Girl…..at this point, if anyone says that they’re a Barb, I’m just gonna assume they’re mentally I’ll or take that as a red flag. This woman is UNHINGED & not at all in a good way.

Any woman who dates/married a sex offender & actively participates in attacking their partner/spouse’s victim is someone with deep rooted issues & is extremely insecure.

She’s been on a downward spiral for years now. Not to mention has already shown that she’s a horrible woman & NOT a girl’s girl, but I’m glad everyone id seeing that now.

Fuck Nicki Minaj & that whack ass diss track. Stream & buy “HISS” by Megan Thee Stallion. 🐍

and her brother. and herself🥴

I gotta say as a 5'10 girlie with a size 10 foot, it's completely hilarious to me to see this munchkin be so unhinged and pressed that she can no longer reach the shelf her career fell off of, that she can think of no other insult to fling but "bitch you're tall and you have big feet."

Um, OK, Oompa.

I just wanna kick this shit off by sayin' fuck y'all. I ain't gotta clear my name on a motherfuckin' thing. Every time I get mentioned, one of y'all bitchass niggas get twenty-four hours of attention. I'm finna get this shit off my chest and lay it to rest, let's go.

not nicki thinking the minion’s really trying to overshadow her shitty diss LMAO TAKE THE LOSS

「Commission」 Since it's a birthday present, my commissioner also has a little note to that birthday star ^^

And it was a pleasure working on it, thank you！！✨

so, let's talk about this. because it's not quite true

Barbie was not the only fashion doll on the market (much less the only one to ever exist, a worrying claim from the first Barbie movie trailer). Dolls like Madame Alexander's Cissy, Ideal's Miss Revlon, and Uneeda's Dollikin were all available before Barbie's 1959 release

While Mattel would love for you to believe that Barbie was the first, Cissy- released in 1955 -would like a word.

Ruth Handler might well have SAID that she "noticed the only dolls on the market were babies," but she and her husband ran an existing toy company; Barbie was not Mattel's first project. She 100% would have been aware of the other fashion dolls available. In short: if she said that, she was...almost certainly stretching the truth.

There was indeed pushback against fashion dolls from cultural commentators who thought little girls should only play with baby dolls, to encourage Maternal Instincts(TM)...but that dates at least back to the French fashion dolls of the 1860s-1890s, which were accused of making little girls "worldly" in magazines of the day. It wasn't a new idea developed especially in response to Barbie.

What set Barbie apart from other fashion dolls was twofold:

Still unusual! Just not unique

But I'm not really here to split hairs about which was the actual first 1950s fashion doll. My main thesis is this: Barbie was NOT originally meant to be empowering.

...or disempowering. Or anything but a fashion doll for which a businesswoman trying to make money felt there was a niche.

Yes, she had a career at the beginning- as a fashion model. Hardly a job many men were trying to keep women out of. The first non-modeling careers she had were ballerina, flight attendant, and registered nurse, female-dominated fields that nobody was challenging women's right to pursue.

(Original Barbie box. If you can't read the text, it says "Barbie(T.M.) Teen Age Fashion Model.")

That's not to say that Handler was completely without deeper thoughts on Barbie's place in the world. She was adamant that, while Barbie might model a bridal gown, she would never actually marry Ken to prevent her from being tied down as a wife and mother. And certainly later in her life, she got onboard with the "girls can do anything!" messaging of later Barbie generations.

But to say that Barbie was intended to be #empowering or make a statement from the beginning is just revisionist history that's bound to leave people disappointed. I mean, what's Twitter OP going to think when they discover that an early Barbie babysitting set came with a little book called "How to Lose Weight" that simply said "Don't eat!" on the back? Handler was still president of the company at the time- how does that fit with this starry-eyed vision of her creating an empowering doll for little girls?

Putting Barbie on a pedestal is going to lead to just as rude an awakening as casting her in the "worthless bimbo doll" role.

i’d also like to chime in with some cynicism about the mythologized state of american women’s empowerment in the late 50s. women knew they could do men’s jobs because they had done them during the war. fifteen years previously women had built ships and airplanes! they’d flown cargo planes and drove trucks and worked in mines and and worked farms and fought fires and kept things running while men went off and killed themselves. then the surviving men came back and demanded, as their due, that all the women get back to the kitchen. and some women agreed and some women disagreed and were violently persuaded to agree. and that was the 50s.

women were very much removed, wholesale, by force, from the workplaces they had capably run. they were allowed to substitute for men in a pinch, but never ever compete with them. and the men who enforced this relegation knew very well that women could do men’s jobs, because they had just done them. it was imperative after that to make sure what had just happened was seen as a tragic aberration of the natural order, and best forgotten.

so like. women in the 60′s weren’t inventing women’s empowerment from a state of childish innocence. the older you get the more you realize fifteen, twenty years isn’t all that long. things can change, fast, and for the worse. these girls with their air hostess barbies, their aunts might have been pilots.

every step forward, women clawed back from men by force. feminism wasn’t invented out of a naive ignorance of any alternatives, where women suddenly suggest a bold new idea that just occurred to them and then men realize what big sillies they all were. women can do anything that men can do, and they always have. the fight is over whether or not they get to. 

RAAAA

happy pride

okay so spock (the alien in blue) essentially goes into heat. like literal heat like an animal. Anyway, spock’s in bloodlust in this episode and must go back to vulcan to have sex with his finace (or someone. but its supposed to be his fiance) or he’ll literally die. this is called pon farr and some backstory spock is half human and thought he wouldnt go through pon farr so he abandoned his HOT fiance to fuck around in space except oops pon farr happens so. he and kirk (in yellow getting his tits cut open, he’s also spocks captain and best friend) and their other friend mccoy go to vulcan so he can have sex with his fiance or get married or whatever so he doesn’t die. but then spock’s fiance (t’pring) is like no i dont want to marry spock i want to have him fight someone to death (which she can do) and spock at this point is fully in the ‘blood lust’ and is basically not in his right mind and doesnt get what’s happening. and t’pring picks kirk to be her ‘champion’ in the fight (her logic is that if spock dies in the fight she doesnt have to marry him and if kirk dies, spock will be so upset with her he won’t marry her anymore anyway). anyway kirk doesnt know that its a fight to the death and so he’s like of course i’ll do this fight if it’ll help spock and then he gets told it’s a fight to the death and he goes WHAT and right afterwards spock slices his titties open like in the gif. also eventually spock and kirk roll around in the sand and kirk fakes his death and THIS somehow knocks spock out of his blood lust and he goes back to the ship super sad bc he’s killed his ‘best friend’ only to discover kirk’s alive and we see one of his biggest smiles of the series (a big deal bc spock is vulcan and they dont show emotion). anyway this aired as the season opener in 1967. know your history and all that happy pride

weirder with context

y’all need to stop making a living off of young, bipoc artists for nothing

feel like this mocking of 2012 cringe tumblr hits different for those of us who were there. to my younger followers: it really was like that.

Is funny when doctors and other peeps act like my problem is that I’m obsessed w/ my disability. Um no. You have it backwards. The problem is I HAVE to be cuz it is a constant problem.

I’m deaf. About 25 years ago, I was working for a little while as a classroom aide at a program that worked with deaf children with multiple disabilities. All the teachers and other classroom aides were hearing, but they all could sign.  Not at native signing level, but enough to carry on a basic conversation.

So, one evening, all us adults bring all the kids to a special one-night camping trip. All the kids are put to sleep, which frees up the adults to get into a circle and have some fun to ourselves for a while. People start talking, except they were forgetting to sign.  So I reminded them to please sign so I could understand them.  One of them told me that, no, they weren’t going to sign because this was our night to have fun and not have to think about communication.

So no one signed all night. They talked, they laughed, they had fun. I sat, feeling lost and cut off and betrayed. I remember wishing I had had the nerve to say, “No, what you mean is, you want a night in which everyone EXCEPT ME gets to not think about communication.”

I think sometimes when non-disabled people insist that we are too obsessed with our disability, what they REALLY mean is, “I wish you would stop reminding me that I have a shared responsibility as a fellow member of society to proactively ensure that we all have an opportunity to be engaged in society.  I wish you would just pretend to not have a disability so I can pretend that I don’t have to do anything to enable you to do the same things the rest of us are doing.”

The luxury of not needing to think about disability in a society that is designed to lock us on the cold outside is a non-disabled privilege. 

Say hello to mechanically separated chicken. It’s what all fast-food chicken is made from—things like chicken nuggets and patties. Also, the processed frozen chicken in the stores is made from it. Basically, the entire chicken is smashed and pressed through a sieve—bones, eyes, guts, and all. it comes out looking like this. There’s more: because it’s crawling with bacteria, it will be washed with ammonia, soaked in it, actually. Then, because it tastes gross, it will be reflavored artificially. Then, because it is weirdly pink, it will be dyed with artificial color. But, hey, at least it tastes good, right? High five, America!

oh my god

bitch that’s the tubby custard machine

date of origin: 2012

A classic

this just makes me wanna get some nuggets from mcdonalds for some reason

the fact op thought they could even get away with that blatant misinformation in the first place when the graphic they used was the fucking Tubby Custard machine amuses me like.

Even if you didn’t know what Teletubbies was that thing does not at all look like something you’d find in a factory, it’s colorful and colors cost extra.

that’s because OP’s post is a joke

I feel weird that I’m been here long enough to remember the original context–OP is mocking this post:

the picture clearly looks like some sort of strawberry ice cream, so OP did a copypasta of the original text and replaced with picture with something even funnier.

Both posts went around a lot, but it’s funny that the second, mocking post is now being reposted like OP is some kind of idiot instead of a comedic genius

the original post is actually still here: https://early-onset-of-night-blog.tumblr.com/post/1206666159/say-hello-to-mechanically-separated-chicken-its and apparently the original OP is a satire blog, anyway. So nobody was serious in the whole exchange

Getting new context for this ancient meme in the year of our lord 2021 is giving me whiplash.
