#i can be

[barbielore]

October is National Dental Hygiene Month - I don't know, but I assume this is because of the high association of the month with Halloween and, by extension, eating a shitload of candy.

The first time Barbie was a dentist was in 1997, which is more recent than I expected.

This playset came with a Kelly receiving the dental treatment - and holding a toy to comfort her while Dentist Barbie does her thing. Special attention should be drawn to the fact that the playset also includes Barbie's credentials and a tube of Crest toothpaste (a toothpaste brand we don't have in Australia).

Later Dentist Barbies, like the one from the You Can Be Anything series, also have a child for Barbie to perform dentistry on. It does not, however, have branded toothpaste.

The "I Can Be..." Dentist Barbie also does not feature branded toothpaste, does feature a child -- and happens to feature my personal favourite Barbie dentist outfit. I mean, if I saw her out of context, I don't think I would assume this outfit read as "dentist", but I do think it's the cutest.

Besides dentists, do you know what other Barbie cares about dental hygiene?

The 65th anniversary astronaut Barbie features a variety of accessories to support space flight, including a toothbrush and toothpaste.

I Can Be // from Yaacov Shwekey beautiful song. Words that give me strength and hope✨️

Life throws me fire,

And fate will test me ten million ways.

Sometimes I'm tired...

It's hard to see the light of better days.

But then I dare to dream,

I find the hope for more.

I reach for all you gave and see that -

I can be stronger,

I can be braver,

I can be, I can be anything!

Anything I wanna be!

I have the power,

I have the courage,

I am a hero!🦸🏻‍♀️

Everything I need is inside of me.✨️

Life is the people we love and we give to one another.

Loving is giving, giving is life.

This song was originally created by Yaacov Shwekey, for an association for special children.

But I see a great light in this song, it accompanies me a lot and I think it is suitable for all of us.✨️💜

Those words are really reflect my ability to deal with situations.

Today I am primarily pissed that it took me nigh on a decade to get the secondary pun of Ruby’s name. 

The Fall of Beacon. 

The Fall of Atlas.

Ruby Rose.

Goddamn it.

tbh i think the funniest phenomena that's been happening in the last couple years is "youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will"

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

i thought my laptop was on its last leg because it was running at six billion degrees and using 100% disk space* at all times and then i turned off shadows and some other windows effects and it was immediately cured. i just did the same to my roommate's computer and its performance issues were also immediately cured. okay. i guess.

so i guess if you have creaky freezy windows 10/11 try searching "advanced system settings", go to performance settings, and uncheck "show shadows under windows" and anything else you don't want. hope that helps someone else.

*yes sorry i mean usage i posted this before bed :( i do not mean the hard drive is full aaaaghhhh

hey! there's zero esims left for the connecting gaza campaign as of today. i remember you promoting them earlier. could you give them a much needed boost?

oh dang! unfamiliar with that particular campaign, as I always donate via crips for e-sims because it's super easy to do, but regardless let's go people!
