suburb photo is obvious, but the green spread out version is also scary to me because it immediately makes me think of the film High Tension/Haute Tension and how there's really no help for you if someone breaks in and you're far away from neighbors/help.
Or how I always wanted a mid-century house like in The Ice Storm with a huge wall of windows looking out on a lot of land, but that just means creepy people can look right back in and, you know, break some glass and kill you.
In summary, I’m afraid of everything.

This is like the opposite of an HOA. You can tell because there's actually space between the houses.
This is definitely HOAville:

People should give their children gender neutral names so it will still align when their child reaches complete comfort with their identity.

I’m really excited that barrel jeans are in style because it's leveling the playing field for people like me who have legs that are naturally shaped like barrels.

Kev got a really flattering photo of me right before I took the photo of the shoe where I SAT ON THE TRAIN TRACKS and THEN decided to look back to make sure a train wasn't coming.

You know what would boost my productivity?
If I could focus on doing my actual job instead of doing busywork like filling out nonsense personal assessments and writing out BS goals every. single. year.

I'm a big brat so I have my Mastodon posts auto-posting to Bluesky on an intentional 1–2 year delay and I particularly like it when the joke is from a format that was going around on some random day in 2023 so Bluesky will be like "did this person JUST learn about this style of joke?" while I’m sitting back thinking about how they're just watching my Mastodon reruns.

WARNING: Long post and NO point, but a very real example of what it's like to try to have a conversation with me...
To start, I have autism and ADHD (AuDHD) and I just had a conversation with a stranger that's a pretty typical conversation I have where I start talking about something I care a LOT about but then get ten words in and uncontrollably switch to a different topic and keep repeating that pattern until the other person manages to escape.
Here's a near transcription of my last conversation that started earlier this evening at a show for a band I like called The Beths where I was wearing a t-shirt for an adjacent band called ALVVAYS and saw another person wearing a different ALVVAYS shirt:
Me: I like your ALVVAYS shirt! Did you see The Beths open for ALVVAYS the last time they were in California?
Them: Yeah! I saw both at The Greek in Berkeley!
Me: Cool! I saw them both in Oakland!
Them: Neat! I went for ALVVAYS and The Beths opened and I really liked them!
Me: Me too! I've been listening to ALVVAYS for years, but didn't know about The Beths until they opened and I really liked them which is why I’m here now!
(This is where AuDHD Alice kicks in)
Me (continuing): I was JUST thinking about the chain of events that lead to me being here, so it was that ALVVAYS show where The Beths opened and I wouldn't have even known about ALVVAYS if my coworker hadn't introduced me to them about ten years ago.
The reason my coworker mentioned them is because I was wearing a Jawbreaker shirt so he realized we liked similar music and thought I might like ALVVAYS and he was totally right!
The reason I was wearing a Jawbreaker shirt is because we worked for a scrappy startup in the Bay Area where nobody cared about anything and you could wear whatever you wanted as long as you got your job done.
I got that job because I used to work for Yelp because my former Yelp coworker started working for that startup and referred me.
I got the job at Yelp because my mom had stage 4 cancer and was DYING so I moved from Chicago to Phoenix to take care of her and Yelp had a location in Arizona so I interviewed and I got that job.
I'm pretty sure I got the job because my resume used Avenir as the font and the hiring manager liked it.
We also talked about The Neverending Story which is one of my favorite movies and apparently one of his, so we bonded because I mentioned job interviews making me feel like Atreyu trying to run through those laser shooting sculptures and he said he totally got it and somehow I still got the job.
That job eventually lead me to the startup which brought me to the coworker who introduced me to ALVVAYS which introduced me to The Beths and that's why I’m here now.
How did you find out about The Beths?
Them: Oh. Uh. Just that ALVVAYS show where The Beths opened, as I previously mentioned.
Me: Oh okay good talk have a nice night.

I think @npub1fwt…p7gn is worried because Halloween is over and I’m still wearing the sausage necklace but it's not my fault because I've never had nice jewelry before so I just wanna show it off.

Shoutout to [@the_etrain](https://beige.party/@the_etrain ) for being the OG Alice McFlurry hotdog guy for Halloween and to @npub1388…sxrr for finding this ridiculous hotdog costume that is unfortunately a Fortnite reference that I know nothing about and seriously only bought because it came with a sausage necklace.

Them: Are you wearing that ironically?
Me: No, it's actually pretty wrinkly.

People will say things like "it's selfish to not want to have kids!" and then immediately follow it up with "Who is going to take care of you when you get old?" as if they don’t know what the word selfish means.

Whenever @npub1fwt…p7gn and I notice anyone eavesdropping on our conversation, we immediately switch over to using fake terminology just to throw off the nosy people.
Example:
"I’m goin' FULL grunion!"
"Don’t tell ME how to glick!"
They usually stop after that.

Question!
If your wife died and you remarried shortly after and then were divorced shortly after that because you were also emotionally abusive to your new wife, are you still allowed to refer to yourself as a widow to gain sympathy from unsuspecting women?

Thinking about the time when I took a sociology class and I had a hard time identifying with it so I typed out everything my professor said and memorized it so when I'd have tests I could regurgitate it verbatim which got me "A"s but also made my professor think we were soulmates because we "thought the same way" so can someone please provide me with the words to let my professor down easily?

My biggest problem is having VERY varied interests so my dumb jokes are often Venn diagrams of two totally different concepts where most people are only familiar with one, so the intersection is very slim.
Doesn't matter, though. I'll post any dumb thought that comes into my head as long as it makes ME laugh.

If you're testing your spaghetti for doneness and you throw it at the wall and it doesn't stick then you need to pick it up off the floor and put it back in the pot because it's not done cooking yet.
