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
