the advertising of certain clothing as "handmade" unintentionally obscures the fact that ALL clothes are handmade. when "handmade" is reserved for the artisanal, whose hands get to count as real human hands? and whose hands are understood as merely part of the machine?

all this (wonderful) coverage about Ken has confirmed to me how generous female art is to male charcters even when writing them as pure accessory. even when she's Everything and he's Nothing, his Nothingness is still intriguing, we want to know WHY he's Nothing, HOW he's Just Ken

ohhhh i thought we were using "fake email jobs" to mean the pointlessness of creating profit. turns out people are using it to gender any office work women do as unnecessary and fantasise about them becoming housewives
imo the funniest and stupidest macro economic outcome is always the most likely so mass layoffs of women with fake email jobs might just be the catalyst for a new american baby boom

makes me DESPAIR the way that people's gut reaction is to frame things like this as "the robots are taking over". this is not Skynet or RoboCop. this is a very mundane, very upsetting industrial accident with a very human cause - TESLA have a history of ignoring workplace safety
A robot at Tesla allegedly attacked an engineer, stabbing its metal claws into his back and arm and leaving a “trail of blood” on the machinery.

i liked "pick-me girl" when it meant girls who would say they "didn't get feminism" as a form of flirting, or put down other girls for a guy's approval. now it just seems to mean "girls who play sports or video games" ???
i like 'girls' girl' as a concept but it would be cool if it meant women getting possessed together by the spirits of 70s feminist theorists and not women supporting each other's compliance with a male dominated culture
