i got so used to seeing taylor once in a blue moon that seeing her out there living her life and her dream at the same time makes me a little emotional

reminding myself to keep myself safe to see my baby cousin / niece grow up. I want to be there for her and I want to see her in her shitty toddler phase and her bitchy teenager phase and I want to see if she turns out kind and loving and to see her love her dogs and her parents and to see her wear the same princess outfit for months at a time I want to see her grow up and I want to be in her life and I want to try for her

I want everybody who’s calling Ken a Trophy Husband to know that he’s actually a Trophy Boyfriend, because when Ruth Handler invented Ken in the 1960s, she was adamant that he would never marry her and instead be her “handsome steady”, so that Barbie remained a figure of independence for the little girls and was never put in the position of housewife.
Her house is hers. She bought it and furnished it with money she made in her own job. In STEM, in politics, in healthcare, in fashion, in academy, in customer service. Her credit card is in her name (women in the US couldn’t have their own regardless of marital status until 1974). And it’s all pink and fashionable because femininity and badassness aren’t mutually exclusive. No matter who you are, you can be anything.
That’s why Barbie’s slogan is “you can be anything”. Teaching these ideals to little girls is why Barbie was created. Empowering women and empowering femininity is the original meaning of the Barbie doll. It’s not that you have to be all this to be a woman, but if you are all or some of this, you too are awesome.
And somehow pop culture deliberately changed that narrative. Sexualised, bimbofied, and villainised her, when she actually isn’t responsible for the impossible beauty standards — people are, she’s just a stylised, not-to-scale toy like most others.
Men are frothing because he’s just Ken and I guess they were expecting her to be just Barbie, but that’s exactly what Ken is. Canonically. A badass woman’s himbo boyfriend.
This movie has the potential to radically change the way we collectively see Barbie into what Ruth Handler originally intended, I’m so very excited

Amnesia IV
the end of the beginning
Summer.
It's bright and early on a Sunday.
Waking up to the sound of birds,
presumably undisturbed as the nearby river serenaded Sharkie's waking ears,
but 7 AM wasn't a time she'd usually wake up at, so it was probably just a stick that happened to find its way onto her...
rather disgusting mattress, but this wasn't the case.
She'd dreamt of something that had never happened, but it felt so real, from the exhaustion of running, to the despair and feeling of hopelessness,
call that déjà rêvé.
While a little alarming, she eventually ended up dismissing the anxiety and thought altogether.
For Sharkie, this is just another dream that has her question reality for 5 minutes and then give up because she can't remember anything in her life that's relevant, or similar, to the dream.
Today was just another day of trying to change her life,
But she's played this game before,
she knew the sun would fall, just as her hopes would,
as she dragged her mud-caked shoes, and tired body, back "home",
if she could even call her mattress and singular pillow a home.
