Real talk (MH - and +, work, stress)
Know a lot of folks haven't been in the loop on this, but I'm basically taking this weekend to recover from a fairly serious breakdown where work stress finally got too much. *Thankfully*, I have a boss who cares about me as a person, and he basically told me "go rest, we'll hold the fort while you recover" plus a fair bit of "yeah, I don't know how you guys have done this this long /anyways/.

@troodon Thank you for this. Needed a vote of confidence this weekend, and you delivered. <3

re: some thoughts about "OK Boomer" from a GenX perspective
it hurts because it's speaking truth to power. it hurts because Boomers have built a culture that looks to them as the wise ones, the gatekeepers, the elders with power, and the Kids These Days aren't playing the game right. it's not disrespectful or confrontational--it's a swerve, a dodge, taking a pass on the whole packaged cycle of obedience and rebellion.
and that's why it doesn't hurt their parents, us GenXers. I have to admit, if somebody said "OK Gloomer" (heeee) to me I'd have to shake my head, laugh a little, and say "yeah, you got me." we're used to being disregarded and silenced. we love you, our kids... but we know better than to try and take away your voice. even if we wanted to, we know we can't. we can give advice and support, and you can take it or leave it as you will. but you're the ones who are leading the charge to change the world right now. drive us to a brighter, better future, or drive us off a cliff... either way, we're proud of you.
OK, Millenials and Zoomers. you've got this. 💚

@IrisKalmia I think you assume too much with that 'No.' Some of us have imaginations along the same lines, and are even writing stories about them. :)

@DialMforMara thats sounds wonderful. At some point I still want to play a Tabaxi Necromancer who raises the dead to protect nature
@makyo@snouts.online I feel you. Slept most of the day recovering from work nonsense.
Art piece, colored, sharing!
@Veladynee Beautiful! And scary wing talons! <3
@rey Sleep well. Hope tomorrow is a better day. <3
Oof. Been absolutely blasted since I flew out to San Diego to meet up with family. Missed them oh so much. >.<
@kelseyhusky Really glad to hear that's going well for you. <3

see i'm glad i've found mastodon, land of the furries and furry-adjacent, so i can say this and everyone will get what i mean:
as a society we need to recognize that head scritches tap into a deep and powerful source of happy that i personally theorize is leftover from "monkey brain say social grooming good, ook", but basically, we should normalize scritching someone's scalp/playing with their hair/etc. as a good casual loving touch like snuggling
thank you for coming to my ted talk,
@Veladynee eeeeeeeeeeeee *hugshugshugshugs* :D
@Leucrotta eeeeeeee :D

It’s a comfortable dawn in the city, and you are a sleepy dragon.
