"A Child’s View from Gaza" was an art exhibition showcasing drawings created by the children of Gaza.
"The captioned illustrations were created by Palestinian children who lived through the Israeli bombardment of Gaza in 2008-09. The pictures were drawn as part of an effort to help children deal with the horrors they had experienced. A Bay Area nonprofit, Middle East Children’s Alliance (MECA), arranged to display a collection of these pictures at the Museum of Children’s Art in Oakland, California. However, under pressure from the Jewish Federation of the East Bay and other organizations, the museum backed out of the agreement at the last minute."

ruth said “we mothers stand still so our daughters can look back to see how far they have come” and then barbie turned around and took her creator’s daughter’s name, the girl who inspired her existence, in becoming human, thereby making herself not only a woman but a daughter. daughters get to invent themselves. ruth said create yourself I can’t do it for you and barbie said I want to invent myself in a connection with you where you give me human life. what about that huh. im eating glass.
One of the connecting themes for both movies is crying. Hear me out, Barbie begins experiencing real emotions as she comes to the real world and she’s confused by the ability to cry but also grateful for it. Meanwhile in Oppenheimer, Truman berates Oppenheimer for crying in front of him. Crying is obviously perceived differently in both, but ultimately it’s an innately human emotion that is scarce in both films whether because a plastic doll is not made to cry or feel or because a man cannot express his emotions or guilt in an environment that rewards callousness and demonizes empathy in the wake of great man-made atrocity. So while this may not be a common takeaway for Barbenheimer viewers, I still believe it’s an important one: please do not see crying as weakness and feel your feelings.
what was i made for?
“ophelia” by john everett millais but it’s barbie and for the sake of this concept let’s pretend that there is in fact water in barbieland
barbie movie: is marketed as “haha barbie has to go to the real world with ken and mattel wants them to go back to barbieland haha funny adventure movie!”
me after watching it: is sobbing hysterically and undergoing an existential crisis, a breakdown, and a metamorphosis into a more confident and secure individual with the knowledge that under the patriarchy it is next to impossible to appease others and that you just have to go “fuck it” and be your genuine self while doing what makes you happy
I also sobbed when I saw barbie appreciating an old woman, sitting beside her on the bench, because that's what a woman is and that's what being human is, and that's what life is and she saw imperfection and age and realized it was beautiful.
She was so scared of being imperfect and having cellulite and aging and dying, and then she saw how beautiful all of those things could be, and she cried, and I cried.
And I understood. And I felt understood.
It’s Barbie month.
Barbie was about motherhood and belonging and feminism and love and identity and toxic masculinity and existentialism and humanism and most importantly, pink.
