Just thinking out loud, but I see a lot of older generations (not even boomers, as young as Milennials) criticizing Gen Z for bringing up the sake shit they did.

"Well it's never gonna change! You think I had motivation to work?? You suck it up!" Well...it won't change with that attitude. And further more, aren't you pissed the cycle didn't end with you?? Isn't that what you fought for? And here we are worse off?

It's like they HAVE to be the winner of "who had it worse". There is no gold medalist in the Trauma Olympics, just a team of broken individuals.

Of course Boomers worked hard, they had their own issues.

Gen X worked hard, and lost their retirements twice and some may never retire

Milennials have lost their 401k once already and many don't own houses while others spent years overseas in a war we couldn't win.

Gen Z has never had a 401k, most will likely not ever own a home, we're at the front lines of a lot of mininum wage jobs and blamed for not spending money we don't have.

Gen Alpha is gonna worse off than us if we don't stop pointing fingers.

No one should have to struggle this much. So when we come out saying "we have no motivation to do anything bc nothing is getting better and politics are actively working to destroy workers rights" That's not us saying older ppl didn't have it hard! But it sure is a cry for fucking help.

Why are younger folks so angry? Bc when we ask for help from our elders we get told to fuck ourselves and suck it up. Why would we respect that??? Of course we're going to get angry! How would you feel if you asked for help and your kid said "fuck you." You'd be pissed!

Let's all be pissed at the real villains here...corporations, government, and 1% bastards. Government works for the people, and if we don't like how it's working? We have the right to demand and push for change. No more trauma Olympics. Walk out of the arena, stop playing the game. We're all tired and burnt out and angry and we have every right to be. Let's take back control for what future we have left.

sometimes its really obvious how much people dont actually believe presentation=/=gender when they see their nonbinary friend go from extremely masculine to relaxing back into femininity once theyre comfortable with their gender and every time they call it detransitioning with zero indication thats what their friend is calling it. i dont know how to tell you this but sometimes you present a certain way for social reasons and not because thats how you actually feel. sometimes you experience dysphoria about your body that is actually related to how people view you and not how you feel about your body. i really dont think its that uncommon for trans people to swing really hard in one direction for the affirmation and then relax back into a different presentation once they are more comfortable in their gender

In middle school, I used to draw on myself with sharpie all the way from my fingertips to my shoulder, just small doodles that formed a big sleeve at the end, and for the most part I got away with it, but ONE time during art class I did it again and while my art teacher didn't care (in fact I think he thought it was cool) there was a friend of mine who was suddenly like "look at what you did to yourself. you're gonna get skin cancer with all that sharpie on you. come here so I can wash that off you" and she pulled me to the sink, held me in place, and started scrubbing my whole arm with hand soap in the back of class for like 25 minutes. I was lowkey flustered the whole time like "I wanna sit down already" but she didn't care. she just lightly scolded me a bit more in spanish and kept cleaning me until my arm was completely free of ink. I don't know what my point is. I guess I'm just wondering "did that look gay to the audience? did that event mold me into the person I am today?"

is there an actual part in trk that i just don't remember that says ronan made adam sleep in declan's room or did everyone just decide that, because i feel like i'm the only one who never read it that way? i always took it as ronan probably being too wired to sleep, but adam -- being both very practical and always tired -- did need to sleep, but i feel like he wouldn't want to be presumptuous so took declan's room instead of ronan's.

like i absolutely understand that ronan is catholic and everything but i cannot for the life of me imagine ronan telling adam that he is not allowed to sleep in his bed lmao.

rennie whats your shoe size

Why? Do you plan to purchase new ones for me? Relay your question to the doctor, I have no time for such trivial concerns.

actually piggybacking off that last reblog i think we need to admit that the best way to describe the edgeworth and kay dynamic is “gay teenager and that one english teacher”

While im going at it im not even gonna lie I DESPISE THE GRIDDLEHARK SHIP WITH MY WHOLE SOUL AND IANTHARK EVEN MORE BECAUSE WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.

I cant fully describe it but harrow and gideons relationship was something way more than just romantic. Attracted to eachother and in denial perhaps, but i disagree with romantic being the primary nature of their relationship. The second they stopped hating eachother and got along more than the BARR minimum Gideon threw herself on a fucking spike to save Harrow. How could they have had enough time to love eachother.

Secondly, Ianthe is just absolutely slimy. I dont like that she was 22 and harrow was not even 18 and she decided that she wanted harrow as her wife. I do not like it at all. Ianthe took advantage of harrows vulnerability and to her attraction to harrow was predatory.

i just spent the last 40 minutes rescuing a large wasp from the web of a small spider that was way too threatened by it to even attempt the bite and just left it alone.. one side of it was pretty badly tangled but it ended up just sitting in my hand as i slowly pulled pieces away. i couldn't get all of it off but i did get enough that its wings were free and it had use of all its legs. then i took it outside and placed it on a plant where it went to work grooming itself T_T i hope it'll be okay

gang i have to share this P. G. Wodehouse quote with you all because ever since I found it I can't stop thinking about it. it's from a letter he wrote when he was 78 years old to his friend Guy Bolton (many thanks to P. G. Wodehouse: A Life in Letters)

I have been on the sick list myself, but am better now. Inflamed bladder or chill on the bladder or something, the symptoms being agony when I passed water, as the expression is. It brought back the brave old days when I used to get clap.

he really said "yeah the pain from my bladder issue reminds of the days when I used to have so much sex I repeatedly got venereal disease"

ew i hate looking back on any social media and seeing my old cringe posts (especially on tiktok) like help!!!! that isn’t me anymore don’t look please!!!! 😅 i can barely handle my current cringe posts don’t make me revisit the past please!!!! i am working so hard to constantly keep growing and learning and changing my mindset and becoming a better me every day and i am no longer that version of myself and i do not know her like that anymore. but dang like her reminants are still out there lingering and i do not like it one bit… 😔

I have some more Rook concepts but they're both Crows:

Human woman, uses seduction, but is getting older and ponders if that's all her life was ever worth, and if she's a hollow shell if her looks are fading. Romance Emmerich?

Elf man, also uses seduction, but grows fond of Bellara and his clever words are taken too literally / misunderstood / etc, so he has to be genuine for once in his life.

Chat, what are we feeling?
