Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?
It's difficult for me to choose a favorite book, but I do have amazing memories from a favorite series.
Back when I was nine years old, the girls in my class were toting these gorgeously bound books complete with classical portraits, elegant fonts, and ribbon bookmarks. When I asked what they were reading, one girl…

One thing I appreciate about Barbie was the emphasis on age.
I was emotional when Barbie told the old woman how beautiful she was, and when Ruth came in and helped her become human.

The whole concept of the toy doesn't end in childhood. Cause she is an idea; Barbie is forever. She's everything. She's meant to inspire women to keep going for what they dream. You don't age out of these ideas, they grow with you, just like how Margot Robbie grew with America Ferrera.

Getting this off my chest, but I worked in a small museum at my job and we had a display about the indigenous people who lived in the area. I was asked twice what they were called (the display was directly in front of them when they asked), and twice I referred to them in the present tense and stated that they still live in the area, and TWICE my information was retold in the PAST TENSE and everything else ignored.
Only once did a random guy who gave off weird vibes at first ask if we had any books about the native people because he could not find any anywhere and really wanted to learn and support them. Went out of our way to jot down titles written by members of the tribe, and he was so sweetly grateful.
People really do just default to "I miss the natives. Sometimes, it's like I can still hear their voices" when they are literally still here
