It actually makes me so incredibly happy to see clothing stores filled to the absolute brim with pink again thanks to the Barbie movie. Every store knows this is going to drive the face of fashion and so now everywhere you look there’s hot pink and pastel pink and muted pinks and baby pink and it’s all incredible, it’s all so fun, and it’s all so unapologetic. I adore it
because xian moms are coming out of the woodwork to bash Barbie yet again I feel like this needs to be seen
Just saw a Barbie ad here for the first time. It is starting, folks. They must already be desperate if they're buying ad space on TUMBLR.
Do not reblog official marketing or ads from struck works
including (but not remotely limited to) Barbie. They are advertising here because their actors are on strike and will not promote their products.
Barbie is not a struck work. It is okay to reblog barbie content. It's done and finished. Going to premiers for it is crossing the line. But going to the regular ass movie is not.
Read me and read me good: not seeing Barbie is a great way to show execs that we don't care about writers and actors.
Let me say that again: going to see Barbie is GOOD for the strike. Many people who WORKED on barbie are striking. They probably have not been paid yet.
The unions HAVE NOT asked us to picket the movie. Just the premier.
The original post is disinformation.
I believe it to be coming from a good place but avoiding works that are NOT being struck is genuinely harmful to the cause.
At first Netflix said, come write for us. We’ll save your cancelled shows and write about whatever niche story you want. Our algorithm says people will watch it!
Then a few years later they said, regardless of our promises or contract obligations we are cancelling shows after two seasons without telling anyone. Turns out no matter how loved a show is, we get less subscriptions after the second season.
How many subscriptions did we bring you? Netflix won’t say.
So writers started writing two season shows. Just give us two seasons, Netflix. Like you promised.
Then Netflix said, oops sorry! Turns out your show didn’t premiere at #1 and the views in the first day weren’t what we wanted so we’re cancelling your second season.
What were the numbers? How many people watched our show? Netflix doesn’t say.
Then, they did something extra special. They started taking shows and splitting their first season into two halves. Inside Job was not two seasons. It was one season split in half.
Oops! Sorry! The second half of your first season didn’t do as well as the first half, so now your show is cancelled!
Why? How many people? How much money? These companies are making cash hand over fist and they refuse to tell people the truth: people loved your show. Loved it. But some corpo exec wanted an infinite money making machine. Do you know how long shows are in production for before you watch them? Years. Like, 5+, even 10+ years. And Netflix gives it less than a week before they decide whether you’re getting cancelled.

i think about this one so fucking often i had to clip it
that was like watching someone very skillfully assembling a stained-glass window just to watch someone else dropkick it
i know i’ve already complained about this before but remember how Din almost died like 5 times to find Ahsoka and then she refused to train the baby bc he loved his dad so that makes him evil so she told him to go on a dangerous mission to a Jedi Beacon Mountain and he did and then his baby got kidnapped by the Empire and everyone had to risk their lives to get him back and then Luke took Grogu to go train.
and then two months later Din finds out that Ahsoka fully just hangs out with Luke on the regular and she could've just brought Grogu to him herself or given Luke a phone call that's like "hey I don't want to train this baby but maybe YOU would like to?"
if i were Din I would've become a serial killer on the spot

From the thumbnnail I thought that it was just a jacket thrown over a box that the kitty had made himself comfortable on. I was NOT expecting the tiny little defeated voice to emerge.
The slight hand raised in surrender at the end
When my kiddo finally decided (at age 20) that it was time for (most of) his enormous Lego collection to go, it was a gut-wrenching moment for me (goodbye childhood!). However, we used this service, which was simple and hassle-free.
This is wonderful to know.
You know what I love? When characters are almost unconscious, but not quite.
Slumped over, a complete ragdoll in the others’ hands, but alert enough to groan softly at different sensations, eyes hooded and glazed, just wide enough to gather a blurry image of their surroundings. Though they’re dizzy and their limbs feel like lead, they gain comfort in the others’ touch, unconsciously leaning into them, eyelids fluttering in hazy relief at the soothing, concerned gestures.
Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?
It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!
It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.
Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this
Happy Moon!
Piers Morgan doesn't understand that actors are different from the characters they portray onscreen

adventure time lore is insane. it starts off just being a goofy kids show that has magic for no reason, but then you learn that all magic users are manic and/or depressed (what betty calls sadness and madness). because it turns out magic is actually a cosmic force beyond mortal comprehension, that itself was learned from cosmic entities that predated the existence of time itself inside a sea of monsters. and "magic" really is just understanding more about the nature of the universe than most people. that, in a way, reality isnt "real" and understanding that allows you to mold it. and thats magic. but that drives you to insanity and/or apathy. and there are beings who hold significant cosmic importance who are more prone to magic. and the reason magic became prevalent on earth is because of a nuclear war a thousand years ago, which released the entity that represents the destruction of all life onto the world. and after a nuclear apocalypse this gave way to a new earth, where magic could thrive. but a lot of the beings we see arent even magical, theyre just mutants from what happened 1000 years ago. and humanity as we know it has been all but wiped out. but everything stays the same because cycles of war and violence continue. and it doesnt matter if its nukes or magic. everything stays the same, but still changes.

i’m “house phone” years old
i'm "computer room" years old
They mean that there's a room in your house where the household's single computer goes (no one has laptops or smartphones) and that is the "computer room" and if you want to type up a document or play a game or go on the internet you go to the computer room and use the computer in there.
Sooo hilarious but I can completely see this being a real conversation between streaming execs 😏
