Pamela Ribon (born April 4, 1975) is an Academy Award-nominated American screenwriter, author, television writer, blogger and actress. She created and wrote the short film ''
My Year of Dicks'' (2022), which was nominated for the 95th
Academy Awards under the category
Best Animated Short Film. In November 2014, she found a
Barbie book from 2010 titled ''I Can be a Computer Engineer''. She decried elements of the book where Barbie appeared to be reliant on male colleagues. Mattel has since ceased publishing the book. Also known as ''Pamie'' and ''Wonder Killer'', she runs the website pamie.com. She was one of the original recappers for
Television Without Pity. Her commencement address for the 2019 College of Fine Arts graduating class of the
University of Texas at Austin was praised by Texas Monthly.
