very very widebeam (friendly) subtoot, generational pol, cw: family-issues adjacent
ok, it's cool when you talk shit about the boomers, i've heard y'all talk about your families and some of you are fucking heroes for surviving and transcending them
just when you generalize too hard remember there is someone in your presence who is not only a penitent gen xer who has caucused with you kids for a long time, but a dago-ass mama's boy
dunno about your folks but mine is a devoted award-winning educator who had a friend die at kent state and worked for forty fucking years to open kids minds
and i know she gave at least one kid the intellectual toolset necessary to break free from conservative christianity, because friends, that kid wrote this
and she's cheered for me from the day i told her i was dating a boy and probably gay-or-something and hung out with people who pretended to be animals
some boomers are, to quote from the book of my people, kickin rad, even if they can't hope to be half as rad as the millennials on down <3
re: very very widebeam (friendly) subtoot, uspol
even if she does insist hillary and trump are "just as bad" and argued with me about "ebonics" for an entire 2hr car ride once *sigh*
