@MikellTaylor Exactly. I run SO MUCH local community building stuff through FB groups. They have issues, sure, but I don't have a true better alternative right now.
Now that there has been a new wave of media coverage on the first female #EagleScouts, this lack of awareness of—and respect for—Girl Scouting and the #GoldAward is on full display.
From Girl Scout troop leaders @amdietrich and Andrea Songey-Neff:

@missm0rte@QueenofGruene@CNN The problem is actually structural sexism and the default assumption that something that is gendered as male is somehow always better. So no, Gold Award doesn't get the respect it deserves, but addressing sexism is the answer, not taking away options and forcing uniformity.
@CNN The way this is being covered, you're just adding to the default sexism that women and girls face everyday. Why is the male version seen as better? https://t.co/mSXvdKUOjV
@missm0rte@QueenofGruene@CNN Actually, they do have that set up for girls. It's the Girl Scout Gold Award and it is arguably harder to earn than Eagle Scout.
@NorahODonnell and others covered the first female Eagle Scouts. In doing so, they added to the default sexism that women and girls face everyday. Why is the male version seen as better? #InternationalWomensDay

@CyberNorris@FAANews FAA and industry have been working closely on an appropriate evolution of general aviation requirements to #UAM. If that continues I am optimistic their role will be a constructive one.
Great #UAM remote event on Monday with foundational information about urban air mobility. Built for state and local decision makers, useful for everyone!

Local & state decision makers are the gate keepers for the urban air mobility industry. Let's make sure they have the resources they need to make informed decisions that support their communities & enable the potential of urban air mobility! Join us: https://t.co/oy8q6TTceN #uam
Like a lot of folks, I'm finding it a challenge to get re-energized after the awesome craziness of the holidays. So I wrote a thing. Maybe this will help you too! Happy New Year!
