Whether kids can afford all the "stuff" that goes along with Barbie is still a dividing issue today. The basic doll itself is reasonable priced, but the clothes, accessories, and bigger items such as houses and can add up quickly. And there is no end to them. There is always another outfit to buy for Barbie. The consumerism related to the doll is over the top, making her accessible mainly to the upper-middle class. Of course, that's what companies do- create a product that is popular and continue to expand upon the things customers can buy for it. But what does it say about the materialism? Is having a lot of things supposed to make us happy?

[oldfangirl81]

Suddenly I am very glad I went a little overboard on that "queer your bookshelf" sale at the start of the month. It looks like the train I am taking to Portland doesn't have WiFi if the online data is still accurate.

I haven't read any beyond a couple pages yet but still thought it might interest some. Caution most fall on the adult side. A couple are on the darker side(I tried to note them but again haven't read them yet and might have missed some). And tend to be sci-fi/fantasy.

Day Tochtli (Rabbit, known as Lamat in Maya) is governed by Mayahuel, Goddess of the Maguey and of Fertility, as its provider of tonalli (Shadow Soul) life energy. Tochtli is a day of self-sacrifice and service to something greater than oneself. It signifies the religious attitude which holds everything sacred and results in experiences of self-transcendence. It is a mystical day, associated by the passages of the moon. It is a good day for communing with nature and spirit, a bad day for acting against others.

no love for ned is on wlur from 8pm until midnight tonight and i hope you can join us.

i just realized i'm starting off the show tonight with a song from the spinanes who i was introduced to almost exactly thirty years ago. they opened for the afghan whigs at the famed city gardens (jon stewart was a bartender there in the eighties!) on april 8th, 1994. i remember the exact date because it was the day kurt cobain's body was found. the radio announced it that afternoon while we were in the car. i know there was a lot of talking about it that night, especially since both bands were on sub pop (where nirvana got their start). not sure i have much else to say- just a memory that was prompted by a band and date.

anyway, i've also archived last week's show on mixcloud for you to catch whenever you'd like if you're busy tonight!

no love for ned on wlur – march 22nd, 2024 from 8-10pm

There is no one way for a doll to represent women as a whole. It would be an insurmountable task for any company to do that. We come in too many different packages and live lives too varied for any doll to capture us- as it should be.

What's Here Wednesday: Hidden History: War

Welcome to the first in a series of posts called "Hidden History"!

This set will run throughout the academic year as one of the many series included under "What's Here Wednesday." It features books in the TMC on stories that are typically silenced. Many events and people have been left out of the mainstream, often because they are from an oppressed group. These stories generally aren't featured in the main curricula in schools at all, or are quickly rushed over in favor of other topics. Fortunately, authors and publishers out there have shed light on these diverse, "hidden" aspects of history.

The first of these features are the unknown people who made contributions during wartime. From Native American codetalkers, to the Tuskegee Airmen (Black World War II pilots) or Harlem Hellfighters (African American World War I regiment) or the Triple Nickels (first Black paratroopers), people of color have taken valorous actions to be commended. There are also other less known stories, often about individuals, such as the transgender Civil War soldier, Albert D. J. Cashier, or the black Revolutionary War spy James Lafayette.

You can find these books (pictured above), or go explore more, in the Teaching Materials Center:

Code Talker by Joseph Bruchac

The Harlem Hellfighters by Walter Dean Myers

Courage Has No Color by Tanya Lee Stone

The Fighting Infantryman by Rob Sanders

Black, Blue & Gray by James Haskins

You Can Fly by Carole Boston Weatherford

Chester Nez and the Unbreakable Code by Joseph Bruchac  

A Spy Called James by Anne Rockwell

Comic Book Saturday

This was a cool book about the women in space. From the first woman in space, Valentina Tereshkova, to NASA’s Group 9, and just all the awesome women who went past our atmosphere.

I also really loved the art in this by Maris Wicks, from Massachusetts, whoop, whoop!! Oh, and, I can’t forget that there’s also some… let’s go with really fun to read discussion, on some of the designs of spacecraft as well. Awesome.
