Broke: Barbie's many different careers are a way to sell dolls and accessories to little kids.

Woke: Barbie had every single one of those careers and is an immortal timeless being.

Bespoke: Barbie's different careers are different versions of Barbie from across the multiverse who occasionally swap place with each other or combine into one Barbie.

SO THERE’S SOMETHING Y’ALL SHOULD KNOW ABOUT...

Attack of the clones

I have often used Barbie to explain Greek mythology, and people laugh until I explain it, and then they get really serious and thoughtful. 

I say, “The Greeks ascribed aspects to gods. Apollo had many aspects, but all were Apollo. He’s like Barbie that way. She’s an astronaut, a veterinarian, and a rollerskater, but no matter which of those things she is in the moment, she is always still Barbie. She is Barbie in her aspect as.” 

Then people get not only the idea of “aspects” of godhood, but also, well, the changeable yet eternal nature of Barbie. 

You never know when learning a new skill will come in handy. For example, I had a crush on a boy in middle school who loved Sonic so I learned how to draw him and the other characters so he'd sit by me. 16 years later I'm trying to take a kid's blood pressure multiple times. It's too high because he's scared, he hates it. I see mom's got Sonic playing on her phone. So while the dynamap is running I say "hey look at this!" Draw a quick Sonic on the exam table paper, he's so focused on me that he doesn't realize his BP was taken, now with beautiful numbers. Gotta do an EKG now and I bribe him, "i'll draw Tails if you sit still for me"... perfect EKG. Now coming to see a cardiologist is a lot less scary for a couple kids, all because of my middle school crush.

op can we see a sonic?

@hypabeast43 this bad boy is clinically proven to drop your BP by at least 10 mmHg 👌💖

happy anniversary to the post that ruined my life

criminal profiling is just astrology for cops

taking a forensics class and watching the professor explain one by one how criminal profiling, hair microscopy, and bite mark analysis are all pseudoscience responsible for ruining innocent lives, and how on top of that, fingerprint analysis, despite being significantly more reliable, is subjective and prone to contextual bias. and also bullet striation analysis has the same issues. and also bullet lead analysis doesn’t work. and also handwriting analysis has an error rate high enough to render it useless
