Recently I’ve taken a step away from social media, which has mostly been refreshing. My attention settling on objects other than the rapid fire of jokes and discourse is worth the tradeoff of feeling more connected to a lot of people who I don’t really know, and in this regard Bluesky isn’t so different than Twitter (now X?) was. One downside is that I still have opinions I want to share with the world and without the ability to fire off a few posts like I’m venting steam, I am forced to accede to the life of the blogger.
it makes me feel one thousand years old sometimes to remember coming of age in the, like, adbusters/culture jamming/anticonsumerist left of the 90s/early 2000s. there is a ton to criticize about those politics, but i feel so adrift when people i feel largely aligned with are so straightforwardly thrilled about stuff like this, so i am truly grateful for your well-articulated "THIS SUCKS ACTUALLY"
I have repeatedly failed to articulate what it is about Barbie that I so much distrust and dislike. My friends feel I am just trolling so thanks for this take, it made me feel somewhat sane again.

This is one of the best things I've read on the film -- thank you so much for sharing it.
