“the barbie movie critiques capitalism!” i need y'all to understand and internalize that you can enjoy things even if they’re not ideologically pure
yes insisting that matel’s glorified toy ad movie is anticapitalist is a wild assertion. but it’s also fine to enjoy the dressing-up-in-pink movie without ritualistic self-admonishment and shame. like, you can enjoy a thing and also be aware that the thing is not going to liberate us from the shackles of capitalism. both things can be true.
The touch screens at work are so fucked I’m starting to grow a second layer of nails under my own nails to help me hammer down the fucking numbers. I’m turning into a new species.
