Michiganders — ranging from athletes to Governor Gretchen Whitmer herself — are posting themselves as Barbies, as memes, or taking on the Barbie–Oppenheimer dual opening weekend “Barbenheimer” dichotomy in Tweet form.
It’s a lot of fun (we personally think we’re more Oppenheimer, not Barbie, unlike the poll below suggests) and since this Barbie is a journalist, we gathered the tweets up for you to enjoy, too.

(And so can you!) Barbie is a shoreline birder who shares her passion for neotropical migrating birds with everyone, just like her trip plan, so her friends know where she is.
