Julie: If you could do one apparatus what would it be?
Brandy: Floor.
Julie: Ahh yes. Very classy. Elegante. Dahhncer.
Brandy: You?
Julie: Hmmm. Either the pommel horse or the bar they fling around on.
Brandy: Those are guy events!
Julie: Yes, they are. I know. But I wanna wear the pants and the tank top and do that thing they do with their legs on the horse…What’s that called? Scissoring.
Hayyy Campers!!
So the Tumblr has been dormant for a while, since we’ve all been sitting on our hands (or someone else’s) waiting for it to be Camp time again! Also, the humble camper that types this stuff is graduating a few weeks before A-Camp, moving a few weeks afterwards, and thus has been in a feverish senoritis rampage.
Aaanyways it’s AUGUST you guys! As of yesterday, camper Emily Goldsmith counts us in at T-Minus 40 Days! So it’s time this Tumblr begins to rumble back to life with all the most important A-Camp relevance and obviously any major Autostraddle highlights.

you guys
i just donated a ridiculous amount of money to autostraddle
for 2 reasons:
- i really want a you do you shirt and that’s a perk but for a lot of money (it also comes with a bookmark and a sticker and stuff)
- autostraddle is one of the few consistently good things in my life. sometimes...

- Brandy: Balance Beam is stressful.
- Julie: So stressful. This girl looks like she's 10. I love the bars. I like when they go around and around and I like the pommel horse and rings. Why don't the girls do those?
- Brandy: I don't know. Sexism probs.
- Julie: You're right! God dammit!
- Brandy: I knew you'd agree with me!
- Julie: I always agree with sexism. Its true.
all the cool things we could do with more money and all the things we’ll do for you if we make it!
