One thing I appreciate about Barbie was the emphasis on age.
I was emotional when Barbie told the old woman how beautiful she was, and when Ruth came in and helped her become human.
It was also the fact that America Ferrera was the one having the crisis that caused Barbie to do the same.
The whole concept of the toy doesn’t end in childhood. Cause she is an idea; Barbie is forever. She’s everything. She’s meant to inspire women to keep going for what they dream. You don’t age out of these ideas, they grow with you, just like how Margot Robbie grew with America Ferrera.
Years ago I overheard (eavesdropped upon) a telephone conversation between a public parks official and a golf course owner.
Parks Official: No sir, you cannot
Parks Official: No. They are a protected species
Parks Official: You CANNOT shoot them
Parks Official: Or poison them, no. Or trap them
Parks Official: If you like, we canβ no, Iβm it. Iβm the ranking official here. Thereβs nobody above me. My boss? You meanβ¦ the governorβs office? Sure, I guess. Okay bye
After he hung up, he gave me this thousand-yard stare before answering my unvoiced question.
βThereβs a flock of flamingos at the 9th green disrupting golfers. He wanted permission to go out there with a shotgun and take care of matters, but sensed there might beβ¦ legal ramifications. So he called us.β
I laughed. βDoes that happen often?β
βOh, we get calls like that a couple times a month.β
Country clubs should be burned to the ground and their golf courses turned into community gardens i am 10000% serious
Was golf created for the sole purpose of hoarding ridiculously large amounts of land just to brag about how little they use it?
how can anyone feel remotely inconvenienced by the strikes when there is quite literally more existing media than any single person could ever consume in multiple lifetimes, let alone just the one we’re given like. What the fuck
“but if you’re pro-union, why are you anti-cop-union?” because cops are not laborers. what cops do is not labor. they are enforcers of the laws that oppress laborers and exist solely to protect capital. don’t bother me with stupid questions.
