welp

I'm not saying what zoomers are experiencing is somehow unique, but there are aspects of it that are somewhat unprecedented. ecological collapse on a massive scale is pretty much guaranteed at this point in a way it never was. in the past, wide scale problems like the hole in the ozone layer were adequately addressed, but that's not happening with climate change. at best, we might get really lucky and see regulations that lesson the worst of the ecological collapse, but that's supposing a drastic change in how things are done. zoomers aren't facing anything new, but they're far more likely to see what will probably be the worst ecological collapse in human history than we are, and gen alpha even more so. I'm not trying to say that what the zoomers are facing is the worst thing ever, though it is likely to get way worse in their lifetime, more so for them than for you or I. I'm just saying we really shouldn't be surprised at their dark humor or that they're making jokes about 911. you're right about things previous generations faced, though, and i hope i didn't come of as dismissive of those experiences. I'm also glad you pointed out how much more magnified the grim reality is, along with dark humor as a coping mechanism. i do think it's a good idea for older generations to try and empathize with zoomers a bit, though. I think it's good to try and break the trend of dismissing younger generations or the things they face. it was bullshit when older generations did it to us, and i don't want to fall into that trap of thinking I'm somehow better and immune to that. (and yeah, I'm part Latina lol)

exactly my point. Zoomers have to deal with all kinds of messed up shit that other generations didn't

I'm gonna keep transitioning, and maybe also jump out of a plane (my dad and sister plan to go skydiving and i want to join them) a name change is also something i want for 2024, but i haven't started researching that yet

considering if i want to get drunk or not and idk. i thought i was gonna sleep through new years eve honestly, i was pretty tired what should i do for new years eve?

also the generation that watched the world let an equivalent amount of people die every day during the height of the pandemic, when they were supposed to be coming of age. there's also the whole planet being made unlivable by climate change in their lifetime thing. and living in an increasingly shitty capitalist dystopia. it's really not surprising that they have a dark and difficult to understand sense of humor. given everything

zoomers have been making 911 jokes since they started learning about it in history class honestly

Bottle Lightning Twice - Sincere Engineer i love this song so much

Twin Size Mattress - The Front Bottoms

I'm a switch, I'll do both

I am having an amazing time with my family. just getting to be the aunt is so freaking cool. my niece calls me by my name and uses she/her, without even thinking about it, and she's 3. and she's so smart and sweet. its also nice to see everyone else. catching up has been great. I'm having so much fun just spending time with my sister, and I'll get to spend more time with my dad and the step family tomorrow too

my family had weed and we played Scrabble, which was a pretty awesome present. i also got a gift card which is neat, but spending time with everyone was the best part
