In the movie, Sid is portrayed as a villain because of how he “plays” with his toys. Unlike Andy, who treats his toys with care and kindness, Sid decapitates and mutilates them, switching their heads and bodies. I won’t go into the gender politics of comparing Sid’s way of playing with toys to Andy’s. But I do think the movie reflects how culture and society generally view any violence as antithetical to the notion of play. So, by putting Ken’s head onto Ariel’s body, I was, in a way, evoking that sort of violence. But I was doing it with toys not traditionally associated with boys and in a way that subverted the male gaze, which made it unexpected. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69508b8c07d56224dc1c1da5/56d07f94-c318-4786-a0b8-ee0eb47c003d/100%25.jpg recent papers - Playtime, Barbie, and Existential Nonconformity - Made by a human being—no AI was used in the creation of this work. https://www.groundswelljournal.com/recent-papers/a-prologue monthly 0.5 2026-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69508b8c07d56224dc1c1da5/12b858a2-4c39-4974-b367-7e7d4a94a665/100%25.jpg recent papers - A Prologue Made by a human being—not a machine. https://www.groundswelljournal.com/legislation daily 0.75 2026-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69508b8c07d56224dc1c1da5/e222fd43-3393-4218-9602-5ad18e90b970/Untitled+design+%282%29.png https://www.groundswelljournal.com/legislation/what-exactly-is-citizens-united-lxdpr monthly 0.5 2026-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69508b8c07d56224dc1c1da5/3b506a2b-8abd-48a8-a429-0e47003b650d/100%25.jpg legislation - What Exactly Is Citizens United? - Made by a human—no AI was used in the creation of this work. https://www.groundswelljournal.com/individual daily 0.75 2026-01-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69508b8c07d56224dc1c1da5/7d6c35d5-9820-46f4-82fc-325df479f5dd/Untitled+design+%282%29.png https://www.groundswelljournal.com/individual/this-totally-shouldve-been-a-substack-cnj63 monthly 0.5 2026-01-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69508b8c07d56224dc1c1da5/7c67dea2-6102-4180-9234-496f2a0d28d8/100%25.jpg see the human side - This Totally Should’ve Been A Substack. - Written by a human — no AI was used in the creation of this piece. https://www.groundswelljournal.com/individual/playtime-barbie-and-existential-nonconformity-3tzc2 monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69508b8c07d56224dc1c1da5/b0756305-5b85-49f6-bd2b-c0250ca08b20/Screenshot+2026-01-14+173056.png see the human side - Playtime, Barbie, and Existential Nonconformity - Thammarat: I think many people who saw my Barbies out of context saw behavior similar to that of Sid from Toy Story.
