a really funny thing happens if you perform weird al in front of a crowd who wasn't primed for it, which is that people will think you are extremely funny and clever for doing it

Another gen z reader pls!

YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND.

Yandere Muzan x Gen Z! Reader.

Also, this will contain TRIGGERING THEMES!! It could be anything, like mentions of murder, blood, obsession, anything yandere related. Basically dark content, so if you are NOT comfortable with such stuff, please do not read this post!

Okay, so before we start this shit, just know that Muzan here is kind of gonna be like, only good to you and shit.

"My love, I'm back-" Muzan announced as he started taking off his coat like they did in those 90s shit. Or not. God, my memory is fucking shit. That does not matter, for the only goal in your mind at the moment is to find a excuse to get away from this ugly orange of a demon.

"Oh no, I forgot to water my baguettes! I am so sorry, I must take my leave right now!" Just as you said that, your baguettes in the background screamed, "Hydrate us, [Name]!"

I can't even properly tell you how hard Muzan face palmed at your so stupid attempts to try and escape his affection??? And he doesn't even wanna know who you bribed to wear baguette costumes and say to hydrate them.. What did you even bribe them with???

One of them was probably Enmu.

Muzan, himself doesn't know why the fuck he finds you so amusing. It's probably because you are like, literally playing with your life. Literally.

Evidence is the time when you once tried drinking bleach because first, it looked tasty, and second, you wanted to know what bleach tastes like.

And my God, it did not taste as good as it looked like! IT WAS A SCAM. No one ever scammed you this hard. It tasted like extremely concentrated swimming pool water.

Oh that reminds you of the time when you drank swimming pool water-

And in the Taisho Era, there is no shit like fanfics or memes so Muzan can more than often find random drawings...which are memes but his boomer brain can't process what's so funny about it. Like, talking croissants are funny- no, not the ones you find on Kids YT.

But as I said there are no fanfics, and my goodness do you love reading, proof is of you reading this. So let's hope you like reading books too.

No fanfics. What can you do? Probably read Shakespeare. I'm bullshitting my way through this, please deal with it.

Of course, after reading Shakespeare your grammar and vocabulary got a lot better! Which Muzan liked, a lot.

But,,,,, you being you, now even have more ways to insult Muzan. Like,

Thou base decayed ingested-lump!

Thou perfidious weather-bitten writhled shrimp!

Thou fawning fool-born filthy rogue!

And you could go on and on, but let Muzan have a break.

It's so funny to the uppermoons, especially Douma, when Muzan is just 'scolding' them by 'gently' smashing there heads in and you come in and go, "Awww, mama duckling scolding her ducklings..." As you pretend to make a video with your phone which you don't have because Muzan broke it because he's an asshole.

And as soon as you come in, somehow all the blood disappears and everything is normal as he kisses your forehead and asks, "What are you doing here, darling, did I not tell you to not leave your room?"

Everyone present could feel the temperature drop when Muzan said that, and that was not a good sign.

"YOU AREN'T MY MOM." As soon as you said that, you ran away faster than light because you are....idk. You were able to run away mostly because Muzan let you, but trust me when I say that he wasn't angry at you, more so at the demons who he kept at your room's door to prevent you from leaving the room.

And those poor, poor demons who were now begging for their lives as Muzan glared at them, "I gave you one job, one job.."

That's just when you had to again come in, "CUT!" You yelled, "Do it again, but this time, with more feelings." The demons and Muzan nodded, "ACTION!" You said as the scene started again, this time, with more feeling.

One time you just pointed at one ugly demon and said, "This does not spark joy," Muzan killed it. And then after seeing what Muzan did to the ones you said that to, "This does not spark joy," you said to Muzan. Pointing at him.

And after that, he was seen sulking the whole day because he thinks you hate him, which you do. I hope. I don't know.

Thoughts on this post?:

https://www.tumblr.com/animentality/64152073250/abc-newsman-proves-danger-of-allowing-transgender?source=share

thanks for reminding me to delete that post I made in literally 2013 when I was 15 because it doesn't reflect who I am as a person anymore.

is this supposed to be a gotcha?

are people supposed to be born woke?

I am amazed you managed to even find this post with like 6 notes, where I legitimately asked people for their opinion on the subject because I was unsure about it and I had certain taught biases that I hadn't learned to abandon yet.

it might amaze you to know that I once told a guy he'd make a great wife when he mentioned he liked cooking.

this was in 2012.

how cisheteronormative of me, right?

but you were all so woke in 2012, weren't you?

you never said anything that was not PC as a teenager.

you never told edgy jokes or said stupid offensive things.

you were born perfect, I'm sure.

it's not like I'm proud of the dumb stuff I said.

but I didn't start identifying as nonbinary until I was 18, and I didn't start identifying as trans until I was 21.

I was raised by an older mother, not a gen x er or a millennial, but a baby boomer, whose inherent biases still sometimes surface in me when I least expect it.

I was raised Catholic.

I had JUST STARTED PUBLIC SCHOOL, after spending literally 6 years in a fucking Catholic school.

I DIDNT UNDERSTAND transgender issues, nor did most people in 20 fucking 13.

how the fuck could I

my mom to this day doesn't know what the fuck nonbinary or trans are, and I identify as both.

how was I supposed to know?

I'd never even met anyone in the LGBT community at that point, nor had I realized I belonged there either.

I literally didn't even know I was pan at that point, or that I was nb/trans myself, or how I felt about most political topics.

that's why I ASKED.

and I said the wrong things. yeah, I did.

but no one had taught me the right words.

and in that post, no one bothered to explain it to me either.

I had to learn that over time.

and guess what?

I'm still not perfect now. I'm still going to make mistakes because times change, as they always do.

and all we can do is try and forgive people who are trying and doing their best, and remaining open minded to things they don't understand right from fucking birth.

but by all means, do search my history to your hearts content.

honestly, I kinda wanna see what dirt you find because this was an interesting look at the kinds of things I thought in 2013.

I can look back at myself and see how far I've come.

this post was interesting to read for me because it was wildly off mark, it misgendered trans women, and it lacked political, historical, and social understanding...

and so?

yeah?

it's offensive. it's bad.

and I didn't know any better.

but lol.

people learn things. people change their opinions.

if you people spend all your time digging up dirt and trying to cancel people for who they were, rather than who they are, or who they're trying to be... I have news for you.

your existence is pointless and your efforts are meaningless.

but I am flattered you did such a deep dive, anon.

please do find more and send them to me.

I'd like to know what other gotchas you can yank out of my ass.

I used to be on Facebook in 2011 before I deleted it in like 2013.

see if you can find anything there.

I used to write cringy poetry. it might be funny to read now.

Am I the asshole for wanting to communicate my frustrations with my mom?

TW: death, cancer

So, my mom is a boomer/gen X cusper and her and I have always had a bit of a volatile relationship (I went no contact for a little while because she was harassing me over my mental health) and she has truly never made an effort to learn any sort of social norms regarding communication and resorts to group texts to deliver the most life changing (bad) news.

I’ve had many calm and collected conversations with her asking her “hey mom… if you’re going to deliver news that’s going to change my life… can you at least call me instead of zipping out a text?” And for the most part she’s made the change into phone calls when it comes to good news. But not bad news. And I am so fed up with it.

For a good news example: I got a phone call when my younger brother passed his final exams and became certified in his trade and my mom wanted to throw a little party for him

Bad news example: I got a 2 sentence text when my grandma died.

Most recently, my mom texted my siblings and I to tell us she has cancer. It took us all by complete surprise and absolutely derailed my entire week. I panicked. I cried. I spent hours googling if my mom was going to be okay and if I need to be worried about my own health. I ended up calling my sister on my way to my partners house and was complaining about how our mom always seems to save the bad news for a text blurb with 0 context. She immediately jumped to her defense and said it makes sense that she would want to deliver that in a text so she doesn’t have to put up with multiple, likely weepy, phone calls having to explain devastating news to us over and over again. My sister then said I should be grateful that we even got an update from our mom and I need to stop asking her for phone calls for serious news because I’m not special and if I keep asking for this change that means our mom will share less with us going forward.

I can’t help but feel like a little bit of an asshole because my sister essentially told me I’m being too demanding of my mother’s emotions and I need to respect her decision to communicate in writing rather than having to hear everyone’s live reactions to news that also upsets her. But I feel like my feelings regarding the whole situation are also valid and it’s devastating to find out about a death or a diagnosis or whatever via a text. Especially after I’ve brought up this frustration to my mom numerous times.

What are these acronyms?

Generation Alpha are the most difficult generation in the history of education

I have attempted to go into education TWICE. When I first started student teaching (2016), I noticed behavioral issues in the 4th graders that I was teaching. I witnessed a 4th grader tell another teacher that she was NOT going to be doing the assigned reading, and if the teacher didn’t like it, she would tell her mom and her mom would have her fired via the school board. Children were noticing power dynamics, even then. Parents would rather have educators lose their livelihood than creating a possible confrontation with their children, over the concept that adults are authority figures worthy of respect. I continued with my education program, but I did not get licensure. Even then, school administrators took the side of parents/students and distributed limited disciplinary actions, citing the school-to-prison pipeline. Even when these students were a PHYSICAL danger to not only well-behaved students, but their teachers as well.

Millennial parents were raised by the overly strict, irrational boomers. They aren’t even realizing that they’re creating the same entitlement within their own children, simply through emotional unavailability and lack of structure. Parenthood is more than cute photos for Facebook and Instagram, and many millennials that I know had children wayyyy before they were ready. Gentle parenting is entirely different than PASSIVE parenting. Difficult conversations, tears, and learning experiences are all a part of childhood. Mind-numbing technology does not make developmental requirements go away. Generation alpha has been stripped of the true opportunity to learn and develop. Learning opportunities have been replaced by mind-numbing technology. These tablets produce the same responses in the brains of these children as DRUGS. That is why they can’t focus on school. Imagine taking a drug away for 8 hours, and being expected to learn more information when you were not even set up for success since being a toddler. The expectations seem unfair to them, understandably. They’re children, and new to many things. Millennial parents do not generally have knowledge on childhood development, and what are developmentally appropriate behaviors vs inappropriate behavior. Your child does not need to see a doctor, YOU need to sit with them and identify their emotional and behavioral patterns. Not every child needs medication, but all children need discipline and structure. That requires uncomfortable emotions, from both parent and child. There are times where you and your child will not be “friends”.

Generation alpha doesn’t retain information because they go home, and are handed a tablet. They have 0 social skills because they do not have many opportunities for socialization. Not even from their parents. Many of their social opportunities are with OTHER kids who also have extensive internet access to inappropriate and mindless content. I know middle school teachers who teach 6th graders on a 1ST GRADE READING LEVEL. No more than 2 parents even show up to parent teacher conferences. Parents are unresponsive via emails and phone calls. These kids are being set up for poverty. Respect, reading comprehension, and following directions are essential for even retail and restaurant careers.

Gen-Z does not use nearly as much technology in parenting. We were the first generation with unrestricted Internet access. We have seen horrible things on the internet. My best friend and I watched someone get beh***ed at 11 years old. We also watched our parents (Gen X) become emotionally unavailable due to technology and social media. Our hobbies, interests, and achievements were reduced to Facebook and Instagram likes. Gen Z understands the importance of QUALITY TIME in parenthood. Gen Z is not having children, because we take it seriously. We understand how hurtful it is to not be heard by our parents. We understand how awful the internet can be. We understand social media’s unfair and unrealistic expectations on the youth.

Charlottesville High School in Charlottesville, VA has had multiple days of classes cancelled due to a teacher walkout. There have been multiple VIOLENT fights that have broken out. A teacher was seriously injured not even 2 weeks ago. A suspension for these students hasn’t even been handed out. We need to protect educators (the very few that we still have) and students who show up willing to learn.

Forgotten Culture: to Greatest and Silent Generation, black was for funerals

...and that MATTERED. If you're Gen X then Silents are the evil generation, not Boomers. This is one of the things that Greatest through Silent Generation policed in public life and part of what my generation had to contend with. Older generations (Greatest and Silent) of some culture spaces of Americans had weird associations around black clothing that are foreign to children of Boomers. It's for femme fatales and women of questionable morals, and Beatniks, and Catholics, and old immigrants, and for Greatest Generation, their mom some time after their dad died. In the mind of these people - if you're a Normal Person, then it's for funerals and funerals only. Also it was for artistes but you have to understand that to these people, artiste was the same thing as Communist. And pretty much everything that was "Communist" to Greatest Gen became "Satanist" to Silents once Silents were in charge of public life. A young girl wearing all black in public - even and especially if it was fancy or businessy - would draw stares. You really don't know how much someone who looked like Wednesday Addams stood out even in *my* childhood let alone my mom's. Wearing all black was something I had to *not do* when I was around friends' parents, and it's something I didn't really have the freedom to do until I was out of high school. Even looking more punk or skater by that time was less edgy than all black. There were very very specific social rules about who was allowed to wear it and up to the 1990s, those people were still very much in control of public life, and we got to start gothing out 24/7 largely because we started having Boomer and Jones authority figures. There really is a degree to which goth culture is in a direct continuity of relaxation of subcultural clothing norms (which all eventually end up in the mall, or Target/Walmart, or popularized by TV) dating all the way back to the Midcentury. Now it's nothing to wear all black, and women's business clothing has become hugely uniform from the variety of colors it used to come in, and the standard suit seems to be all black. That wasn't true when I was younger, a black suit was actually a turnoff and deemed only appropriate to specific professions. Various shades of beige or brown, gray, and navy were more common in the 80s.

generational differences are kind of arbitrary – especially given the rise of tech, and how that's all going to effect us all very differently – but one thing i've noticed to be a salient distinction between zoomers and older generations is their attachment to labels.

by no means is this a value judgement, by the way, i just personally think it's interesting.

my parents are hardcore boomers and their attitude towards my own bisexuality is really "oh, plenty of people are like that, [insert laundry list of people they know who otherwise consider themselves to be straight/gay/lesbians but have a non-hypothetical history of dating people outside their preferred gender]". granted, my parents specifically are big on minding their own business.

gen x former coworker of my mom's is a woman married to another woman and doesn't really like to call herself bisexual or a lesbian, "i suppose if nicole and i split up, i'd just go back to dating men"

millennials, the myspace generation, are probably familiar with "labels are for soup cans" sentiment. or "i'm not straight or gay, just human". those stick out. and ambiguous bisexual chic being a big thing in the aughts.

but i remember the mogai philosophy of gender and orientation being a distinctly zoomer thing. i saw a nonbinary zoomer acquaintance post on their IG story recently that they wanted straight men and lesbians to not bother with asking them out because those people's sexual orientation ID tangentially invalidated them. and it struck me as a bit odd, because i've always been pretty resistant to the idea that being attracted to trans people means you should upend your whole theory of desire in response to that.

labels as a non-exhaustive social utility vs labels accounting for all you have felt and all you can feel, i guess to sum up the philosophical disagreement here.

not judging, just killing time between classes. i'm just curious as to when this distinction happened and what prompted it.

[decolonize-the-left]

....what have y'all learned from millennials? how are we fucking up and what corrections are y'all making?

I remember being in high school and having to explain new social differences to my foster mom sometimes when I'd get back from school. Like "no people don't do/say xyz anymore it's so dangerous/insensitive." She was a gen-x so she wasnt a boomer but I remember thinking to myself that I didn't wanna be like that.

I didn't wanna be the kind of grown up that got stuck in my ways and didn't wanna listen to what the kids or younger adults had to say. I didn't wanna be so out of the loop that the world would grow without me. I didn't wanna be one of those adults who had No Fucking Clue what was going on socially or in pop culture.

So I decided when I was old enough to be out of that loop that I'd make a genuine effort not to be like all the adults I saw. I wanted to keep learning and keep growing.

To me adults like that were so set in their ways that I saw them only as obstacles for progress. Like I'd look around at my surroundings as a closeted baby queer and undiagnosed ND and see those Do-Nothings as I called them as the same people who probably twiddled their thumbs during gay marriage being won because "it's just a wedding who cares" and whatever else they were saying in 2008. They didn't care to learn about why progress mattered so they just didn't ever.

And people who didn't care to get with the times fell behind them. Aside from that I felt like we'd all be better off if those adults knew better cuz they'd do better.

So like.

Yeah.

And I mean this question in the most general terms. Criticize our parenting and relationships and the way we participate in capitalism or activism or whatever. What new science have we probably not heard since we graduated over a decade ago, but should be aware of.

What do you wish we knew, ya know?

I want to hear it.

What could we be doing that we're not, the 15 year old me from high school is absolutely dying to know

[chaotic-goodsir]

Good morning, might I interest anyone in some hyperfixated rambling re:

1) Me being wrong about Wilbur Cross and John Macnamara's canon ages.

2) The newly explained Mega Bastards SaF lore (I know it's just Actor Curt Mega's headcanon but it's canon to me now)

3) The implications for my hcs about Wilbur being the Spankoffski bros uncle and John being related to Curt?

Keeping it under a readmore so I don't annoy everyone about this, because I have a lot of thoughts.

*

So it turns out I misunderstood John and Wilbur's canon ages in Black Friday.

According to the wiki they're around 42 and around 44 respectively in 2019. I'd imagined them as being 10 years older than this and therefore in their early 30s back in 1998, but in fact they should have been only 21 and 23 in that Saf/Hatchetverse crossover fic I wrote a while ago, and they were only 28 and 30 when the portal incident happened.

The question of whether Wiley can physically age post-2005 makes this interesting, though. Was Wilbur 44 in 2005, making Wiley eternally 44? That would mean that pre-portal Wilbur was a whole 15 or 16 years older than John, which works well I guess for the canon mentor-mentee context but not so well for my own MacNaCross headcanons. I think such a big age difference would change their dynamic a lot, plus I prefer the idea of Wilbur having been promoted at a fairly young age for a PIEP colonel.

For those reasons I'm gonna go with Wilbur being 30 in 2005 and Wiley being technically 44 in Black Friday, whether or not he ages in a normal human way. The most tragic implication of this is of course that I can't call Wilbur/Wiley a boomer anymore, since being born in 1975 makes them definitely Gen X :(

But it would also make the age difference between Wil and Annie (a Hatchetfield OC of mine who is Wil's sister and Pete and Ted's mom) much larger. Ted was born in 1984, so Annie would have to be at least 10 years older than Wilbur.

Having a 10 year age difference between the Cross Siblings would be kinda cool (it parallels the Spankoffski bros age difference!!) but it does mean rethinking all my headcanons about their sibling dynamic. Plus it would make Wilbur less than 10 years older than Ted and an actual uncle since the age of 9.

- Implications for my headcanons about where the Uncle Wiley character/voice came from? Perhaps.

- Would Ted have known Wilbur better when he was growing up? Seems more likely, especially if Annie helped her younger sibling out when he left home.

- What about Ted and Wilbur knowing each other around the time of the Jenny incident and the portal? Or when Pete was born in 2002? Or Homeless Ted's reasons for queuing up in Black Friday?

MUCH to consider and perhaps draw or write about some time.

*

Anyway. On a different note:

Combining Actor Curt Mega's headcanon about Agent Curt Mega having several illegitimate children with John and Wilbur's canon ages, it's completely possible (if you like SaF/Hatchetverse crossovers) for John Macnamara to be Curt's grandson.

If John is around 42 in TGWDLM and Black Friday, then he was born around 1976. So his mother or father could easily have been born in the early fifties as one of the illegitimate children resulting from Curt's spy activities. And it's likely John wouldn't know this, if the truth was kept a secret from him - which it probably would be, if his grandmother's line of work/status was the kind where you end up being seduced for espionage reasons by the world's greatest spy.

Again: Much to think about.

Hi, I’m a 23 year old zoomer working at Amazon and battling with ADHD, autism, depression, and diabetes.

Yeah yeah a mess, but one thing about a lot of zoomers…

That have main character syndrome, and well hollier than thou attitude

Yes I belive in working rights, but even in union run places. You are going to need to kiss a lot of asses.

Also the technology illiteracy, believe me I’m part of it. A lot of boomers and Gen x ( my father is the later) presumed that because my generation was born into the digital age we would know everything about tech.

But that like presuming a boomer now how to make nuclear weapons during the atomic age

Also a lot of people presume that most zoomers were in suburban and urban eras. Well my ass was born and raised in college town called Macomb Illinois for 7 years. I remember my family renting stuff from family videos. I remember vhs tapes, I remember putting those wires of the consoles I played with on those dvd/vhs combo systems.

Though I am atypical zoomers because my mom died I was 9, my tween years was a train wreck, fun fact I was diagnosed with autism and adhd AFTER I got into foster care at 11.

I’m in a financial and stable place now, well as you can get in the Chicago area.

But a lot of my generation….hmmm…damn I thought I wouldn’t say this.

But think a lot of zoomers the same ways you would see boomer hippies. I know a lot of working class boomers must had said “We are so fucked!” when they saw those upper middle class brats gain power

Sorry for my therapy session

That's the fun with lumping folks into generations, we're still all individuals with our own experiences so things are going to be wide generalizations.

Where doe all this stuff leave the Amish too, but that's more of a giggle and thought exercise.

Main character syndrome thing is a issue, that's every generation up till the next one catches up and the crossover happens just called teens/early 20's

be why every decade or so we get people popping up thinking they're the first ones to care about the environment and instead of coming up with solutions they just sling blame, that or the solutions are insane and wouldn't do any good, also that's not just the environment there's rotating wheel of agendas that goes round.

You start to see the pattern eventually.

I have great hope for Gen-Z though, just gonna take a bit for the lump group to hit it potential is all.

Boomers

Gen x

Millenails

Difference in their coming of age

So if you see my place at the top I have started with boomers, I find all the generational gaps fascinating and how we can like show different ways of being with different generations and what their Generations before them had taught them so we start with the boomers, and what they were raised like so they would have been raised by the Silent generation I believe or the greatest generation I forget between the two so there were two ways of being at this time.

my mum's are Boomer and she didn't rebellions her parents at all, whereas my uncle might of Here problems with alcohol and drugs so did my mom's sister so then in this generation you get the first generation of the real known groupies and the under age of it all, I don't know whether it is whether these Generations grow up faster or it just becomes more a topic that we look back on and think how the hell did that happen? I just think it's really interesting thing to look into and if you look at the covers of these girls and these magazines in the first roll of photos, you will see how young they look on the cover of star magazine.

They get a rap for getting all the money all the houses all the drugs and on the hardship which is technically true I mean G's I'm in a millennial and I'll be running into the rest of my life I've been in my place for us since 2016 so yeah as long as my dog has been alive. But some of these teenagers really rebelled who had sable star Laura Laurie Maddox ,bebe buelle ,and Pamela des bares.

When it came to the abuse in the industry, I think the Boom is took it actually the hardest as in it was more rampant than the further you go back even actually but of all these three Generations here I am talking about you see that they had to do with the the Harvey weinsteins, Woody Allen, Roman Polanski, of their times so they took it hard, but they were told to have a stiff upper lip ,and get on with it ,I think that's y early gen xers late boomers and even late gen x ers, have this complex that they should not feel a certain way about abuse and abuse in power .

Gen x were raised by early boomers and older greatest generation. Their generation rebelled more ,but in more aggressive way rather that Saturn in Pisces it was coming into aries /taurus punk movement then went , went to the grunge movement who are raised by the punk movement which makes sense unlike the boomers who were all happy dippy hippie Saturn in Pisces or Aquarius which you can really see of like the controversiality and the delusion representing acid and the weed whereas now Saturn is going into Aries and Taurus to signs that have horns are just gonna crash a grense things and be like hey I'm going to take this crap no more, see the gen x's I like millennials that don't talk about their pain I saw this the other day and that is the best way to put it don't fuck with a gen x so because you won't win, and then you have the subgroup but the xenialls!!! And that would be people born between 79 to say maybe 83 but Punk affected the gen x's I mean their generation compared to Milani holes and boomers are outstandingly small they even ended up in rehab, dead in prison or taking over the fucking world they are some strong motherfuckers.

So now the drugs of this time I forgot to talk about the late 70s early 80s which they were being raised by people who are on cocaine or crack or maybe even heroin.....

This generation raised the Kurt cobains to the Courtney loves the Spice Girls, TLC, NWA Rage Against the Machine, REM no doubt,Pamela Anderson, and so many more people .....

Then here come my fucked up generation millennials had at the hardest out of not having the best time out of these three groups when it came to the internet Revolution groups, because we were around when mobiles came out and we didn't really get along time as gen x is and boomerside we saw that little bit of greatness where you had those nights in the park getting drunk cause your friends before you are old enough to do so and also having the internet not affect it not checking your phone every 10 seconds to go and tick tock, I mean the music Now is just a disgrace programs now are just to me but maybe that's just getting old maybe that's just me so let's talk about millennials a bit or period is 1981 to 1994 yeah that's right!!we looked up to the gen x generation we were raised on spice Girls, a lot of us are just very tired ,I almost feel like we don't fit any the other group s including gen z because we gad the most hate on our bodies ,which sucks because we then get bullied online to by gen z and alpha !!! Very very sad .....we had paris hilton and Nicole richie , trisha pastas, holly Madison (just)I think ? Amy winehouse , Avril Levine, Britney, xtina , rihanna ,beyonce , ..so was some good uns taylor swift ,kim k ,cardi and nicki .justin beiber, and Timberlake.

it is fun discussing generational differences with my mom, who is Gen X and has a talent for making grumpy old men think she's One Of Them, because she has observed enough older people to accurately pinpoint that the reason America is so uniquely awful these days is because of the uniquely American ways we failed as a society after WWII. I give her observations of Boomers vs Millennials and she tells me that they mirror Boomers vs their own grandparents. society isn't falling apart, we're just unpicking all the trauma of war and the Great Depression. we're going to therapy and taking meds instead of drinking and beating our kids. we're being forced by an inhumane system to fall back on our human instincts to support and care for each other.

capitalism is a jungle alright, and human beings thrive by creating communities outside of it.

I don't know what happens when people hit the point of no return, but I heartily dislike it. Why are my partner and I closeted around my family?

Because. My mom is an ally, as long as it's not her babies. My father believed that anyone who isn't gay or straight is an "AIDS Monkey". But they are only Gen X. They were always like this.

My favorite uncle growing up was badass born on the back end of the Boomer generation. He looked like a biker version of the Comic Book Guy. We used to talk for hours about superheroes and movies and metal music. When I was little, there were great big bear hugs. He was the sweetest most open minded guy when I was growing up, and I related most to him. Then COVID hit.

His long hair is cut short. He dons a don't tread on me cap. Hours of Star Wars and Batman conversation is replaced with Fox News. My "husband" looks at me as if to say, "Was this the guy you were telling me about?" I honestly don't know anymore.

This morning I scrolled Facebook just because, and found this.

It was like a boot to the chest from someone you used to hold up high on a pedestal.

How can anyone in their right mind compare my community, one where people still hide from family, to NAZIS???? How are people trying to teach inclusivity to children anything like training youth to be as exclusive and hateful to the point where even the symbology they bastardized is a feared and ugly symbol. (It was originally meant to symbolize a sun. I had to look it up when I was younger).

The Nazis persecuted different faiths like my friends, the disabled like me, and the queer like my drag queen male passing "husband" and my pansexual genderfluid ass. Like our bridesmaid who wasn't always the maid she wanted to be. Like my baby sister who is bi and nonconforming.

I don't get it. Our flag welcomes all. Their flag killed anyone who was deemed lesser. Please tell me Uncle, how are we the same for teaching the children this?

I fear growing older, because I do not want to become as ugly in my heart as the old are to anyone different.

Not to like brag or anything but everyone at my job says I’m the best and the kids love me and the teachers fight over who gets to have me in their class or whatever and I’ve always been really good with kids but I was thinking about why this is because I don’t think I do anything particularly special and I don’t have a degree in this stuff and I have narrowed it down to the following:

- I listen

- I actively take interest in their lives/what they like doing and I make sure to take interest in the kids who are less extroverted/keep to themselves more, I tend to form some of the deepest relationships with the kids who are kind of given less attention bc they are ‘easy’

- I am patient when they are having an emotional reaction and I don’t rush to label it or discipline them

- I am literally just fun and I join in activities and give my 100% bc it is not embarrassing to me to do all the moves to we are the dinosaurs because I love them and want them to have fun too

And I don’t think this is especially exceptional like I don’t think I’m necessarily born with a gift. I do however think there is something to be said about the fact that I work with a bunch of moms who are boomers/Gen X and their parents never did any of this with them because it was only until recently that we decided to start treating children like human beings

#and even then just barely…

Saw your list of foods Joel would like. And aside from the foods we don't have here (not that I don't think Joel would like them, I just can't speak for them) it all makes sense if I compare to my mom's bf. Like ribs and beans. Those are Dad Foods(tm) and I cannot explain why.

those are all pretty strong, heavier southern foods white southern men tend to enjoy, i wasn’t really thinking of the dad thing but it’s pretty close to my list and my dad’s who is from the midwest lmao

truthfully my complaint was in fics they really just guess at the most bland southern food possible or what they’re familiar with in like… midwest areas of the united states. Americana.

i’ve seen the coleslaw headcanon more than once in a fic where they hold a “texan bbq” and it is dripping with Non-Southern Whiteness. i don’t know the exact origins of coleslaw (i should look that up) but it’s a pretty bland food and not really that traditional — you can tell it’s not an old, old traditional food because it has mayo. traditional southern cooking came from black people and poor people and is full of depth and flavour.

also, one could argue in the series, joel isn’t white. pedro pascal did an interview on “hot ones” and did brush on how when he was younger he ate spicy food around texas, and commented on real tex-mex i think. you could REALLY begin expanding this list if you applied that racial history to that version.

but, if i had to combine both versions, and sticking with the idea that joel is the typical white southern man from a baby boomer to gen X period, i think that’d be about the list.

p.s. i do think joel likes spicy food tho
