To be fair, when capitalism has been screaming at you since mid-November that OMFG CHRISTMAS IS IMMINENT SHOP NOW!!!, it’s easy to lose track of time and suddenly realise that December 25 is two days away.

Wait… DEC 25 IS TWO DAYS FROM NOW!!!

Jason’s Guatemalan daughter has probably outgrown her dolls, but for others in her position, a company called Teera Experience in Madison, WI, sells dolls clothes, sized for American Girl dolls and sewn by Mayan women from
hand-woven cloth. Beautiful, unique and Fair Trade.

Is there something wrong with girls and women playing with dolls? Is that some sort of lesser than form of knowledge for some reason? And why is equipment at a job site some superior form of knowledge? Why aren’t both important forms of knowledge? :woman_shrugging:

We lost some good comments, but they were in response to something that was not cool. My apologies.

I know the outrage is fake, but a big part of the whole AG schtick was being able to order a doll with exactly the features you wanted-about a dozen skin tones, different kinds of hair, eye colors and so on. Everybody could get the doll that looked like them.
