mattel just made the first Proship Barbie doll in the world. she wears a kylo ren shirt with rey’s 3 buns and comes with a ravenclaw scarf, a laptop open to a ridiculous tumblr argument, and a protest sign that calls for donations to ao3. post-release, mattel got slammed by proshippers for pushing such an offensive caricature of their people, who took to tumblr spouting liberal chickenshit like “ALRIGHT THAT’S IT. YOU MESSED WITH THE WRONG FANDOM MOTHERCLUCKERS!” or other such cringe. but they weren’t alone! antishippers also began to deride mattel for supporting “dangerous perverts”. mattel interpreted this as them needing to round out their lineup and created the world’s first Antiship Barbie, who comes with an asexual pride pin with a dragon on it ordered from etsy, incomplete algebra homework, a genshin impact yaoi keychain handmade by underpaid chinese child laborers, and a phone with a sticker image of Hatsune Miku: Project Sekai Colorful Stage. proshippers started to buy both barbies and make them lez out as a way of “sticking it to the man”. this consumerism became a trend on proship twitter. adult proshippers began to tag their least-favorite 15 year old antishippers under pictures of the shipcourse barbies lezzing out saying “this you?” which led to a hate brigade against all shipcourse barbie owners, pro- AND anti-ship. someone saw both shipcourse barbies in the back of a youtuber’s vlog and loudly cancelled her, yeah it was a whole thing. anyway you wanna go out for coffee this weekend?

I mean, maybe I’m just the kindest niceyest person in the whole wide world but I feel like inviting people to anonymously talk shit about eachother is a really bad move irregardless of the bigotries of the environment, but it’s cruel and irresponsible for these blogs to let transmisogynists have a space to speak

Hi, my name is Naomi, and I’m from Texas. I’m organizing this fundraiser on behalf of my friend, Ahmed Abu Al-Rish, who is in Gaza. This fundraiser is meant to help him and his family escape the genocide.

“Hello, my name is Ahmed, 19 years old from Gaza. I finished high school with a high average and a very good grade, and because of the genocide war on Gaza, I was deprived of enrolling in university. I had dreams and ambitions to study photographic design, but I was deprived of all of that because of the genocide war on Gaza. I was living the best days of my youth. But with the beginning of this war, I became unable to live my normal life. At least our warm house sheltered me and my family until it was bombed for the first time, that damned night. Our house has become like a ghost town. We continued to seek refuge from death there until we were besieged and displaced from our safety under fire to a tent (shelter) in the bitter cold of winter, with the lack of basic necessities of life (water pollution, high cost of living, disease, insect infestation,

‏malnutrition,

‏Difficulty of movement, overcrowding), and many other daily difficulties, especially with the significant increase in prices. This was not the first time we had to be displaced. We moved again from a tent in Rafah to another tent in Khan Yunis. I then returned to our destroyed home to repair what we could to find shelter for my family, despite not having all the basic necessities of life (destroyed sanitation infrastructure and water lines, destroying any form of life). Please help me achieve my dream of completing my academic career at university and for my family to survive this genocide and escape to a safe place. And travel ❤️❤️”

Seriously though, do most Americans not know that the reason you can mock the shit out of public officials without getting charged for libel is Hustler Magazine? No really. In 1983, Hustler Magazine ran a fake ad that Jerry Falwell (yes, that Jerry Falwell) went to bone-town with his own mother in a dirty outhouse. This was in response to Falwell's Moral Majority, a puritanical organization that tried to put prayer in public schools, ban abortion, ban homosexual acts, ban any 'anti-family' news outlet or magazine, and convert Jews to Christianity. For obvious reasons, Jerry Falwell's Moral Panic PAC (not the actual name it was definitely called the Moral Majority and NEVER represented the majority of Americans) represented a threat to Hustler and its ilk. The ad itself was a parody of a Campari ad that was running at the time, asking people to describe their 'first time'. The original would be a bit risqué and end with people revealing they were talking about Campari, an alcoholic drink, not sex.

In the ad, there is a fake interview wherein Jerry Falwell supposedly confesses to banging his mom in a fly-ridden outhouse while drunk on a Campari based cocktail called a "Fire and Brimstone" after chasing a goat out of the outhouse. The ad concludes with fake Jerry Falwell saying he's always drunk when he preaches and he calls his teachings bullshit. At the very bottom of the ad, in very fine print (too fine to be legible on the image I found of the ad) it tells the reader that this is a parody and should not be taken seriously. Well, Falwell was pissed and took Hustler (and its editor Larry Flynt) to court for libel. From 1986-1988, different courts said yes it was libel or no it wasn't libel until, in 1988, the case made it to the Supreme Court. In an 8-0 ruling, the Supreme Court said 'Yeah, being accused of incest in a parody ad probably hurt Falwell's feelings, but the First Amendment protects free speech that is critical of public officials and public figures.' Without Hustler Magazine writing a distasteful porn parody about a homophobic, anti-woman, anti-semitic man who wanted forced government-sanctioned Christianity to be the state religion of the United States, your free speech wouldn't be protected. Pornographers aren't 'the devil' but our friend John Waters up there is correct. Pornographers protect our rights. Whether you agree with porn or not, if you live in the United States, you ought to thank a pornographer for your free speech and the best way to thank a pornographer is by rallying behind pornographers' rights to exist and distribute porn. So next time someone on any platform comes for the pornographers, remember that you owe the pornographers for your right to mock politicians and other public figures. Thank pornographers and back them up.

Since the holiday toy drive post is circulating again, I figured this would also be helpful! Food insecurity is such a massive problem in America, in general, and if you have the means to help feed others, I think you should take that opportunity. Here are some other tips:

1. If you’re planning on donating items from your own pantry, please check the expiration dates on the packaging. Think of your donations as gifts to bestow, not castoffs to be rid of. It’s awful to think of people feeling like they got scraps someone else just didn’t want. Everyone deserves dignity with their meals.

2. If you’d rather give money to a food bank, that’s also great since they buy food in bulk and know what items are most wanted/needed!

3. Not everyone has access to appliances like stoves or microwaves or hot plates so if you can donate items that don’t need to be heated up, that would also be greatly appreciated!
