you know how some news breeds similar news? Kind of like how all of a sudden the earth was collapsing in on itself during all the sink holes. Well around this time my small town went into an uproar because someone thought they found a severed penis at a car wash.

I didn’t know she was 22 at the time either. For some reason I always thought she was in her mid-30s or early 40s, which in my young mind at the time seemed old enough to cut off somebody’s wiener.

22! I forgot (never realized?) how young she was. I’m also not sure if I ever knew she was an immigrant, and how that was weaponized against her - so much vulnerability. My heart aches for her.

I was still in elementary school when this happened, so the only memories I have of it from the time are those of the jokes and punchlines, of a woman so crazy to have done something like this. And that’s all I really understood of it well into my adulthood.

This surprises...no one.

I want to keep this vague because my sister has been employed in the fashion industry for decades in NY and I don’t want her to be identified by anyone she has worked with over the years. Since she has been a moderately successful worker bee in many exclusive fashion houses she has had the opportunity to interact…

Laxatives. It’s always laxatives.

Goddamn, Trump’s strategy is just so bad lately. He’s probably got one good shot to declare an Emergency and act like a King, and he’s wasting it on the fucking wall? It’s not popular, it’s gonna piss off a ton of Texans and Arizonans that otherwise like him, and it sets a terrible, terrible precedent that a future…

I can barely restrain myself from just flipping off my computer screen when I see the daily Trump tweets. What a fucking hypocritical piece of shit with that Parkland tweet.

This part blew my mind:

Which intern posted that Parkland tweet? 

The Kansas attempt at doing away with gay marriage is utterly comical. I quite liked the bill’s sponsors quote:

All I can think after reading your reply is how lucky your students are to have you. Truly, as a person who straddles Gen X and Boomer, I look at you all and am so proud of you all, how resilient you are and how tolerant and cognizant, mature and caring. And let me say something about the antidepressants; I was loathe…

The climate is a slow-motion apocalypse, the president is an unalloyed dolt, the olds have kept all the money and influence for themselves, everyone is becoming intensely and continuously aware of multiple personal traumas and agonies about identities, and job prospects aren’t anything exciting unless you love the…

100% agree. I’m right on the boarder between gen-z and millennials (recently 22) but my younger sister is 18 and firmly in the gen-z camp and we talk about this stuff a lot. We joke and make snide comments because its all way to scary and pressing to look at face value.

Thank you. As the parent of a Gen Z teen, they’re worried about dying at school, living through climate change and and what antidepressant to take.

I left stores on multiple occasions, just so I didn't have to listen to another moment of that flaming pile of garbage. I can't think of another song that made me hate it that viscerally, so I am inclined to agree.

Yes! I was in high school when Columbine happened. And it was a tragedy that didn’t seem real. Things like that weren’t supposed to happen to teenagers in their own school. It burst the bubble of innocence we enjoyed, collectively as a generation.

Skip to this new generation of teens. School shootings don’t seem like…

On the almost 1 year anniversary of Parkland, I can’t help but think that teens are obsessed with death because people keep killing them. 

I, for one, welcome these Soft Bois. As long as I never, ever have to hear Shut Up and Dance With Me ever again.
