A 10-year-girl in Delaware picked up “It’s Perfectly Normal” while at the library with her mother. When they came home, she showed her mom the chapter on sexual abuse and said, “This is me.” She was being abused by her father, and it was the first time she’d spoken about it.  — Society of Secret Library Friends (@sslibfriends) May 20, 2023ALT

It's almost like this "grooming" panic isn't a bunch of silly suburbanites with too much time on their hand but rather a concerted political movement by people who benefit from the status quo to keep their privileged position in an unjust system...

Who'da thunk?

hey so like…remember when i made that addition to a post about disabled barbie dolls and all the new disabled dolls that mattel has released? y’all…they just announced a new fashionista doll with Down syndrome

A photo of a Barbie doll who has Down syndrome. She is directly facing toward the camera in a stiff pose with arms by her sides. She has long golden hair parted to the side, medium brown eyebrows, hazel almond shaped eyes that slant upwards a little, printed prominent hooded eyelid folds, and pink lipstick on her smiling lips. Her dress is mid thigh with an A line shape, square neckline, and puffy sleeves that finish mid upper arm. The dress features a bright blue and yellow floral and butterfly pattern with orange and pink accents. There is pink stitching for the neckline and hem. She wears a hot pink necklace shaped like three upward facing arrows as her only accessory other than her shoes. Her shoes are molded white tennis style sneakers with attached foot and ankle orthodics that are light pink. The orthodics finish mid calf and have some buckle/strap molded detail.ALT
Same description of the doll as the first image but this one is slightly cropped and the doll's body is facing toward the right side of the screen a smidge. Her facial features and necklace are more easily visible here.ALT

Inage of text from the Mattel website translated from Spanish to English that reads:  "Her pink pendant necklace has three arrows to represent the third chromosome 21 that people with Down syndrome have and point outward to represent ascent and progress. Barbie® doll's pink foot and ankle orthotics match her outfit perfectly and give her support as she walks, while her white sneakers have a zipper detail so girls can easily put them on and take them off!"ALT

im genuinely so emotional over this. this representation is incredible and the fact that she’s a fashionista means she’ll be relatively affordable and easily accessible through multiple retailers. i love disability inclusion so much
