I was expecting “eh” but it was actually one of the better movies I’ve seen in a long time, and I’ve never even been a fan of Barbie toys. As for the message, there’s a few themes going on and I don’t have the communication skills to relay them without spoiling it.
I’ve lived through enough financial crises that constantly hearing that (“Low unemployment! Go spend money! It’s fiiiiine, everything is GREAT!”) for the past year has made me a nervous wreck.
Hey now, windows and balconies were doing the heavy lifting (dropping?) earlier this year. Must have been a shortage in poison due to the embargos.
Found in western North America from the Pacific Northwest to central California. Which the name was a dead giveaway for because everything over here has that dude’s name stamped on it in some form or another.
Any good thriller will do, but there can be a lot of chaff to sift through. I recently read All the Sinners Bleed by S. A. Cosby, A Good House for Children by Kate Collins, Her Little Flowers by Shannon Morg (my personal favorite), and The Anomaly by Hervé Le Tellier. All of them held my attention and had enough twists to keep me awake far longer than I should have been.
To be clear, it’s “Covid information” suggesting the virus was man-made, as well as suggestions that the vaccine was harmful. So….. quashing debunked bullshit that tends to float around predominantly right-wing circles. Boohoo.
We went to a county show, they asked veterans to stand, no one did. Our child even nudged us to be recognized. We met in the military and live in red country, very rural. We stayed sitting.
We don’t have the right to ask children to do this any more.
I just went back to this feeling this morning. My husband brought up gold panning and I remembered I had some gold flakes from childhood, a very fond memory of mine. Then I remembered it was among the items stolen out of my garage to day before I gave birth to my kid. We had just moved so everything was in boxes and easy to transport. Including my camera. I only have one photo of the day my kid was born, thanks to a kind nurse.
I hope that thief got what they needed. :/
