I've tried my Xennial damnedest, but the X in me just can't shake this pesky millennial optimism. I love good food, good music, good astrology, good cards, good history books, pretty spreadsheets, and a good wig. Not necessarily in that order.

To the extent that you could put it on one group, it would be Silent Gen (it's literally in the name lol), primarily bc they came of age during McCarthyism. They were conditioned to be paranoid about someone either spying, lying, or snitching on them and passed that aversion down

The Beatles are kinda overrated.

Eh. When you think about it, this is extremely on brand for gen X white dudes who mentally never outgrew their edgelord phase, hate boomers while also wanting to be them, and now see going against the grain as a revenge flex on millennials/zoomers for being called the 'forgotten' generation 1/3

Pluto transiting square to natal sun has got Drake crashing tf out and Uranus breakdancing on his ,midheaven is really not helping smh UMG's attorneys are going to have a field day with the discovery process

between this and me accidentally discovering a week ago that white misogynists are bastardizing pick-me, I'm genuinely fucking ready to throw hands right now

"China discusses sale" as if it was never the ByteDance owners' choice as to whether they can hold on to their own company is troublesome for its own reasons

This is probably an unpopular opinion/a tweet falling on deaf ears, but I would love a 24-hour moratorium on any political 'news' next Monday. Do or talk about literally anything else except that damn inauguration or anything anyone on the hill is doing. 🧵

Not shocked Also don’t be shocked when you see Black Boomers and Gen Xers come out to support this after awhile too. They will. The same generations who have been calling Black Millennials and Gen Zers lazy and feckless and refusing to cede power or offer tutelage in ANY FIELD will cowtail to this

I feel like someone needs to ask if I'm the one who's okay because the amount of time I spent dissecting how much internalized misogyny is oozing out of this tweet can't possibly be normal

the truly funny part is that Jesus LITERALLY said "How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!" and "how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!" in the previous two verses, all exclamation no metaphor so the gate thing is a moot point 1/4

Also - please spend time deciding how you are going to engage with the content this administration and the complicit media are going to be putting out from here on out. Our nervous systems are precious resources and keeping them in a hyper-reactive state is BAD-real bad. We need to be intentional.

Thread: A sorta interesting thing as I read through some of the reactions to Vivek's tweets is that many people are buying into the "nerd/smart vs. popular/normal" setup as if these are mutually exclusive groups Like maybe I'm off, but in my hs experience it was common for these to have overlap

no dog in this MAGAt fight, but it was obvious Vivek Rammerjammeryellowhammer doesn't even go here when he named Urkel, who not only got the girl at the end but bagged Myra along the way Not to mention BMW rolled the math nerd, prom queen, AND valedictorian up into one beloved character (Topanga)
