The Fact That The First Female Human Experience Barbie Goes Through Is Being Self Conscious And Experiencing

“It’s literally impossible to be a woman.

You are so beautiful, and so smart, and it kills me that you don't think you're good enough. Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow, we're always doing it wrong?

You have to be thin, but not too thin, and you can never say you wanna be thin. You have to say you wanna be healthy, but also, you have to BE THIN.

You have to have money, but you can't ask for money because that's crass.

You have to be a boss, but you can't be mean.

You have to lead, but you can't squash other people's ideas.

You're supposed to love being a mother, but don't talk about your kids all the damn time.

You have to be a career woman, but also, always be looking out for other people.

You have to answer for men's bad behavior, which is INSANE, but if you point that out, you're accused of complaining!

You're supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you're supposed to be a part of the sisterhood, but ALWAYS STAND OUT and ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL. But never forget that the system is rigged, so find a way to acknowledge that but ALSO, always be grateful!

You have to never get old. Never be rude. Never show off. Never be selfish. Never fall down. Never fail. Never show fear. Never get OUT OF LINE. It's too hard! It's too contradictory, and nobody gives you a medal or says 'thank you!' And it turns out, in fact, that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also, everything is your fault.

I'm just so tired of watching myself, and every single other woman tie herself into knots, so that people will like us.

And if all of that, is also true for a doll just representing a woman, then I don't even know." -Gloria the barbie movie

this is it. this is exactly it oh my god.

Not quite forgotten songs

Y'know what I think we need to appreciate more?

Songs which you haven't heard for years and then you finally find them.

I don't know how to explain the feeling, but it's just so enjoyable.

ok lets move on from having stupid discussions about stupid shit. im going crazy over a thought about jojos bizarre adventure. bear with me here

is kars the difference between the phantom blood and steel ball run timelines?

The fact that Sally said "you're not broken" to Percy is a line to every nuerodivergent kid.

Because I know that there are so many of us who have thought that we are broken because we see the world differently and the world tells us we are.

And then we have someone like Sally Jackson to tell us all that we're not. That we are not broken, simply in a broken system.

Rebloging this because it's a great post

Straight as Silly String

So, it’s only been within the last year and a half or so that I’ve started to realize I am both gray-romantic and Bisexual. I’ve always either been in denial or just had no fucking clue because queer terms are still things I’m learning.

Anyway, on this journey, I’ve noticed something that’s really starting to piss me off. And just what is that?

Well, it’s the notion hammered into us that the character cast of any given media source is Straight until proven Queer. and it pisses me the hell off!

Example? Well, have you ever written a fic or draw a pic of a same-sex ship and someone comments something like “How can you ship that?! There’s no canon evidence they’re gay!”

I always just agreed or don’t respond because I don’t have the mental energy to fight it. But what I always want to say is “Well, there’s no canon evidence they’re straight either!” when a character doesn’t have a canon relationship. Or if they do have a canon relationship, I find myself wanting to say “well, you don’t know that they’re not not Bi!”.

Why is it that every character has to be explicitly straight until there’s canon evidence of being queer?

I love when companions basically get addicted to traveling with the Doctor, but I also love how we finally got to see the flip side of that. Yes Ruby loves the Doctor, and she loved traveling with them, but she also openly admits that she has paranoia now, feels isolated because all of her friends think she’s crazy, and that she’s been having trouble processing what happened to her. We love to see it.

These are all actual events. These are all things that have actually happened to Eve and I. This is why I get so angry when guys tell me to just take a compliment. No. No. I do not have to accept that, no person has a right to invade my space to assert their dominance. Fuck that. I don’t owe anyone ANYTHING. I’m allowed to go to the grocery store, the subway, or walk down in the street without being accosted by some loser who feels so low that he has too dominate my space to try and make me feel small so they can feel big.

Fuck you street harassment. 

why allow urself to be full of hate when u can be full of pasta instead
