Barbie has career hopped from ballerina to doctor to US President, but she’s been absent from some less glamorized roles. Create a special edition Barbie that rounds out her resume: septic tank worker Barbie, underwater welder Barbie, crime scene cleaner Barbie… you get the idea. Post on social media and tag #GISH, @Mattel and #DirtyJobs4Barbie. Submit your original image and a link to your social media post.

45. [IMAGE OR VIDEO] (UP TO 60 SECONDS) Everybody Chill… ash!? Turn out that x in axolotl, a Nahuatl word, is pronounced a little differently than our mascot’s name. Nahuatl is an endangered Indigenous language, and we believe Indigenous languages should be respected and preserved. We also recognize that Gishers are not a monolith — our global community represents many diverse cultures and ancestries. So for this Item, pick the choice that is appropriate: 1. If you are Indigenous and you (or loved one) speak an endangered or vulnerable Indigenous language, create a video sharing a short story, song, or phrase you know in your language. (Please caption it in English so we may learn from you.) 2. If you are not Indigenous or prefer not to focus on your own ancestry, go to the Endangered Languages Project map and locate an Indigenous language near you that is vulnerable or endangered. Listen to it and learn about it. Then, create a beautiful, handmade infographic about it to share what you learned about this precious language. Post it online and tag #GISH. - Inspired by Rat M.
