Happy anniversary to us! Jinxy and BL debrief of the discourse around "girlhood" culture in light of the Barbie oscars snub, Gracie Abrams bows and Sofia Coppola of it all. They chat about TikTok users' blatant attempts to go viral with girl-branding ("Sleepy Girl Mocktail"), previous girl culture moments that did more than just wear pink. "Can we just go ahead and have IBS without making it into some signifier of hot girlness or cute little babyness?"

Tweet by @ronantyche: "barbie movie discourse is so funny because it's just a fun silly movie for the girls until you say anything against it, then it's modern day feminist text, and then when you critique it like feminist text youre misogynistic and insulting something fun and silly for the girls".
