Chronic illness fun fact: There is a direct correlation between how horrible you feel and how busy/chaotic your shift is. Not sure if this is a fuck customers or just a fuck my life, but FUCK.

I hope everything's okay with your family! Watch any good TV lately?

Thank you! I just talked to mom on the phone maybe an hour or so ago and she said everything is fine, they’re just doing some more tests on dad.

Hm, I’ve been watching a lot of Star Trek lately!

As a woman I reject any "feminism" that treats women like defenseless children who can't make up their own minds. It's just repackaged sexism. I'm 24 years old. If I wanted to date a 40-year-old man, you may find it weird but it's a decision I'm old enough and intelligent enough to make myself.

Just hire me, American Girl, because I have so many great character ideas

Modern

An adopted Asian girl (hell, an adopted girl in general)

A girl with two dads or two moms

If not an actual trans girl like Jazz Jennings, a girl whose sibling is transitioning

A daughter of Indian immigrants

A MUSLIM GIRL (and please name her Amina because I love that name, and let her mother be a hijab-wearing BAMF who speaks, like, five languages and has seven Ph.D.s)

An immigrant/refugee girl

A girl dealing with the loss of a parent

A girl whose sibling comes home from the army and is struggling to adjust to civilian life

A girl getting adopted from foster care (the story doesn’t have to be SUPER dark but can just be about feeling rootless for a while and then finding family but adjusting to her new life)

(Freals, we need more stories that are less puffy. They don’t have to be super morbid, because children, but not all kids have perfect happy lives, so more stories that represent the girls who do have bumps in the road and show a new point of view to the girls that don’t experience stuff like that.)

A Native girl

Biracial girls who aren’t half-white, like a black/Vietnamese girl or a Pakistani/Dominican girl

(I feel like, in these crazy times, American Girl could really revamp its GOTY line and send a message about empathy and seeing perspectives other than your own.)

Also a black girl from Charleston of the Gullah culture would be cool

An Armenian American girl (I just really want to see that and I don’t know why)

Historical

Jamestown (preferably a Native girl, because if someone’s going to dethrone Kaya as the First American Girl it should probably be another Native girl)

A Chinese or Japanese girl during the 1880s Wild West Era (both because Asian representation and I used to have a Billy the Kid obsession so bringing up the Wild West would be superb)

Famine Irish

A girl who comes through Ellis Island (maybe Italian American)

A Native Alaskan girl

A Native Hawaiian girl

Maybe a girl who has one Native parent and one black parent who’s an escaped slave

At the turn of the century in California there was a lot of intermarriage between Mexican women and Punjabi immigrant men, so a daughter of one of those pairings, and touch on the blending of cultures and the anti-immigrant idiocy that surrounded them

Side note: I literally just pulled these out of a hat within a half hour, so imagine what people could come up with if they actually put time and effort into it.

Holy crap, thanks to @i-cannot-live-without-coffee for this!

Het relationship or not, Evie likes women. IMO, she's bi, bi, bi until the day she dies.

good shit goooooood shit my dude

[gettin-bi-bi-bi]

I'm bi and usually I just say I have a preference for guys but sometimes I'll ballpark it at like 60/40 only if I have to estimate a point. But I don't tally it up or anything; I just tend to fall for guys, but I am still hella into girls and will turn into a mess when I see a pretty one, so if I HAD to put a number on it 60/40 would probably be closest. And I only use two numbers because in my experience I'm pretty much only attracted to males and females (but open to NB people).

Yeah, I see how using percentages can be helpful for some people to find a way to talk about their bisexuality and I don’t judge that. Not to mention that there ~are bi people who say they’re only attracted to men and women and not nb-people (tho I would argue that you cannot know someone’s gender from just looking at them - there are a lot of nb people who present like one of the two binary genders).

Personally I’d just prefer if people said “I prefer [insert gender] a little over others” or “I have a strong preference for [insert gender]” because that way non-binary people wouldn’t be pushed off the waggon.

I'm sorry you're feeling so down. I wish I had something good to say but I'm kind of in a rut, too. But just know you're not alone and if you need to talk, I'm here.

Thank you, feel better.
