I know this story and I've lived a different version of it. I hate it here (the outraged-fueled spaces on the internet which is almost every space on the internet these days).
I am about to throw my entire shoe collection across the country at you, girl!!
I have been so angry that America’s achievement has been ignored by the masses and the media in service of the Prototypical Barbie - who, by the way, gave a spectacular speech in America’s honor at the Critics Choice Awards. Where is Margot now? I feel like I need her to speak up.
It would have been a PR disaster for America to celebrate her accomplishment as a Latina, and the fact that women everywhere not only have overlooked that fact but have diminished and erased her has me steaming.
These words were healing. Thank you for giving America her flowers.
PLEASE COME THROW A SHOE IN PERSON!!!! That's the ONLY way! And bring Ari, too! Thank you, Cathy. America deserves all the good things and I'm thankful for her body of work. That monologue in Barbie is enough to win the whole kitten caboodle!!!
I have really narrowed my scrolling habits down to Substack, a couple of publications, and Zillow 🙃 so thank you for telling me what's going on out there, but also - yes. I feel this same weariness with the yelling into the void everywhere. All the voids.
I'm really, really contemplating how we can shift more of this energy toward action rather than the rage-despair cycle. like, I've been contemplating it for years and years, but these days feel closer to a turning point.
First of all, Zillow made me laugh!! Amazing - I love it. Same, I can't handle social aside from a few places and I imagine the election is only going to make it all worse. I'm seeing a tipping point as well! Thank God.

I'm grateful for your support through this and I agree - I cannot do it anymore! Thanks for being a bright spot on the internet, my friend!
