there’s a very specific aesthetic i’m going for on this blog and it’s called cool things i like
the thing that gets me about about barbie is that barbie land wasn’t even purposefully a matriarchy, barbie land came about because of the way little girls were playing with their barbies, it wasn’t created by mattel it was created by the people using the toys, so the fact that the barbies ignored the ken’s and had girls night every night wasn’t because they had some bias against him, it was just an accurate depiction of how kids play with barbies. I had some ken dolls as a child and they were essential to the plot in the sense that of course my barbie has a boyfriend because that represented the world i saw around me, but also he didn’t have any purpose in my dream world because i was only interested in what the girls were doing because they represented me and how i wanted to be, I wanted girls night every night I wanted the girls to be president and austronauts and not because of some inherent feminist idea but because I was a girl and I wasn’t thinking about boys, ken was an accessory. this movie wasn’t made to change the world but it showed a different perspective than what we usually see which I thought was fun. Men don’t have to be the centre of all our stories and its not even because we hate them, sometimes we’re just not thinking about them
you can just. you can just buy a fuckin banjo. you can do that. you can hire a mariachi band to come to your house. you can wear a biblically accurate angel cosplay to the grocery store. you can do it. whatever it is. you can just do it.

Life feels so fucking weird and confusing but I’m also PMSing, sleep deprived, 2 lattes in, trying not to let the fear win. Got my first invite to hang out from a coworker today (grill party next week) and I can’t express the extremely weird raw feeling I have about going to a party alone for the first time in like 3 years. It’s growth & I’m just along for the ride but I drive around the island for like an hour every day after work just decompressing & having weird “who am I” thought spirals. One of the silliest yet somehow biggest things is that all of my cute clothes are still in a storage unit 1,000 miles away so I’m even looking at the plain jeans & t-shirts that I packed going “this doesn’t feel like me.” Like every little thing is so fresh it’s seriously like being reborn.
seinfeld has remained so popular bc ultimately all anyone wants is 3 friends with no life and who are committed to the bit
The "and Ken" sign says so much. Not only do the police identify him as some crazily dressed guy just tagging along with an equally crazily dressed girl who just decked someone in the face, they also cuff him even though it seems like he hasn't done anything because he tagged along with his girlfriend even to get arrested.
He's an accessory even to a convicted Barbie. You do not separate a Ken from his Barbie even in jail. Ken is having the time of his life even in incarceration because he's there with Barbie.
im actually crying right now because pedro is living his dreams right now after years of struggles. the fact he is part of the star wars franchise, winning award after award, being part of things he grew up with is just ugh idk so heartwarming. he deserves all of this and so much more. he’s incredibly talented, but also incredibly kind. i hope he continues to achieve all of his goals 😭🤎

idk who needs to hear this rn but suffering is not noble. take the tylenol
One time when I was younger I was refusing to take headache medicine and my mom said “the person who invented that medicine is probably so sad you won’t let them help you” and now every time I find myself denying medicine I just imagine the saddest scientist making those big wet eyes like “why won’t you let me help” and whoop then I take the medicine
