Fun fact for all of y'all: in two weeks, I graduate with a Masters of Arts in History, and a completed Major Research Paper. I was the youngest in my class, and the first to finish. I am the first of my family to go to grad school. I hold so much pride in my heart at this moment.
@SteveSkojec I was born in 01, Gen Z. Didn't have a Walkman, but we had digital cameras and landlines. Hell, we still have a landline back home. Its easier for us cause we live in the boonies and cell service isn't reliable
I was born in 1961 too.
And this version of the past is a myth.
Kids did have food allergies we just didn’t have the science to name them.
I lost a brother before he was two because medicine didn’t yet understand what allergy killed him.
Trans kids didn’t “not exist.”
They hid. They were shamed. Many never survived adolescence.
Violence didn’t start with social media.
Bullying, racism, misogyny, and abuse were simply normalized and ignored.
Families didn’t stay together because things were better
they stayed together because women and children had fewer choices.
And no, it wasn’t just “Merry Christmas.”
We said Happy Holidays. Season’s Greetings. Yuletide.
Nobody lost their mind. Nobody felt threatened. We just… lived.
I rode buses and subways too
they weren’t magically safer.
We just didn’t talk about what happened on them.
What really changed wasn’t people.
It was visibility.
Data replaced denial.
Voices replaced silence.
And accountability replaced nostalgia.
The past wasn’t safer.
It was quieter because suffering had nowhere to go.
I don’t want a time machine.
I want a future where we stop confusing silence with peace.
Stop being such a boomer.
@SaraForTexLege I am happily alone. My last ex was deceptively charming until I tried to be myself. We broke up a year ago and im still finding myself. Id rather be alone than deal with that.

@FloreFlos My brother and I were once fighting so she parked at the beginning of our street, let us out, and made us walk home. We didn't fight that badly again. It wasnt a long street either, you could see our house.
@foreverdeb_ I constantly have people recommending keto or intermittent fasting to me. I'm type 1 diabetic. I like being alive. And yea I'd like to lose weight, but that'll take time considering my health issues and being on bc. So I take it one day at a time, and speak with a dietician.
Kamala hasn’t conceded as of yet and there are growing calls for an investigation to a litany of election irregularities including direct interference through bomb threats by Russia. Supporters are urging a recount in affected swing states.
