Light Spoilers For Barbie!!

the thing about ted lasso is it drove up in a bus, slammed right into me, and didn’t even stop to ask if i was okay because tonight’s episode took me by the face and said “our parents aren’t perfect and they never have been and it’s okay to love them the way we did when we were little and still be angry with them for the people they made us into and all we can try to do is be better and lead with the love before the anger” haha

opening social media in the morning like newspaper to see which male celebrity tuns out to be a sex offender today

when greg suggested giving something to tom and tom said this wasn't gonna be a thing, my heart stopped and i truly thought we were about to witness the most sickening bj on earth

We did it gang

me omw to a barbie / oppenheimer double feature

lazy summer

the camera focusing on Kendall at the end of Shiv's sentence when she says Logan was hard on women and "couldn't hold a whole woman in his head" right after we saw Kendall eulogize Logan as having "created" his three children to the erasure of his own mother (also noted by the camera focusing on Caroline's reaction). and right after we saw Kendall threaten Rava and intimidate his kids and make moves to take the kids from her. and right after we saw him attack Jess and call her stupid for wanting to quit and blaming her for telling him on the day of his dad's funeral when he's the one who made her tell him that day. and right after we saw him help try to steal an election for a fascist who undoubtedly as part of his platform wants to criminalize women's bodily autonomy (one of the reasons Jess wants to quit).......... goddamn. the cycle of abuse and the father-to-son inheritance of refusing to even conceptualize that women are real.

It's hilarious when people are like "taylor swift's songs are engineered to be as generically relatable as possible" because then you actually listen to the songs in question and she's just like

"I am a SELF-DESTRUCTIVE MONSTER who ruins everything I touch, I MANIPULATED everyone into liking me, my potential has been WASTED due to circumstances of MY OWN CREATION, I go back to an EMPTY HOUSE because everyone in my life has moved on, I am a BLEEDING OPEN WOUND, all my kindness is really just NARCISSISM IN DISGUISE, I will BREAK MYSELF FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT, I STARVED MYSELF in order to be saved by an idealised romance, I can go ANYWHERE except for THE PLACE I CALLED HOME, I will SPIRAL UNCONTROLLABLY if left to my own devices, I AM THE INSTRUMENT OF MY OWN DESTRUCTION, THIS WAS INEVITABLE"

I felt incredibly uncomfortable while watching this scene. It felt like every time I got mocked by men. I got so incredibly frustrated.

the scene towards the end where shiv is essentially trapped in a room with all the men in her life turning on her?  panic attack inducing.

whoever directed this episode did an amazing job of imbuing that scene with misogynistic violence even though there was no actual physical violence.
