Please, no, if people want strictly regulated nicey nicey conversations where no one can say anything that might possibly upset someone they can go to Facebook groups (where everyone is just an asshole behind everyone else's back in private convos). As much as MN can be a bit of a hellhole, the good thing is that people can say stupid things and can be countered, or, if preferred, counter stupid things to perfectly legitimate posts. I think the only issue is, is that MN is getting too big and shapeless. It doesn't feel as much of a community and then people aren't as invested anymore to constantly counter careless comments, or it's a part of the site that's so insular it's like an echo chamber.
I'm all for banning the conspiracy adjacent JAQing off sunscreen posters here on S&B, though.
As much as I loved Barbies as a child, much to my mother's horror, I'm really annoyed with the massive marketing push. Especially confusing to little girls as it's everywhere but the movie itself is not age appropriate for them.
I did see a whole special setup in a Zara shop and some teenage girls seemed to genuinely have fun with it and the display box for taking pictures so I'm not overly mad at it either, just very much over it now.
I will credit it to keeping me out of my inbox as it seems to be flooded with Barbie adjacent promotional emails that I can't be bothered to open.
But I've been a bit under the weather since yesterday and very sleepy, and did somehow manage to order a Sacai skirt in the Browns sale late last night (not too sleepy to have used an extra 20% code <pats sleepy self>). I really must have been somewhat out of it to agree to paying the ridiculously high shipping costs though (which, following Poppy's experience, just checked, not refundable in case of a return either 😱). Anyhow, it looks nice enough...
