I'm glad I decided to watch this one instead of just thinking I'd already posted it.

The Barbie movie isn't about girl power. It's not about how women can do everything they set their mind to. It's about how sometimes women are tired and average and that has to be okay too, because you don't have to do everything to be worth anything. (And that this is also true of men.)

I love how the horse approached for the cat to hop in

I couldn't find where these bad boys are located, b/c Google search thinks I'm looking for photos of ankles. Anyway, in French, they're called "les escaliers de l'horreur" or the stairs of horror.

For some reason I have doubts about putting my life in this man’s hands.

I wasn't going to derail the disability pride month post for people with peanut allergies but in relation to that topic

I have never seen another allergy that has been so viscerally hated and mocked by people working in education like nut allergies. I've seen fellow teachers cringe that their classroom was the "nut free" classroom that year. Support staff that are trained and willfully don't follow cross contamination protocol in the lunchroom because it's too "tedious" or "time-consuming". Full preschools + childcare centers that refuse to accommodate nut allergies. Schools where the only free lunch is a PB&J. Before/after school programs and summer programs whose food curriculum has nuts and doesn't provide an alternative activity.

Allergy discrimination is so so insidious and prevalent. It's happening behind their back and it is everything from the exposure joke to possibly causing someone to go into anaphylaxis from willful ignorance.

Also other parents in the classroom are guilty too. The "not my child not my problem" brain rot means that those lunchboxes are like bombs for airborne exposure allergies

I was not downplaying this. The stigma is real, and people are 100% willing to let people with allergies die.

This woman was laughed at for asking for allergy accommodations at multiple points in her trip, and was denied to the point that she was practically told she'd be refused care in the event of anaphylaxis.

WIN !

why win?

The original release date was 9 months after atsv which was a.) impossible to achieve b.) even trying to reach that date would be extremely traumatic for the workers

The "delayed indefinitely" just means it's delayed for an unknown amount of time, due to the strikes. Since the voice actors and other staff are incapable of working on the movie until the strikes are finished
