When I started reading recently the young Gen Zers and Gen Alphas asking their parents for Walkmans and DVD players and record players. The two most digitally native generations ever?

I knew we had finally reached overreach from tech companies

Folks are just over being a product/data play 🤷🏾‍♀️

So, my husband had been avoiding buying new ink for our printer for the longest time (it’s highway robbery for new cartridges)… so long as I could print in B&W

He decided to buy new printer cause cheaper… but then he saw new printers featuring AI and login codes..

Ordered new toner that day 🥴😆

I’m sorry wait… what? Are we sure this isn’t for literally anyone else but her?

Because the Governor gave a statement centering her and not mentioning him at all…

Same. Zero sympathy

The way I have seen people who I supposedly share similar politics to, commemorate Cerina’s husband on social media, as if he died in a car crash.

Whew.

Want to co-sign this, as someone who worked at a DV organization and volunteered myself.

And a person with mental health issues, is more likely to harm themselves before they are harm others the percentages are that low…

*Deep sigh in growing up Black in Virginia*

The U.S. Bishops: *taps mic*

“Shut up JD you are out of your depth”

Oh I was so annoyed, like how did I go from dewy to dust like rapidly?! 😂

Adding Hyaluronic acid after you shower and layering on lotion has really helped

Why do I not even need to see names mentioned to know who this is about? 🥴

And about damn time….

And I love a good whiskey sour so…. This is right up my alley!

Hmm, growing up in an economic boom time with lots of conservative Presidents, (not realizing the strong social safety nets they benefited from was because of liberal Presidents) and the power of right wing conservative backlash to progressive ideas was ascendant in the late 60s and early 70s

Sent this to my Gen X husband in the other room (who is on the younger side of the Gen Xer generation mind you)

One of the impacts from Reaganism: Generation X’s conservatism

Honestly the name of that book (which I know is a Musk quote), makes me viscerally angry

Oh wow, Swalwell resigned from Congress!!

In these cynical times, I am happy when shame does work

The Trump WH is not sending their best
