Culture: Girl Scout encourages cookie boycott because the group allows transgenders

  • Looks like someone isn’t getting their “tolerance” badge: This 14-year-old Girl Scout from California is calling for the boycott of her own group for allowing a transgender child to serve as a Girl Scout, which is fairly progressive for the group, but something they only allowed after initially denying the child. Progress comes with resistance, guys; here’s the resistance. source

Culture: No, you can’t buy Girl Scout cookies online. We just checked.

  • New year means a new cookie: Screw resolutions, y’all. The Girl Scouts have a brand new cookie that represents the sweetness of the South. This year, we’ll be able to buy the new Savannah Smiles — potentially even from a smiling girl named Savannah. It’s to commemorate the 100 years that the Girl Scouts have been with us. Don’t worry: even though the lemon/powdered sugar combo is a powerful one, we’ll still be buying twice as many boxes of Thin Mints. Do you have a different favorite flavor? source
