Wow, I guess my friends and I must have played with dolls completely wrong then. Which is not to say there were no fashion shows or dates but like, really? My dolls were involved in...adventures and stories. YMMV obivously, but I have literally no experience, either as a girl myself or an adult playing with girls,…

I’m a concert promoter and a festival publicist. I work for a legit company with three offices in the US.

I actually don’t work in radio (anymore). I’m a concert promoter / festival publicist.

Lol, OF COURSE men don’t think of their action figures as dolls, lol. Considering I knew other nine year olds who played with dolls and some who didn’t, it absolutely wasn’t outside of the norm, at least not 30 years ago. I’m guessing that all of these women, who have been little girls and most likely have much more…

My sister and I would play “talk show”! One time I remember us asking out Angelica Pickles doll why she ate all the cookies.

This town should feel honored to having this developing talent in their midst, and ashamed for having discouraged her engagement in the community.

I empathize. I am a work-from-home social media manager and my family thinks it’s an imaginary job. Nothing imaginary about having a great rate per hour, corporate card, health insurance, and multiple clients. Still I get calls about minimum-wage job openings, as though my time would be better spent working overtime…

My grandpa has had a radio show every Sunday for the past like, 40 years or something. When I was a kid, he used to let me go do his radio show with him. Taught me how to use all the equipment and everything. When I was 13 and he went out of town, my mom did the show for him and she let me run it by myself since I…

she is brilliant

Right? Dolls are great! Reporting crime in your neighborhood using good journalistic skills also great! What’s wrong with this pearl-clutcher?

I only wish I could have been this amazing and articulate at 9 - freaking 9!! At 9 I was mainly worried about when and if my friends and I could get together to swap Polly Pockets!

my sister played with dolls until she was 13. Now she collects them. :)

You may not have played with dolls at 9, but I did. My brother played with action figures until sometime after 9. Imaginative children like lots of different things. I also starred in a play as an old man while the rest of the cast comprised teenagers. I read racy Jackie Collins novels, Judy Blume, and poets like…

But that’s the thing - she’s not TRYING to be a Reporter. She IS a Reporter.

I def played with dolls at 9. Ain’t nothin’ wrong with it. Ain’t nothin’ wrong with being a citizen journalist, either.

Her response to the shitty comments especially is the best. She has a bright future!

This is amazing. And her parents clearly knew she was destined for this career path when they named her Hilde.

This is incredible!! Fuck yes, little girl, scoop all those professional reporters. Collect your Pulitzer in 10 years and laugh in their faces.

It’s also good for people in transition since there are usually not long leases (typed from a guest room in my mother’s house. If this was an option for me I'd love it)

So, this particular place may be expensive, but this is a perfectly legitimate housing model that we need more of.
