I didn’t have her when I was a kid back in 1980. But as an adult I bought the remake of her and 18 black barbies. I also make sure to give Black dolls to Toys for Tots and any toy drives. Black dolls are crucial for little black girls.

Question of the Day - Are You a Him, Her, or Hen? | VICE United States

The Swedes have come up with a new, sexless pronoun.

In Sweden, the gender-neutral pronoun “hen” is popular in queer, radical left, and feminist circles, because it allows you to describe a person without revealing their sex, a thing that they believe should have nothing to do with one's identity. #sweden #vice

I stumbled upon Mary and Max. and fell madly in love with the film. It combines two of my favorites Clay Animation and Black Comedy. 

Defiantly check it out THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!
