Shoutout to the Elder Millennial at the table next to me at the gaming bar, whose barbarian just charged into battle shouting "LEEEEROYYYY JENKINS!!!!"
and then had to stop and sheepishly explain a World of Warcraft meme to his genZ GM.

Also idk what parent needs to hear this but with the curriculum changing to reflect bigotry, you'll have to pickup the slack at home.
Not knowing your history and awful education leads to entire countries of people that dont know what communism actually is, never learned about organized workers movements (despite capitalism being the system), and can't recognize fascism when it's staring them in the face.
It's not a coincidence bigots are densely populated in areas with awful education systems. And it's not a coincidence they don't even see it as bigotry.
My kid is 9. She knows about police brutality, classism, and racism and why we fight it. She had to. She's brown kid, poor, and ADHD; naive by nature for the moment and I don't want her being taken advantage of or exploited. It's why she knows about boundaries, saying "no", and listening to herself.
This year during PRIDE she'll learn about stonewall and why we're still fighting for that too. She's old enough to tag along and participate with more understanding so she will. She's learned about bodily autonomy and women's rights as well. And she's learned about having a healthy relationship with nature; to respect the critters, plants, water, and climate.
Protest and fighting and standing up for yourself and your rights and being a good ally are all family values in my house. And if the school won't teach that to her then it's on me, just like it's on all of us.
And no, she doesn't know or understand enough to have a whole debate but she's 9. There's still so much time to teach her more. But she understands the basics and for kids, it really doesn't need to be more complicated than that because she's just interacting with other kids.
I taught her about police & homophobia in 2020 as soon as I got her back from her homophobic dad. She was 6.
It was as easy as "But I'm a gay people too & when you say theyre gross that hurts my feelings. Do you have to think what your dad thinks?"
Giving her the freedom to make that choice herself, to disagree, and grow out of it and end that association with "gross" was the best thing I could've done for her. Cuz guess who told me she might like boys and girls 3 years later?
Those many tiny talks over time could've saved her from decades of shame induced trauma.
Our kids deserve everything. And they deserve better. We must teach them that and we need to teach them to fight for it. Teach them what to fight against.
They aren't too young. Give them more credit. "Think of the children" by educating yours.

It’s crazy to me hearing Boomers and Millennials talk about what they wanted to be when they grew up. Being Gen Z, most of us have resigned to the fact that we will be poor for the rest of our lives unless some miracle of biblical proportion happens, a revolution occurs and the structures of government and economy are fundamentally altered, or we enter into a relationship with an unhealthy power balance. Owning a bed with a headboard looks like wealth and luxury that we’ll never be able to have. Actually OWNING a house?? Unimaginable. Being in a financial state where we don’t have the constant threat of hunger and destitution hovering over our heads? Nearly impossible. We aren’t afraid of the pain involved in a health crisis, we’re afraid of the expense. Yet I live in the greatest country in the world?

If you’ve already answered this then no worries, but what would the typical clan cat lifespan be then (assuming they don’t die prematurely from injury/illness). Just curious as to how many generations have passed since the clan’s founding in the 80 or so years.
Clan cat lifespans can be pretty variable! They're considered senior warriors at 5, but if all works out their lifespan is often 16 years. Kittens usually enter the picture for a parent who is 2 to 8 years old, but they COULD have them anywhere between 1 to 15.
Clan cats play less attention to raw age than to EXPERIENCE, though. It is socially discouraged for a fresh warrior to become a parent, and you are NOT an adult until you're out of apprenticeship. They see age like this;
Child: Less than 6 full moons SEEN. If a kitten's eyes were not opened when the first moon of their life passed over them, that is not a month they were alive.
Adolescent: The amount of time you are an apprentice. Flamepaw was considered a child while his sister was an adult.
Young Adult: The first full year out of apprenticeship, when you've handled a full year on your own. A warrior is only eligible for an apprentice after this length of time, so by extension a cat COULD be a mentor around age 2 (BUT that's considered young. 3 is a better bet.)
Adulthood is even more variable, because you're usually not considered "aged" until you've had an apprentice or a litter and you're around 5 years old. Without either of those things, you often won't be considered a "senior warrior" until you're as old as 8.
So to answer your question directly, you can comfortably estimate a new crop of warriors about every 5 years, and full population turnover every 15. Between the numbers, 8 is a good estimation of how long it takes for a generation to pass
(Though I'm more partial to historic events and time periods than crunching numbers like that)
Elders can hang on for a LOOONG time though-- One-eye over in ThunderClan was a personal friend of Pinestar and witnessed the Crusades before passing away at the tender age of 20-something.

I think the millennials forget how old Gen Z actually is. Like girl, I’m 20. I’m an 03 baby and I’m 20. Just because I wasn’t old enough in the 2000s to own my own flip phone doesn’t mean I didn’t use my parents ones, my older cousins ones etc. I may not have had my own MySpace but I watched older family members use it. All these ‘what gen z thinks the 2000s was vs what it actually was’ posts don’t make any sense to me. Like??? We know what it was like because we were kids then, and kids are like sponges, they watch and REMEMBER EVERYTHING.
I know exactly what you guys were doing because I watched you do it. That’s where the nostalgia comes from, what I watched the teens do and the child oriented things I did. We’re not too young to remember the 2000s we just had a slightly different 2000s than you guys did.

'Millennials look younger than Gen Z' discourse from Astrology POV:
While I don't necessarily agree with this, the statement could be easily explained by astrology:
Millennials were lucky enough to be born when Saturn - the planet of aging & time - is in strong dignity: Libra (1983), Capricorn (1988-1991), and Aquarius (1991-1994). Having Saturn in strong dignity (in a sign where it's in domicile or exalted), definitely gives you the privilege and advantage to age gracefully and look better with time.
Millennials also are defined by having their Pluto in Scorpio. Pluto is the planet of transformation, and also regeneration - think of a snake shedding its skin, or skin regeneration. Pluto is in strong dignity (domicile) in Scorpio, which gives millennials another advantage.
Gen Z were born in times when Saturn happens to be in weak dignity (in a sign where it's in fall or in detriment); Aries (1996-1999), Cancer (2003-2005), Leo (2005-2007).
Gen Z are defined by having their Pluto in Sagittarius. Pluto in Sagittarius is neither in strong nor in weak dignity here.
