Hey everyone,
We literally just added 100 more trans girl scouts to the trans girl scout cookie list. The list is bigger than it has ever been in EITM history.
Go get some cookies and make a trans scout's day!

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?
Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.
Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

And if you missed it back then, you can make amends for your sinful oversight, tonight, at 00:10 on BBC2.
"Hill House had stood for 90 years and might stand for 90 more. Silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there walked alone."
'The Haunting' (1963) is on BBC2 at 00.05 tonight. Beautiful, unsettling & one of my all-time favourite movies. Highly recommended.
