So I'm rewatching camp cretaceous (because of chaos theory) and having taught ~18-20 year olds for 2 years now the most unbelievable part of the first series is that a kid of that age would know how to use a computer well enough to navigate folders on a computer
#honestly i ask my students to share a file and they look at me like I've asked them to shit in their hands and clap#camp cretaceous#chaos theory#jurassic world#jurassic park#yes this is boomer time#im actually a milennial/gen z cusper but i feel older rn with this complaint

Hello, LGBTQ+ community. Theatre Gay is here to be... well, theatrical and of some unknown flavor of not-straight.
Housekeeping! Big thanks to @legallymean for helping me with his backstory, and an equally large thanks to @thenotorioushmk for all the kindness about this entire au, since we've been going wild every single time we get a new pic. Can't wait for when I can finally post some of the writing-- just need to find the right time...
[Previous pictures: Bandit | Hatter | Spooky Kid | Kid Squad | DJ Grooves]
While Maestro, otherwise known as "Al" by his friends and rival, is better known for his musical pro-shoots at Cooking Cat Studios, he's also the co-host of Chopping Board, a fun little series he and Cooking Cat have been making for years where they try making terrible recipes and drag their co-workers (Stationmaster and Goofy Mafia mostly) into testing it whenever they can't stand to taste it themselves. He's had a taste of first place, once, but he seems to be content with second... most of the time.
As kids, he and the rest of his team used to live in Subcon, and they were still relatively close to each other then, living in a town nearby the one that Princess Mu used to frequent. Al was frequently sent over the hills to sell his family's pasta, and since he was a bit older than the kids there, he tended to bully them a bit. He lived to regret that, with the burn scars to prove it, and though he personally isn't ashamed of his scars, he is self-conscious about how they make others feel, and only sheds his mask and glove on rare occasions.
Out of the two directors at Cooking Cat Studios, he's the more approachable, especially if you ask his cast. Through all these years and movies/musicals, they've always had his back, and he trusts them with everything he can. After all this time in second place, though, it's hard to imagine that he'd be happy with another silver award. Maybe that gold a few years back wasn't just a fluke...
#ahit#ahit au#owl's ahit swap au#mafia boss ahit#mafia boss a hat in time#ahit mafia boss#the owl posts#the owl draws#the owl writes#okay. time for me to talk here#This man is such a boomer#and his nickname is jarboy#and we haven't stopped poking fun at him#but i love him and his 2 braincells that are used solely for musicals#and yes. he showed stationmaster cats. can't wait for you guys to see her tomorrow from Cecil!#take it away y'all

People in the notes of that post are like ‘grow up turn your news app notifications on’ first off bold of you to assume I have ANY notifications on
second…no, I shan’t. ‘What about life threatening emergencies’ that’s what the emergency alert system is for anything that doesn’t require the very loud sound push notification from a government agency can wait until I decide to consciously read the news for the day.
Or my retired boomer mom texts me cryptically about it
#lol like no#which means yes sometimes I learn about stuff from the destiel app first#idk I’m really liking my retired boomer parents approach to news#put it on while cooking dinner local affiliate who covers a range of important stories weather then some local interest pieces#then as soon as it’s time to eat it goes off

Somebody said these were millenial coded and I've been trying not be offended for the last few hours
#YES AND???#I'm definitely not mad! I'm normal about these dolls and also the inescapable passing of time!!#Also parents buy toys not children#If boomers gen xers and millenials don't like the fashion they won't buy them for their kids/grandkids

wow I never do personal rants in the tags but I am so mad about a certain technology after a meeting about it and I don’t understand how anyone is giving it any credit at all
#just got off a zoom discussion of AI with faculty where I teach#I am boiling with rage (not at the faculty specifically just…about AI)#I don’t understand how anyone thinks generative AI can be used ethically when it scraped stuff from all over the internet#ppl say but humans do that amalgamation all the time YES AND THAT IS FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT#I don’t trust tech companies and I don’t think tech will save us#the most legitimate uses of generative AI are as band aids over poor labor practices#and AI is only going to worsen the problem academia has of just replicating itself forever#bc the technology is just about giving the most common answers#ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I feel SO reactionary it’s uncomfortable?? like am I being a boomer abt this#but it’s SO dystopian?? when it comes to art and writing#okay#done ranting#personal

Remember when tv shows seasons were so long, the writers were allowed to not only slowly build the plot and characters but they also had fun by making musicals episodes, Christmas specials, Halloween episodes and generally just some random episodes that did not make the plot advance but were amusing to watch?
#misc#ok I'm not personally a fan of musicals episodes#but the point is#writers had fun#actors had fun#viewers had fun#i love it when shows take time ok#yes i am acting like a boomer what about it

i think millennials are the worst generation i’ve had to work with i’m so serious
#op#sorry millennial mutuals i’m sure you’re great to work with this is just from my own experience#right now at work it’s me (gen z) one millenial and then everyone else is gen x and maybe a few boomers#and like mr millenial is the one who takes nothing serious??? ever???#first of all he’s literally mocked me a few times and i know he’s joking but it’s like idk u like that#and he’s always getting us talked to being reminded about guidelines BEVAUSE HE DOESNT LISYEN#i wish so badly i could be like ‘i think that was [name]’ because i’m not the one doing that!!!!#our manager sent a text reminding us tubs can’t be over 40 pounds and that a couple libraries were overfilled#and the tubs for those libraries were in the section he was working on yesterday#and i remember last week he said something#about how he hates making new tubs for just a few books and i said i don’t like to overfill them and i rather the drivers decide what to do#with an almost empty tub because they have a few options#like they could leave it put it in a full tub take a half full tub put a few in a bag etc#AND HE MOCKED ME FOR SAYING THAT#HE WAS LIKE OH HOW KIND OF YOU#WHAT?????? LIKE YES THATS KIND OF ME ACYUALLY THESE TUBS VANT BE OVER FORTY POUNDS#AND SOME OF THESE MEN ARE OLD AS DIRT#anyway i hate him and every millenial i’ve ever worked with i’m so sorry millenial mutuals#it’s not you it’s the dumbasses i’ve worked with#i would understand if u hate gen z a little but pls remember i’m the exception <3

my mom was just trying to tell me that it wasn't acceptable to send digital invitations to a graduation party
#she was like 'in my generation digital invitations send the message that you don't actually care'#and i was like 'okay in MY generation digital invitations imply the event is casual while paper invitations imply it's more formal'#and she was like 'well that's wrong'#girl no it's not#neither are wrong it's just dissonance in cultural beliefs#there's also a difference in delivery#i see texting someone an invitation as a less formal version of mailing it to them#which is non-confrontational#you just send it to them and wait for them to respond#however the way i would have to deliver my friends physical invitations is personally by walking up to them and handing it to them#which is more confrontational#through delivery (whether digital or via mail) the other person is given the opportunity to take some time before responding#which they can use to figure out if they are free or if they feel like going#while in handing an invitation to someone in person forces them to respond to you in some way during the interaction#granted they can say 'oh i'll have to check the calendar later' but that's significantly more awkward than giving a resolute 'yes' or 'no'#anyways she continued to argue about how i was wrong and i'm like literally neither of us are wrong we just have different understandings#but like a typical boomer she has to always be right and she can't bear the thought of a younger generation having a valid cultural view

Netflix plz stop fucking up your own service, I can't put up with my mother having a meltdown every time you log her out or force her to scan a QR code. If you keep doing this I'm just going to pirate all her shit for her.
#“i didn't bother with that because last time it didn't do anything!”#yes because you didn't follow the instructions#it doesn't just fix itself when you think about it#she's the boomer that calls and demands a human to fix a problem that requires two clicks from her

Well my great grandmother died the day before yesterday and while I'm not, like, happy about it, I didn't know her so I'm not like sad either. But I'm going to the visitation and funeral because I'm expected to and I will be there for my dad, who actually did know and care about her. I only hope we don't have a repeat of what happened when my great uncle died, i.e, me gazing emotionlessly at the corpse of a person I neither knew nor particularly cared about whilst my aunt melodramaticly urges me to "let go" of the grief under which she mistakenly believes I am laboring
#like there is no tactful way to say 'i dont care that this person is dead' especially AT THEIR FUNERAL SURROUNDED BY THEIR LOVED ONES#so i just stayed quiet. which is what I'll do if it happens this time but i will find it very annoying#like yes you could argue that the reason i did not know her is because i did not make a particular effort#but as a queer democrat in the south excuse me if i don't feel like chumming with baby boomers#esp since this very great grandmother thought we didn't talk to our bus driver bc she thought we were scared of him#bc he was black and she speculated we may never have seen a 'colored' bus driver before#like rachel you need to get out of the house more its not 1965 anymore????? we've seen black people#like i dont even like my immediate family anymore bc theyre all bigots of course i am not eager to delve into the mindset of THEIR parents#but of course my aunt and grandparents do not know i am a queer democrat#they mistakenly believe that i share their 'ideals'#so basically this funeral will just be awkward.
