the thing that gets me about about barbie is that barbie land wasn’t even purposefully a matriarchy, barbie land came about because of the way little girls were playing with their barbies, it wasn’t created by mattel it was created by the people using the toys, so the fact that the barbies ignored the ken’s and had girls night every night wasn’t because they had some bias against him, it was just an accurate depiction of how kids play with barbies. I had some ken dolls as a child and they were essential to the plot in the sense that of course my barbie has a boyfriend because that represented the world i saw around me, but also he didn’t have any purpose in my dream world because i was only interested in what the girls were doing because they represented me and how i wanted to be, I wanted girls night every night I wanted the girls to be president and austronauts and not because of some inherent feminist idea but because I was a girl and I wasn’t thinking about boys, ken was an accessory. this movie wasn’t made to change the world but it showed a different perspective than what we usually see which I thought was fun. Men don’t have to be the centre of all our stories and its not even because we hate them, sometimes we’re just not thinking about them

Anyways , Today I had

I have never met anybody who became incredibly successful in any area of their life until they have suffered and sacrificed and kept their focus until they have sweated and fought through tears and trials and tests , so if you have a dream and you commit to it
IT WILL COME TO PASS

(before any Eragon girlie gets excited, I'm sorry I wasn't the one that bought Murtagh, my friend was, I shamefully haven't read Eragon yet)
📚This last week was a mess tbh - which makes sense, bc next week is spring break, and the week before that is always chaotic. I had my first test, which actually went pretty well, I had the most chaotic classes, and I also made plans for the holidays (me and my best friend are going to her aunt's place by the beach, even tho apparently it's going to rain all week lol)
for some reason, this weekend I barely did anything, but maybe this was just some kind of reset before the holidays... Also, next week I'll probably won't be posting as much, since I'll be offline most of the week. Or maybe i'll queue some posts.... we'll see.
(lastly, yes, i was wearing a plastic tiara in the laptop pic. I needed a little incentive to study lol 👑)
hope y'all had a wonderful weekend <3
Note to myself : Writing notes alongside while learning is the best method to absorb the text .

inspired by boop day, reblog this post if its ok for people to send you random asks and interact on your posts with no judgement. i want to talk to people.
discipline is self care
self care isn't just face masks and bubble baths, it's also doing your assignment in advance so you won't pull an all nighter before the deadline, cooking at home instead of ordering out; discipline is an act of self love and care
