If Real Life Don't--(A Micropost with Nellie)

Consider this a preview for...oh let's say ~~Moe~~ Friday.

Me: I'm going to blog the Friday after my return and Kira B's post, about the travel stuff. Get back on the horse that threw you.
The Next Day: *A literal fucking mob riot on democracy by white supremacists in the Capital*
My Brain: lmao fukking bye
Me: motherfucke--

So yeah, that happened. And I knew gods damn good and well I wouldn't be able to blog about doll shit until post inauguration, because my brain had fucked off to where all ADHD brains fuck off to, the Forest of Fuck Your Executive Function.

But it's two weeks later. (literally. Just two damn weeks.) We are post inauguration as of...*checks watch* about an hour ago. President Joe Biden is #46, Vice President Kamala Harris is of the same sorority as my mom and the sister sorority to my dad's frat, and we've got a lot of healing to do.

And so do I. These last four years have been like a bad relationship. Ask me how I know! Don't do what 16 year old Neth did.

Anyways, I've lured my wonk brain back with candy canes, a pack of fancy Japanese Watercolors, McDonald's cheeseburgers, and some Crayola Colors of the World Colored pencils. It's amazing what you can get when you're not impatient. And I do work in colored pencil more than actual crayons.

See you this Friday. We can talk about shortbread and workout pants.

Now where the hell did I put my photo lamps...? ¹

What a relief it is to have Orangutan in Chief OUT OUT OUT of office. I'm a lifelong Delawarian and I'd welcome Joe Biden in the White House any time, but most especially now. He's not in his prime now, like he was twenty or even ten years ago, but is surely capable of "draining the swamp." I sure don't envy him; he has got the most godawful mess to clean up. As for Orangutan, my nasty little revenge fantasy has him on the streets pushing a grocery cart full of expensive golf gear and trying to pick fights with lampposts.

Trolling, pointless bigotry, nonsense, and hating for the sake of hating will be removed, as will any post screaming "first" because no one cares. Cursing is fine, as I curse myself. I still expect you to act like you have home training. This is not a Free Speech Zone. I reserve the right to delete comments, kick you out of the convo, or tell you to piss off. You post, you stand by your words, and all the consequences of those words, even if that consequence is getting your ass handed back to you. Don't come in my space, spit on my floor, and expect me to call it a swimming pool. I can and will cuss your entire ass out. If I told you not to comment, and you comment, your comments will be deleted. If your comment starts with or says "you probably won't let me post this!" or "you'll probably delete this" or anything like that, then you're right, I won't let you and I will delete it.

After seven days blog comments are all screened.

If you are under thirteen your comments will be removed; you're too young to be on the internet unsupervised and you know it.

Bio, Disclaimers, Warnings, and Copyrights

American Girl Outsider is the toy and doll blog of a often loud, sometimes annoying Gen X/Millenial black pagan queer.

I'm an American Girl (and other toy/doll) collector who generally can't stand a good portion of the AG fandom away from my little corners of it, for this or that reason. This is a one-femme show that discusses everything from new stuff, old stuff, stuffy stuff, and the problematic issues surrounding doll and toy fandoms: here we snark, review, and play. I'm also the admin and founder of the A*G Wiki, Absolute Hairdorables Wiki, and American Girl Collectors forum.

This blog contains sharp opinions, reviews, factual facts, actual knowledge about history, researched shit, snarky takes on stuff, and loads and loads of cursing. Proceed on your own merits, cause your feels don't come first. Mine do. I make it a personal mission to use the word "fuck" at least twice for many posts, so this blog is Rated R for Really Big Bitch. I am Too Loud, Too Reckless, and Too Ghetto.

If you like what I have to say, spread the world and stay around; like and subscribe for more soft pastel femme-butch toy collecting queerness. If you hate what I have to say, go read something else, there's a bunch of everything on the internet. You could be using this time to do literally anything else. Hatereading is still reading. If you don't like me, why are you here?

If you are not at least Gen X or Early Millennial, this blog is likely not for you. Judge accordingly, if you're mature enough then read on but understand this space isn't for people who can answer the "GotY of my Birth Year" question. I'm not going to tone my shit down for people whose birth years start with a 2. Stay outta grown folk business if you can't act right.

If you are under 13--hell, under 18--none of this blog is for you even if it does say American Girl in the title and discusses new hot toys. I'm writing for people 18 and older in toy fandoms--really, like 25+ at the lowest end with a few exceptions, and even that's potential side eye if we don't have a rapport and/or you can't act right. But 13? Infant. Baby. Child. You shouldn't be on the internet unsupervised at all anyways. Go find your parents and guardians, go to another site, and get off my areolas. This blog is not for children's eyes. I Talk To and For Grown Ass Folk.

I am not affiliated with American Girl, LLC (or any other companies I post about). If and when people send or give me anything for free, I'll admit it upfront and review it honestly. I buy most of my own stuff, and I almost always take my own pics unless there's no way to do it or it's catalog pics. Some pics not my own are here for the commentary, not gonna lie. I also scan, screen cap, and use website/catalog pics, especially after the nearest AG store closed.

Put on your big people pants before you comment--if you say dumb things, you're gonna live with it. Being on the net means owning your words.

FAQ and Info here. Read it and minimize your chances of getting cussed out.
