NEW: According to police, the Texas man who charged with shooting and killing his girlfriend last week after she got an abortion in Colorado had strangled her weeks earlier, and there was a warrant out for his arrest. YET HE WAS ABLE TO ACCESS A GUN. https://t.co/xhiUy7aeIy

america: why aren’t people having KIDS ANYMORE
Barbie Movie discourse is fasinating because it's a near universal experience/brand for anyone who was raised as a girl in the US but has, until now, almost zero acknowledgement in culture for adults so tons of men have only a vague notion of what Barbie is.
