Gotta love the tumblr time honored tradition of telling each other how to turn off fucking annoying updates 🤝🏽✨
rose tyler hated her shitty job, wore £1 mascara, charity shop sweatpants, boxed hair bleach, couldn't keep her room clean, hated rich people, was called a slag by the queen, constantly chat shit about her mum, slapped a guy that made her mum cry, astonished herself when she could do maths, 19 year old runaway, and the most beautiful woman on my tv 2005 - 2006
she rewrote her own history so she could hold her dad as he died and realigned the stars so she could save the doctor
okay so turns out that the barbie movie is actually a nuanced examination of womanhood and the roles of women within the patriarchy and how difficult it is to achieve self actualisation in a system that actively works against your success. and also how kens can achieve self actualisation via dance sequence
barbie spoilers?? maybe?? but idk why one of the things i loved most about the movie that i’m not seeing anyone else talk about (because maybe it’s a hard thing to bring up, or “bad” to talk about, or whatever, but) is that sharon rooney features so prominently as one of the main Barbies in Barbieland. i know sharon rooney from her role as rae earl in “my mad fat diary” where it was the first time i was seeing myself and my struggles with binge eating disorder and depression and fatness being portrayed on tv, and while maybe it wasn’t a super mainstream show (idk how popular it was in the uk), it was a show that was seeing me.
and now sharon rooney is playing a barbie in THE barbie movie, and she is not “plus size barbie” or “body neutrality barbie” or like any of mattel’s recent attempts to make barbie have a normal body despite the original doll’s unrealistic proportions. she’s just a barbie!!!! she’s as much of a barbie as any of the other barbies!!!! idk why that’s giving me such a thrill especially to see her in the movie and i can’t really articulate what it is (that a person without margot robbie’s body shape/size is perfectly, evenly on par with her in a movie of this caliber – not the main character or star, obviously, but is equally considered as beautiful and perfect as stereotypical barbie and all the other barbies just by being herself) – but i loved loved loved loved loved it and i’m so happy that it was just a *thing* without needing to be quantified.
she's doing the imagining 🩷
as a kid i used to be obsessed with these barbie books from the 80s/90s and i remember that i always wanted to be able to draw like that so here's me healing my inner child by doing just that

[ID: a tweet by @/mapgar1986 saying,
Every time self taping comes up in SAG- AFTRA discussions I just remember that Lukas Gage clip where an unmuted director complained about having to look at "poor people in their tiny apartments"
/end ID]
[Video Description:
a recording of a self-taped zoom audition. Lukas Gage's screen is pinned, showing him in front of a small section of his apartment as he prepares to deliver his material.
Tristram Shapeero: [not pictured] "These poor people live in these tiny apartments, like, I'm looking at his- y'know, background and he's got his TV, and y'know-"
Gage: [pained expression] "Oof, yeah, unmuted-" "I know it's a shitty apartment, that's why- give me this job so I can get a better one." "Alright. Ready?"
Shapeero: "Oh my god I am so, so sorry, Lukas- [unintelligible] I'm so sorry."
Gage: [overlapping, jokingly] "No, it's totally-" "Listen, I'm living in a 4x4 box, it's fine, just give me the job and we'll be fine."
Shapeero: "No I'm- I'm mortified." [overlapping a burst of awkward laughter from another participant]

To understand how ridiculous this is, the first successful powered airplane flew this same year, 1903
You’re understating how ridiculous
it wasn’t just the same year. it was nine days later
how do newspaper clippings from a hundred years ago violate community guidelines
to fly is to go against the will of god
as a child being told "the moon controls the tides" with no additional explanation was like. oh okay. you want me to believe in magic? you're talking about magic right now? okay. fine
sorry. only semi-related but i simply wasn't ready for "the sun is a distant gorilla". thank you NASA
