celebrating diversity & imagination

Barbie’s magical world has inspired generations of dreamers and storytellers, and I can’t wait to see the new Barbie movie. It reminds me of my own childhood, when I used to create endless stories with my dolls. I’m glad that Barbie now embraces the rich diversity of our society, and I hope this will encourage more self-confidence and kindness in the future.

As a child, my Barbie dolls were my companions in a realm of creativity and wonder. Without a sister and with cousins who were much older, I found solace and joy in those solitary moments of imaginative play. My dolls were vessels of adventure, friendship, and dreams as I crafted tales of fantasy and exploration.

Yet, I also remember how the dolls of that era portrayed a singular ideal of beauty – one shape, one size, with exaggerated features that were far from reflective of the real world. Barbie, with her big eyes, lips, perky figure, and blonde hair, instilled a subconscious notion that beauty conformed to a narrow mold. This, in turn, sparked insecurities and misconceptions about self-image that lingered into many of our generation's formative years.

Now, as the mother of an almost five-year-old daughter, I've witnessed the evolution of Barbie in a heartening way. We are both brimming with anticipation for the new Barbie movie, and together we've delved into the realm of imaginative play, just as I did decades ago. But what strikes me most is the representation and diversity that Barbie now embodies.

A recent visit to Toys r Us was an eye-opening experience. The array of Barbie dolls I saw reflected the beauty of diversity in our world. Curvy dolls, dolls with disabilities, dolls with different skin tones – it was a celebration of the reality that everyone is unique and beautiful in their own way. I was moved to tears as I realized the profound impact that these diverse dolls could have on my daughter and countless other young minds.

The transformation in Barbie's image signifies a pivotal shift in the values we aim to instill in our children. No longer are they confined to a narrow notion of beauty. Instead, they are exposed to rich differences that embrace every shade, every shape, and every ability. The creators of Barbie have finally demonstrated an understanding of the significance of representation in children's toys – a recognition that childhood should be a celebration of diversity and an opportunity to cultivate self-love. I don’t mean to suggest that toy manufacturers are solely responsible for shaping our children’s self-image, since we as parents have the duty to help them love themselves. However, when they see toys that reflect their identity and diversity in toy stores and movies, it adds something extra to what we’re already doing for them as parents.

My hope for my daughter's generation is that they grow up in a world where self-love and acceptance are second nature. That the dolls they play with, the movies they watch, and the stories they hear can all contribute to this understanding. The progress Barbie has made reflects a larger cultural shift toward embracing individuality and rejecting harmful stereotypes.

In raising my daughter in this new era of Barbie, I am filled with optimism. I hope that her journey will be marked by confidence, compassion, and the knowledge that beauty comes in many shapes and forms. This newfound representation our children see in their toys alone is a step toward dismantling the ideals of beauty that once plagued me and countless others.

Author plug…I’m putting Road Trip on sale (for you Disney adventuring couples) Disney has made a lot of changes since 1976-77 when I came for the first time. Yes, it’s more crowded, more expensive, and just MORE, but it’s also just starting to present the True diversity of experiences it promised in Its A Small World. And the range of opportunities, from Star Wars to Coco, from princesses to the inside of a mind that lets neurodivergent folks know they belong here too. Do they have a long way to go? ABSOLUTELY! Am I thrilled to be watching these changes in my lifetime? YES! From Ohana to Wakanda Forever, I hope Disney continues to reflect the wide range of experiences in our world and uses their massive influence to make a difference for marginalized folks. My queer heart thanks you and cheers you on for the future challenges! Oh, and if you come during this Halloween season, you must try this Pan Dulce Ice Cream Sandwich. I barely got a few bites of dulce de leche ice cream before the fam destroyed it! @disneyland #queerDisney #diversityisbeautiful #diadelosmuertos #halloweendisney @bestlifeandbeyond thank you for the treat suggestions! #amwritingromance https://www.instagram.com/p/CjbtsTnJvSj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Babsi Ballo once said, and I find this phrase quite beautiful: "In the diversity of flowers lies the beauty of the garden; so it is with humanity and being transgender. Each soul enriches the whole, and in the acceptance of each individual, the world finds its true harmony."

Repost @idntimes | Sedari kecil, kita mengenal istilah global warming. yaitu kenaikan suhu global yang disebabkan oleh meningkatnya konsentrasi gas rumah kaca di atmosfer. Tetapi, kini muncul istilah baru, yakni global boiling!

Istilah ini dicetuskan oleh Sekretaris Jenderal Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa (PBB), António Guterres, dalam news.un.org.

Menurut Carlo Buentempo, direktur Copernicus Climate Change Service, tiga minggu pertama di bulan Juli adalah tiga minggu terhangat yang pernah diamati. la yakin bahwa Juli 2023 kemungkinan besar akan menjadi Juli terpanas dalam rekor.

Bukan hanya suhu udara yang perlu dikhawatirkan, tetapi juga suhu lautan. Faktanya, suhu lautan di bulan Juli berada pada level tertinggi yang pernah tercatat sepanjang tahun ini. Bahkan, polanya sudah terlihat sejak akhir April.

Salah satu penyebab lautan menghangat adalah El Niño. Dilansir NASA Science, selama El Niño berlangsung, suhu air di Samudra Pasifik mengalami kenaikan rata-rata 3-5 derajat celsius.

Berbicara di Markas Besar PBB, António menyerukan perlunya aksi global untuk melawan perubahan iklim. Apalagi, sekarang era global warming telah berakhir dan digantikan oleh global boiling!

la mengatakan bahwa para pemimpin dunia harus meningkatkan aksi iklim dan keadilan iklim, terutama mereka yang berasal dari negara industri terkemuka G20, yang bertanggung jawab atas 80 persen emisi global. Selain itu, António juga mendesak semua negara untuk mencapai nol emisi karbon pada pertengahan abad.

Semuanya harus bersatu untuk mempercepat transisi dari bahan bakar fosil ke energi terbarukan, menghentikan ekspansi minyak dan gas, serta menghapus batu bara secara bertahap. Ini bertujuan untuk menyelamatkan orang-orang dari dampak perubahan iklim, khususnya di negara-negara berkembang.

Today has been International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia. 🏳️‍🌈 The date of May 17th was chosen for IDAHoBiT as this was the date in 1990 when the World Health Organisation finally declassified homosexuality as a mental illness. 🌈👍 Despite this, LGBT+ people across the world continue to face hate, discrimination and violence. I stand in solidarity with LGBT+ people around the world, and will always do my best speak up against discrimination and injustice whenever I can. 🗣️🗯️ ⭐ The theme for 2022 is ‘Our Bodies, Our Lives, Our Rights‘. 💖👍 . . . #idahobit #diversityandinclusion #diversitymatters #pride🌈 #lgbtqpride #lgbtpositivity #stophomophobia #biphobia #transphobia #lovenothate #lgbtsupport #lgbtrights #transrights #transrightsarehumanrights #happypride #happypridemonth #colourlover #rainbowcolors #rainbowcolours #rainbowlove #jewelrywithmeaning #idahobit2022 #femaleownedbusiness #lgbtartist #lgbtqcommunity #lgbtfamily #pride2022 #prideflag #smallbizlife #diversityisbeautiful https://www.instagram.com/p/CdqulSlB-8m/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Posted @withregram • @pacingpixie When we call a disability (not symptom or illness) 'mild' or 'severe', it ranks Disabled people by their proximity to an 'abled' standard. Those that deviate most significantly are labelled 'severely' Disabled. This standard is informed by a Capitalist system that values being 'productive' above all else. But we all know that your productivity is not your worth. So can we break this ableist yard stick already? ID: it says, "Disability is often conceptualised like this:" There is a picture of a scale with "Severely Disabled" on one end and "non-Disabled" on the other". When it really looks more like this:" There is a picture of a network in the shape of a heart where every node is a different colour. "It's a network, a web, a matrix" "and a beautiful one at that" #disability #disabilityawareness #disabilityadvocate #ableismistrash #ableism #capitalismsucks #disabilitypride #thefutureisaccessible #accessislove #disabledandproud #disabilityisdiversity #diversity #diversityandinclusion #cripple #cripplepunk #intellectualdisabilities #inclusionrevolution #diversityisbeautiful #differentnotless #babewithamobilityaid #wheelchairdontcare #diversityispower #disabilitycommunity #grateful #community #disabilityjustice #disabilitysupport #capitalismkills #anticapitalism #ableismexists https://www.instagram.com/p/CPYy1xHDomvbh4yLgArwexMBcUp7ynEE5iWBdk0/?utm_medium=tumblr

When you have an incredible mural partner, a mask turned accidental blindfold isn’t a huge deal. 📸 by @arrogantworm The diversity we are so lucky to be surrounded by on New York City sidewalks and subways is one of my favorite aspects of the city. I turned my sketches from over the years on trains and in parks into a mural of our lives pre-COVID. Imagining the level of detail I wanted to portray in this second mural of the series at Accenture NY, I realized I would need to experiment with new, much larger and more portable materials. Each person was painted individually and then I assembled the crowd on site with @enjoymyeye. During a little art escape upstate in the forest with @natmatsky and @balintzsako I painted these larger than life people. Hopefully one day in the the future we will be able to see everyone’s beautiful faces from around the globe in this lovely city. Again much thanks to the team @AccentureUS, as well as @dcourcier, @laurendickerhoof, Ashley Rosenbluth and a number of photos shown here by Stephen Rutterford @arrogantworm #AccentureNYC #weareillustrationx #diversityisbeautiful #ilovenewyork #mtadrawing #nycparks (at Hudson Yards New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTNsXQfLub0/?utm_medium=tumblr

The first black doctor I recall having was my orthodontist, Dr. Danette Smart, in Charlotte. I wanted to be just like her! So, to be in the trauma bay with all these brilliant, black docs felt surreal. Reminded me of how important it is to see people that look like you in these spaces, not only as a patient, but as a physician too! Hope this inspires someone to keep pushing. We need you!
