no FUCKING WAY was the actual ending of the barbie movie her becoming a real woman coinciding with her getting a vagina are you joking. are you actually fucking kidding me. greta gerwig kill yourself

since this post is getting attention i just want to say i am sending all of my love to any of my trans siblings reading this, especially those who are transfem. i'm sorry if you were excited for this movie only to find out it shat on your entire identity, and i'm sorry to all of us who are now going to have to deal with how many people just don't care. how many people will and do love this movie, and how many people who will hate it for reasons unrelated. it's tiring, it's bleak, and we deserve better.

"writers deserve attention more than actors" literally only 2% of actors can pay the bills with acting. For every megastar on screen there are a dozen other people in the shot who are SAG. Acting gets so glamorized but there are SO MANY people in SAG who NEED residuals to live on. Background Party Girl #4 needs her check too!!!! There are people who play recurring characters on syndicated shows who cant afford health insurance!!! Ke Huy Quan gave an oscar winning performance and LOST HIS HEALTH INSURANCE the next year.

"And I think that’s a fucking shame, Bob"

It's disturbing to me that any talk of "human overpopulation" is considered legitimate. Like really really really disturbing. And few in the academic world seem to be sounding the alarm about it. "We are only proposing the need to promote family planning in poor countries with no access to it to curb overpopulation, not coercive measures" ARE YALL FUCKING STUPID??!

Sick and tired of hearing shit like "aaaaaaaaa population growth in India so scareeeyyyyy we gotta 'Help' them have less kids" blatantly ignoring the bloody trail of horrendous human rights violations that came of past attempts to 'Help' lower population growth, which began with heavy incentivization from western nations

Honestly just read up on neo-Malthusianism and the Eugenics movement before you say things.

Family planning technologies are primarily known as a good thing, but history tells us that they have been historically forced upon poor people, and people of color, or if not forced directly, people have been coerced into IUDs and sterilization operations by being denied benefits and food aid etc. unless they get the procedure done.

This is part of reproductive rights and bodily autonomy

*forced upon poor people, people of color, AND people with disabilities

i googled this on a whim and the first thing i get is nyt race science

just as an FYI for those who don't know - the NYT publishes things that are lowkey eugenics and phrenology and race science CONSTANTLY. it flies under the radar except for journalism twitter calling them out but the NYT SUCKS. it is very hard to encourage people to find reliable sources online when the "reliable sources" like papers of record do shit like this, and the NYT is one of the WORST offenders.

people on this site are always trying to do american nationalism But Cute

the us national park system exists because of genocide and the relationship between conservationism and settler colonialism. america has diasporic and immigrant populations because it has imperial wealth gained by pillaging and exploiting the global south and because it continually displaces populations through its economic and military imperialism. the space race sucked and america didn't even win it. ET CETERA
