[Bev 🇨🇦 @Garnet_2203]

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.

[Foodtime @foodtimegaming]

I'm tired of these fucking "Magic Doomers"
"The game is dying"
"It's just Fortnite now"
"Commander is ruining magic"
"There are no consequences; (but I haven't read the story because I know it's bad somehow)"
Shut the fuck up!

Instead show me stuff in Magic your hyped about!

Having a “competitive format” mostly inhabited by casual piss babies is going about as well as you’d expect
