We Are In A Media Literacy Crisis

we are in a media literacy crisis

I love that we all just decided that jeans match everything. Like, they’re literally blue pants. What are you wearing today? T-shirt? Well you’re gonna want the blue pants. Multicolor blouse? Blue pants. Black sweater? Blue pants. Neon yellow crop top? You guessed it: BLUE PANTS.

Ok but the last line that we really hear in Barbie, the final lyric at the very end of the credits, is:

I think I forgot

How to be happy.

Something I'm not,

Something I can be.

Something to wait for.

Something I'm made for.

Dude like what?? How is that not supposed to break my heart into all the tiniest tiniest tiniest pieces?? Why do other people know what it feels like to be me??

Is it the perfect film? No but just NEVER stop making movies about how the expectations in our current society leads so many of us to experience passive suicidality, thoughts of death and feelings of purposelessness.

I WILL WAIT FOR YOU TIL THE SUN TURNS INTO ASHES AND BOWS DOWN TO THE MOON I WILL WAIT FOR YOU

Listen, you know the History Channel show “The Food That Built America”? Imagine being one of the actors in the re-enactments and having a director tell you to really play up the Very Serious Drama of fucking, idk, Subway, BUT without creating ANY homoerotic tension with your business partner. Imagine.
