*sharing this truth tea*
Her face says everything
This hotel reminds you to steal the toiletries!
I work in hotels/resorts, and honestly, take the little shampoos and soaps! We throw them away when you leave (we donât know if youâve opened them and messed with them or whatever, so for health and safety it all goes in the trash) If you stay at the fancier places or chains, theyâve actually done some bit of thought into the scents for the toiletries, in that if you use them while at home youâll remember the time you stayed at the hotel and be more likely to return. Just donât take the towels or the robes or any of that shit, itâs expensive.
This is true, all soaps, shampoos, and the like are tossed after a guest checks out of the hotel even if itâs clearly unopened because it is considered a health hazard violation in most places if theyâre left there. If someone were to somehow get sick from it, a hotel can be shut down. Just take the toiletries, theyâre ordered in bulk as is and only cost the hotel a few dollars to order them by the hundreds
And even if you donât use them, you can donate them to your local homeless shelter or other similar charity and give someone something they could use that would otherwise go to waste.
PLEASE TAKE THE SOAPS. PLEASE DONATE THE SOAPS. Itâs one of the biggest requests shelters/supply banks get. You want to make their fucking day? Show up with socks, undies, diapers, and toiletries.
And here I am not taking them to avoid being wasteful.
And here I was not wanting to steal things from the hotels. The more you know.
Reblogging again because I didnât even think about donating them to charity. I figured they were too small to be useful, but they would be perfect for shelters and the like.
I like how this check list also assumes that youâd probably forget your kids if not reminded by a check list.
reblogging for the comments

âJust divorced the son of a bitchâ oh my god
Is that an accurate translation?
Actually, a better translation would be âjust divorced the son of a dogâ (supposed to be an insult towards the guy and his father) lmao but yes itâs accurate.
ââżâ
awesome. also a really great example of how the hijab, or in this case the niqab, is not what we should be focusing on when we talk about female empowerment in majority Muslim countries.Â
I NEED THIS
I found it! My life is COMPLETE
I need this!
Okay but there is also a FUCK TRUMP one I am deadÂ
I have reblogged this so many times but now theres a fuck trump one
Itâs like it was made just for me đ
I have one of these!
This is precious and exactly what we all need.
I think I might have broken my finger reblogging this.Â
EVERYONE TAKE A MINUTE TO JUST APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT DONALD GLOVER EXISTS AND KNOWS WHAT THE FUCK IS UP
just because you meant it as a joke doesnât mean you didnât do something wrong. i teach preschool and i canât believe six year olds understand this concept better than adults. if you say something hurtful, youâre the bully, not the person who gets upset. it might feel icky to realize that you do have bigoted beliefs; but when you blow off apologizing with âpeople who know me know i donât mean it,â youâre not helping the people you hurt and youâre not changing the way it sounded. why in the heck is it so hard for grown people to just admit they were wrong and apologize for it.
freedom of speech isnât freedom from consequence and iâll say it until my blood runs dry. hate speech is also not covered under the first amendment. and again, a concept preschoolers understand: your words are not more important than the safety or comfort of another person.Â
yes. legally i canât stop you from printing and screaming whatever you want. but legally you canât stop me from being angry and responding to it. and if you expect others to just ânot get offendedâ by what you say, you must also expect others not to take you seriously at all! listen. if you understand i can send a child into the hallway for calling another child names, you can wrap your head around the fact you donât have the right to do and say whatever you want without somebody reacting. this isnt your world, itâs all of ours, and weâre allowed to ask you to leave the classroom. grow up, realize you actually might have done something bigoted - even by âaccidentâ - and change yourself for the better.
and if youâre the type who just throws a hissy fit every time somebody points out youâre being a bully⌠congratulations. youâre acting like a four-year-old.

Advice for girls: buy skinny jeans in the boyâs section
Theyâre more comfortable, still form fitting, and best of all: THE POCKETS. THEY HAVE ACTUAL POCKETS.
donât believe me? look:
these are boys pants, and they look just as good on me as any other skinny jeans I own
See that phone? Iâm going to put it in the pocket. Must be so small right??
Ah yes, girl pants length. Probably canât fit any further than that-
what? whatâs this?
Good god. Oh good lord in heaven. This is blasphemous.
Look at how much room is still there. Thereâs chaos in the streets. Babies are crying. Fashion designers are screaming out of fear of the unknown.
Buy your pants in the boys section, girls. Live in the beautiful world you deserve where you can fit shit in your pocket.
Curvy ladies: Menâs dress pants have more room in the butt. I donât know why, I only know that all my dress pants for work are off the rack in the menâs department in Target. Literally nobody has noticed, except a couple of my younger coworkers whoâve asked meâyou guessed itââoh my god, where did you find pants with pockets?â
Tall ladies: menâs pants are easier to find in longer lengths than womenâs pants are.
Trans ladies: Wanna get on this gravy train, but afraid people will misgender you for wearing clothes off the menâs racks? Step one: tell me who these people are and I will punch them in the face. Step two: if it doesnât make you dysphoric, please donât feel obligated to wear pants off the womenâs racks if pants off the menâs racks are more comfy/useful to you. Iâm a cis woman whoâs been wearing pants from the boysâ section and, later, the menâs section, ever since I hit puberty and in thirteen years maybe, maybe half a dozen people have noticed. And itâs always women asking the oh-my-god-pockets question. Youâre all good. <3
Fat ladies: you will pay the same for a pair of 42x32 jeans as for a pair of 34x32 jeans, instead of having to pay some kind of Fat Penance Tax by way of being in the âplus sizeâ section. Also, did I mention more room in the butt?
Ladies concerned about modesty: For obvious reasons, there is more crotch space in menâs pants. Embrace it and enjoy a life free from cameltoe worries and spontaneous labia-wedgies when you squat down.
All ladies: I swear to god the waists in womenâs pants these days are made specifically to fit exactly nobody so that no matter what you do, your underwear will show. Menâs pants do not do this. The waists sit where theyâre supposed to and will actually lay flat against the small of your back instead of flopping open to show your unmentionables to the world. If you want hiphugger jeans, buy one leg-length too small and one waist-size too large and let them hang, and they still wonât accidentally show your undies. Menâs pants will last longer. They cost less, in a lot of cases. Embrace the menâs jeans. Buy the menâs jeans. Stop buying shitty flimsy womenâs jeans that wear out in six months.
AND FINALLY: to determine your size in menâs pants, take a tape measure around your waist at its smallest point. This is your waist size and will be the first number in a pair of menâs pants. Next, take the tape measure from about an inch below your no-no squares parts, and run it to your ankle. (You may need a friend or parent to help with this.) This is your inseam length, and will be the second number on a pair of menâs pants. Menâs and boysâ pants are tailored the same way, so if you have trouble finding your waist size in menâs, hop over to the boysâ section. Feel no shame. If theyâd give us decent fucking pants we wouldnât have to steal theirs, right?
Listen you guys, I am SO MAD ABOUT THIS. Iâve seen this first post before, and recently my mom said, âHey, did you see that post on Tumblr about shopping for jeans in the menâs department?â
And I said yeah, Iâd seen it, Iâve been through the Trying To Fit Clothes On My Stupid Body wars, and this post really only applied to skinny jeans because theyâre so stretchy. It couldnât possibly work for regular jeans! I have TRIED SO MANY TIMES. Iâve always shopped in the menâs department because womenâs clothes are like 90% bullshit and 10% fake pockets.
But I hadnât seen the second addition, which gave me more hope, and I decided to just try on a few pairs when I was at Old Navy the other day. They have some âclassicâ jeans with no give to them at all, which is what I was trying on years ago that convinced me it just wasnât possible. (Jeans in my price range didnât really come with any form of stretch back then, as I recall. Textile technology is bad-ass.) But these days they mostly have âflexâ jeans that have some give to them. (Womenâs jeans are usually labeled âstretchâ but apparently menâs have to be âflexâ like they need stretchy garments so their HUGE MUSCLES donât just TEAR THEIR CLOTHES!)
This was totally an impulse decision so I couldnât measure myself, but I grabbed a few sizes based on what I vaguely thought my measurements probably were and decided it couldnât possibly be worse than the endless cycle of regret, dissatisfaction, and recrimination that is trying on womenâs clothing.
The first pair I tried on fit like a DREAM. Iâve been gaining weight lately which is a whole separate nightmare (mainly centered around âbut I donât WANT to buy new bras, this is bullshit!â) and the reason I need to buy new jeans because nothing freaking fits me, and I was sure these wouldnât either, but DAMN. Theyâre the best pair of jeans I own. Twice as thick, pockets twice as big, legs nice and loose (they donât even sell womenâs jeans with a cut remotely similar to this), and contrary to my super dumb opinion from before this experience, theyâve got my plenty of room for all my womanly curvey bits. AND because theyâre actually a relaxed fit instead of trying to cling to every inch of me, they donât show my weight nearly as much as my womenâs jeans do, theyâre easier to move in, theyâre not constantly inching down my hips with every move I make, and overall they just make me feel GOOD about how I look which is a strange new sensation I could definitely get used to.
Itâs like a miracle. I want to cry both out of joy and because of all the shitty jeans now filling my closet when I could have been buying comfortable, relaxed, pocket-having menâs jeans all these years. Many blessings to the posters above, may your crops grow and your cows give milk and your jeans hold all the gadgets you desire.
letâs be honest though, millennial hate is totally a thing rich folks started because theyâre pissed that we have really unpredictable consumer habits and it isnât as easy to get us to buy into stuff, so theyâre mad we arenât just money giving/traditional economy supporting machines like they expected us to be
like look at how much millennial hate articles are things like âmillennials arenât eating cereal and itâs hurting the cereal industryâ or âmillennials arenât buying houses and thatâs badâ or âmillennials #1 utmost priority isnât trying to make as much money as possibleâ and rich folks are mad about it, so just posturing our unpredictability/nontraditional values as âlazinessâ gets everyone else on board the hate train in some weird attempt to collectively subdue us
âYou are Doing Capitalism Wrong and it scares meâ - bitter Boomers to Millennials who are not buying into their shit (or buying their shit)
Keep in mind that the subprime mortgage crisis was at a pretty pivotal time in Millenialâs lives, and taught them that financial institutions are not on your side, will lie to you, and specifically will lie to you about what you can afford. Like, this isnât coming from nowhere.
I mean boomers refuse to pay a living wage to anyone and then wonder why those people donât buy anything? I am sorry but what exactly is the disconnect here?
Millennials value work that has meaning above work that pays well and they hate that as well.  It means we canât be shut up with busy work while theyâre made to seem like theyâre running a well oiled machine.  They come from a generation of a boss being someone who says âdo what I say because I told you toâ and we come from a generation who values a boss that says âwhat can I do for you that will help you excel at your job?â
Millennials do not cope well with meaningless busy work so their boss looks better.  They donât cope with being talked down to or not being assisted by their boss when they have a problem.  They do not deal well with their innovative ideas being shut down because âthatâs not how we do it here.â and I donât see how any of those things is a problem.
Millennials are also the first generation since the internet was a prominent thing to utilize it as a source of information in a way that is empowering for each other.  A single millennial can buy a product and then inform anyone who wants to know about the quality of said product.  It only takes a handful of millennials to say âthis is a substandard productâ to render all the millions of dollars spent on advertising that product completely useless.
Big business has been a blotch on millennials lives since before most of you could even assume a role in adulthood to effect it, so you trust one another more than you trust advertisements or sponsorship, etc. Â
On the flip side, though, you enthusiastically will push and promote things that you love.
Big business and their baby boomer CEOs and presidents HATE this. Â Because it means that they can no longer provide a substandard product while making the consumer feel there is nothing better out there.
In the past, if every dish soap was awful, you just had to continue using awful dish soap.  Now, you can crowd source an alternative.  You can post in a forum, your facebook, a mass text, etc and say âI hate every dish soap, what can I do?â and you will be directed to actual good brands or you will be taught how to brew your own.
Youâre a great generation, Iâm really proud of you guys.
Seriously, tho.
Iâd love to buy a house, but I canât afford a down payment and canât be certain that Iâll have the same income levels for thirty years and I donât actually know whether the banks will accept my highly-fluctuating, self-employed-and-seasonal-labor income as stable enough or high enough to be approved for a mortgage.
And also every new housing development Iâve seen in the past five years has been âExecutive Housing, Starting At 390Kâ and the realtor websites are full of last decadeâs foreclosed subdivision homes in the $275K region, and thereâs legit no one, including the zoning board, thatâs going to help me find or make a cute little house on a tenth of an acre in the region of $50-60K, let alone every other millennial who might like to settle down in a place that suits her desires and means.
Oh, and that same zoning means five people arenât allowed to share that $300K, 5-bedroom McMansion, because fuck us, thatâs why.
And what else? The refrigerator that recently conked out on me was manufactured in 1967. That thing lasted almost fifty years, and today if I walk into a big box storeâs appliance department to buy a new refrigerator they will tell me I should really buy a warranty to cover the apparently-substantial risk that it will break within two to five years.
Oh, and thereâs apparently a $400ish premium to buy one with a convenient configuration because if you want the refrigerator on top and accessible without bending down for anyone taller than your average first grader there arenât any of those in the entry-level price range. Once again, fuck us.
Then thereâs the labor market itself, where âentry levelâ positions want three-to-five years of experience, and everybody wonât shut up about the trades but even that requires a $5K+ outlay to go to school for it, and every fast-food restaurant out there has a permanent âNow Hiringâ sign up because they drive employees away as fast as they can replace them.
And so many food-service jobs involve being forced to throw away loads of food as it expires but if you eat it or take it home itâs viewed as stealing, and retail jobs sometimes require you to smash perfectly good computers with a sledgehammer so nobody can use them, and fuck all of this, yes, Iâm gonna make my own goddamn laundry detergent from a recipe I found on the internet, and Iâm gonna buy as much of my vegetables as possible in seed form, and Iâm gonna fucking read the consumer reviews on shit before I buy it and Iâm going to source a refrigerator from Cragislist for approximately the price of the warranty on a new one, and if The Market wants me to buy a house, it can bloody well wait for me to have the money.
Because seriously, with its âAsk not what your economy can do for you, ask what you can do for your economyâ mindset and historic, far-reaching fuckery, the business side of the equation has little room to complain about millennials being the selfish ones.
I reblog this every single time it shows up on my dash
rant incoming in 5⌠4⌠3⌠2⌠1⌠ââŚbitter Boomers to MillennialsâŚâ  Okay, but Gen X also ex- â⌠subprime mortgage crisis was at a pretty pivotal time in Millenialâs livesâŚâ Yes but hi Gen X als- âMillennials are also the first generation since the internet was a prominent thing to utilize it as a source of information in a way that is empowering for each other.â OKAY LISTEN UP IF YOU WANT TO BE NOT-LIKE BOOMERS HOW ABOUT STARTING WITH BEING DIFFERENT BY REMEMBERING THAT GENERATION X ALSO EXISTS IN THE GAP BETWEEN YâALL THERE. OUR OWN FUCKING PARENTS TEND TO FORGET WE EXIST AND WE DONâT NEED THAT SHIT FROM YâALL YOUNG WHIPPERSNAPPERS ON TOP OF IT. Hi, now that I have your attention, please remember that consumerism is not a âtraditional economyâ or âtraditional valueâ. Modern capitalist consumerism is a product of the peri- and post-WWII economic âboomâ that started with a wartime economy rescuing the nation from the Great Depression in the US (FDR tried, but the war was what succeeded!) and ended with a frantic scramble to keep the effect going. Remember, âBaby Boomersâ are called that because they were born in the âBaby Boomâ â the population explosion â that resulted in part from soldiers returning home and moreso from US national optimism after winning the war and re-establishing prosperity to an unprecedented degree, at least as far as the middle class was concerned. They were born into an almost feverish economy based on everyone buying as much as possible as an act of patriotism. Thatâs what they were taught was virtuous â buying at the edge of your ability to keep the economy strong for everyone. It started out as a collectivist idea. They arenât pushing that because theyâre selfish monsters or the villains in the latest DC Comics movie adaptation. They were raised to genuinely think the economy will collapse if everyone doesnât spend money, even on things they donât necessarily need and canât necessarily afford. They couch this in the âresponsible spendingâ language they inherited from their own parents, but when it comes down to it, the actual attitude they inherited was a fear that if everyone stops spending, the economy will collapse â and that a freely-spending, ambitious, thriving middle class is what will keep the nation from sliding back into another depression. They tend to resolve this conflict between words and attitudes by pushing the purchase of large, lasting things that preserve or can create their own value, like property or family businesses â the things that got their parents through the Great Depression intact, if that happened â rather than things that didnât exist when they were younger. They lived through their twenties without a cell phone but managed to buy a house, so cognitive dissonance between âbuy ALL the things!â and âbuy only the right things, the responsible thingsâ finds an easy out with quick-fixes like âMaybe if you didnât buy a new cell phone every three years (like I didnât) you could afford a house (like I did).â Before the Boomers, the âvirtuousâ economic attitude was âuse it up, wear it out, make it do, or do withoutâ â an attitude strikingly at odds with buying a new $600 cell phone every two or three years. (Not that I judge anyone for the latter; âplanned obsolescenceâ, or the deliberate tactic of making sure that customers who buy your product will need a new one in a few years in order to ensure more-frequent purchases, is also a real thing and a major factor that Gen X and Millennials must take into account in our budgets that our parents â Boomers and Silent Generation alike â tend to find baffling and irresponsible.) But the Boomers outnumber the generations before and after them so dramatically â 77 million Boomers, an estimated 50 million Silent Generation (Boomersâ parents), and 65 million Generation X (Boomerâs children, also called âBaby Bustersâ because of the decline in birthrate at the beginning of our cohort) â that they basically outshout everyone else. More than three of them to every two of their parents gave them the megaphone to tell everyone what the world was really like, and more than one-to-one of them to their children let them tell their kids that was how the world has always been. So they told Gen X that this was the way the world had always been, and since they were running the classrooms, Gen X had to believe it â at least long enough to fill in the right bubble on the Scantron â and then find out the truth for ourselves. The truth about how the wartime economy never ended, it just became entrenched as the military-industrial complex instead; the truth about how slavery never ended, it just moved from plantations to prisons; the truth about how our Boomer parentsâ entire economic ideology of equal opportunity for equal work is still based, at its root, on colonialism and feudalism and is just the same socioeconomic elitism of the past dressed up in The Emperorâs New Economy. Which is why it is so damned depressing to watch an entire generation following mine forget that weâre here, that weâve been where you are, that weâre still where you are, and we might have a few things to say about that. Gen X is, depending on who you believe regarding generational divisions, anywhere from our mid-30s to our mid-50s. Weâre in the same shit economy. Lots of us are still living with our parents, or have had to move back in with our parents, and take the same flak for that Millennials take â with an extra dose of âI can understand it from those kids these days, but at your age?â We canât afford to buy or insure new cars and canât afford to fix or even buy used ones. We take the bus to work in a car-only town and tell our parents itâs just more convenient, itâs so we can catch up on our reading, rather than admit our car got a flat a month ago and was towed before we could get a replacement used tire on it and now we canât afford the impoundment fees, because our Boomer parents have never been interested in our explanations of how the world works differently now and are honestly getting too old to explain new things to sometimes anyway these days. Weâve been yelling at Boomers for so long my class song was literally one big âfuck you, we arenât the ones who fucked this shit up to start with and now we have to clean up your mess while you yell at us for its existence in a world you screwed up beyond your ability to understand how it even works any moreâ no-love-your-kids song to the Baby Boomers. WE MIGHT BE A USEFUL FUCKING RESOURCE. So letâs start with this: there is nothing wrong with not buying. There is nothing wrong with you for being unable to buy things. There is nothing wrong with being unwilling to buy things you donât need. There is nothing wrong with being willing to buy things you donât need, if thatâs what gets you through another day in the Boomersâ meat-grinder, still churning out comfort for them and shame-and-blame for everyone younger who doesnât produce enough to ease their retirement years like their parentsâ pensions used to do. (You youngâuns remember pensions? Maybe not; the Boomers did away with those.) Look, of all the things I love about Millennials â and thereâs plenty! â one of my very favorites is the insistence on good information. Even current events aside, Millennials have a delightful tendency to want primary sources, hard numbers, apples-to-apples comparisons. In a time when schools have decided to phase out critical thinking as âunnecessaryâ, yâall are teaching yourselves what ought to have been offered to you. In a time when schoolbooks call kidnapped slaves âimmigrant workersâ, yâall are refusing to accept bullshit revisionist history. In high school in the 1980s/90s, I had to deal with 10-minute made-for-classrooms âeducational digestâ TV shows sponsored by petroleum companies and feeding us a carefully preblended pabulum of âKuwait is a sister-democracy we owe support and liberation!â (Sure, it was a one-citizen, one-vote âdemocracyâ, but citizens had to be male, Arabic-speaking Muslim property-owning men and made up less than 1/3 of the population â that was a lot harder to find out from the library than from the Internet just 5 years later!) Now, your kids are staring down the barrel of Shell Oil Elementary School and Texaco High. I donât think theyâre going to get a less-biased education than I did. And who will that education serve? Itâs not going to be the Gen X retirees no longer served by the soon-defunded and -defunct Social Security payments of those kids, our grandkids. It will be the estates, legacies, and heirs of the same Boomers who made bank on my graduating class, eagerly enlisting in 1991 to go âprotect democracy!!1~!â in the Middle East. So three more bits of advice: * Resist the revisionists. Demand accurate information, unbiased analysis, creative synthesis. Demand education in any and all forms that can be trusted. Demand it for everyone. Demand it for your kids, so young their cohort is just placeholdered âGeneration Zâ. Demand it for your parents, who are about as likely to be Gen X as Boomers and still flailing in the toxic pigslop we were fed when schools were still trying to be all covert about it. Demand it for Boomers, who can still be rehabilitated! Education is the fundamental truly-democratizing service. Insist on science. Insist on history. Insist on fine arts. Refuse the idea that all you and/or your kids need to know is how to graduate from Cola High School trained for a job in a bottling plant. * Resist ageism. I know itâs easy to gripe about âeveryone over $ageâ â hell, itâs pretty much the original human hobby! â but those over-40s I see people complaining about are not Boomers. Over-40 was a Boomer when I was in my 20s. Itâs Gen X now. And we didnât start this motherfucking fire, yo. It was always burninâ, since the worldâs been turninâ. But daaaaayum if the Boomers didnât go and throw a bunch of used tires in that Dumpster and then piss gasoline all over it. No, we didnât light it, but weâre tryna fight it. Refer to the first bullet point; I see people blaming Reaganâs (1981) policies on people who were still too young to vote against Bush 41 (1989)! Make sure your history is sound before you point fingers, please. Someone whoâs 55 right now might have been just barely old enough to vote in Reagan vs. Carter â but if they were 18 that year, the plurality of their age group voted for a second Carter term and that age group voted Carter in larger numbers than any other age group. See also the quote, âMillennials are also the first generation since the internet was a prominent thing to utilize it as a source of information in a way that is empowering for each other.â You arenât, actually; youâre the second. But thatâs okay; Gen X is fucking well used to being forgotten-about and credit for our shit handed off to others by now; weâve been losing that game for 40-odd years, on average. The point is that this is a great time to embody that and learn to look your shit up, not because it hurts Gen Xâs feelings to be blamed for this shit (okay, it does â see 40-odd years &c. â except weâll never admit it, because we feel like we should be used to it now; see again that 40-odd years &c⌠but also, erasure: not cool, letâs not do it to 65 million people please) but because working off inaccurate information leads to unwanted results. Youâll be more effective talking about the long-term effects of Reaganâs policies if you recognize when youâre talking to someone who witnessed it firsthand â even came of age during it â as the Reagan/Bush juggernaut we were powerless to stop, both by age and by numbers. Remember that 76mil to 65mil outnumbering? While Gen X was just coming of voting age, all the Boomers were already at the polls. I donât get to talk to people very often about watching the rise of the Religious Right crusaders and the courtship between social conservatism, Christianity, racism, and political power because my friends tend to either forget that Iâm not a Boomer or forget that Iâm old enough to have been watching the roots of this happening in realtime when I was in middle school and junior high. (I artificially pepper my language with words like âyoungâunsâ and âwhippersnappersâ to remind people of this, because otherwise Iâm assumed to be a Millennial retrospectively hypothesizing about events I was there for, just because Iâm clearly not a Boomer.) Whatâs happening now is an outgrowth â arguably, the intended result â of things that happened when Boomers were the age Gen X is now. Use our living memories. * Remember we outnumber them. Hell, you alone outnumber them; thereâs some 80+ million of you. You got this â just barely â by the numbers. But not by socioeconomic power; theyâre still enacting policies to make sure they keep as much of that as possible for themselves and bar you from it even more than they did to us â they donât outnumber you, so theyâre going to undereducate you, underemploy and overwork you, and then tell you that you should be grateful for it all because youâre just too lazy to get anywhere more secure in life. (Want to know how I know their playbook? Letâs play âAsk a Gen Xerâ!) But between Millennials and Gen X together, we outnumber their original birth rate by 2-to-1, and there are (to put it gently) fewer of them in fighting trim every year. We outnumber them. We can outvote them. Gen X alone fought a losing battle against an overwhelming force; together, our cohorts can put the Boomers in the position weâve all occupied for far too long⌠our whole lives. Just, you know. Remember we exist first, okay? Thatâs a good place to start.

Climate change is not that complicated! (h/t)
also!!! just because i donât understand something well enough to explain it in sparkling detail doesnât mean it isnât real!!! THATS WHY THEY INVENTED SCIENTISTS
Also, today is my parentsâ anniversary! Â Theyâve been married for thirty-eight years, and together for forty.
I donât want to preach, but if you are ever afraid because you are asexual. Â If you have a relationship that isnât based on romantic love. Â Mom is asexual. Â She also said no to my dadâs proposals three times because she wasnât in love with him, and she was and still is repulsed by sex.
When Dad asked the fourth time, my mom broke down in tears. Â Because she didnât want to break his heart, because she still cared about him so damn much even if what she felt wasnât romantic love. Â Because the only reason she would have sex with him or anyone was because she wanted to have her own children. Â And you know what?
Dad still wanted to be with her, from the time he was eighteen until they both were ready for the grave. Â Because he didnât want to ever be without his best friend in the whole damn world. Â Mom meant that much to him.
I can count on one hand how many times my parents have ever kissed in front of me, and every time was on the cheek. Â But their hugs are the most heartfelt youâll ever see. Â When they laugh together, you know thereâs a deep love between them. Â They truly are each otherâs best friends.
So congrats, Mom and Dad! Â For always being there for each other, for me and my brother, and for my husband and our friends. Â You are both amazing, wonderful people, and I am so glad that you found one another.
