Solid. Love it.
@achronicvoice.com maps "parts work" clean and clear.
#LatchKeyKid translation:
"Angry girl protector" = GI Joe Kung-fu grip that mastered taking bullets
"Inner child" = body remembering safety before the white-knuckle default
"Adult self" = finally stepping off the X
Another thing Gen X was a grand champion at @caffeineislife.bsky.social was depressive music. Guess we found out what happened when you made your 9-year-old cook his own dinner LOL #latchkeykid

In this fantasy sure. But fr, my parents never had a single adult conversation with me nor did they ever share advice or “feelings” #latchkeykid
I learned how to please a woman, by listening and paying attention to women.
A social media post with a vintage photo of people roller skating. The post text says "Yall got $5?! I really was ghetto. 😂". The meme text overlay says "OUR PARENTS WOULD GIVE US $5" and "DROP US OFF AND JUST LEAVE US ALL NIGHT".
Being one of the "poor" kids I had to figure out how to sneak into places and make my own fun.

Gen X should have taken over by now, but the truth is that many of us learned to survive on our own and live like that now. We're the survivor champs. 😂 #LatchkeyKid

It was our main source of heating when I was a child. In fact, my parents didn't get central heating until after I had left home in the 1970s. I often had to light the fire if there was no-one in when I got home from school. #LatchKeyKid

This is where I'm from. Incredibly grateful to come into this world when I did and WHERE I did. #GenX #LatchkeyKid #Feral #Mainer #downeast - thanks to Machias's Drones Eye View (I need you on BlueSky, Ryan!) for the heart-tugging reminder of the place that made me.

Scribe figured "All the Children" was inspired by Synanon, but other things too
The song mirrors Scribe's (and many others) childhood experience of the "casual neglect" culture so prevalent in the 70s & 80s
We were let down
They rarely came around
We lived our #LatchkeyKid life underground

Scolded to hide my truth 4 survival.
I paid to tell my truth to professionals 4 a chance to discover the normal setting. It was all mostly male theory. Left on a quest to find experience #badgirlwisdom

My mom was Libra girly AF N hard as steel. From the age of 16 she was on her own. First gen East LA chicana. She told me never let them see how much they hurt you. This was also survival #badgirlwisdom

I can’t be the only #80’s child \ #latchkeykid hearing it at high volume in my head
Gutted … I was that kid that ran home to see this and she-ra … #80’s #He-man #latchkeykid #nerd #geek #mastersoftheuniverse #SheRa
Having watched way too much #scifi as a #genx #latchkeykid, I always thought these beauties belong in a #drwho episode.

So weird I just said "Maximilian" I guess it's way buried in my memory banks from The Black Hole @ultradamno.bsky.social I'm diving in Imma watch this bad boy. I think we had a story book vinyl record as kids. #Disney #1970sCinema #TheBlackHole #Latchkeykid #cinema #sci-fi #space #aesthetic
What was your favorite afterschool snack?
Mine was a jelly jelly sandwich and 2 sliced oranges! I really thought I was a big kid cutting up oranges by myself at 7. #latchkeykid
I wasn’t sure I still had this after almost 40 years but… And yes, I did heat it up on the stove when I was about 12 #latchkeykid How I got it I don’t even remember
From a fellow GenX - #LatchkeyKid, they're both adults so they can do what they want. As an adult now, I would be worrying about both.
Literally raised ourselves #latchkeykid
