Picture, if you will. A six year old. Bawling. Sobbing and pleading on their knees at your feet as if before the hand of god. "PLEASE PLEASE TELL HER I DIDNT CHEW THE MARKERS. TELL HER I DINT. I DINT CHEW THE MARKERS!!!" Her face is red with rage as tears bucket down her face. But her mouth? Her mouth is green. Her teeth are green. Her hands are green. This liar will not see the kingdom of heaven

Last week a five year old told me she knew a lot about history. She listed the things she knew about the first was king tut (“I know a lot about king tut”) and the second:

The voynich manuscript. We had to move on but I wanted to ask her so much more

And so I’m going to say something right here, in the middle of this heartfelt essay, that’s going to seem like a complete non-sequitur: Thank God for Girl Scout Camp.

You see, in mainstream media there are no role models for butch lesbians. When you’re a kid (and an adult, and a human in general), media is vitally important to your understanding of what is good, and right, and possible. In popular media, butch women are monsters. We’re portrayed as objects of revulsion, mockery, and pity. As an adolescent I didn’t have Autostraddle or Tumblr, I hadn’t heard of Alison Bechdel, I hadn’t read Stone Butch Blues or Female Masculinity. I didn’t have a butch mom, or aunt, or family friend to look up to. I had movies and television and I had Girl Scout Camp. Every summer from when I was about six to when I was eighteen, I spent a few weeks at an overnight camp where it seemed as though 99% of the staff were lesbians. I was a counselor there myself during the summer between high school and college. Thanks to this seasonal community, I grew up with butch women who taught me and took care of me, women whom I admired and wanted to emulate. Without Camp, it would have been that much harder to envision a livable future for myself.

A life of a camp counselor in nutshell: strange questions and even stranger answers

camp activities include digging graves, saving cats from trees, surviving bear attacks, and, of course, the annual camp cook-out where we supply the meat!

Main Story Update?

Have they added an update to the main story? I know they added in the weapons locker but I'm in chapter 2 of my 4th playthrough and came back into camp to see all the women in sleepwear. Like the white chemise and bloomers and I've never seen that before.

So is that new or am I just dumb and never noticed?

Edit: I'm also now having problems with the dialogue. They'll be talking but there's no sound or subtitles, just the background music. I never had this issue before the update.
