Can you help me understand whether that child is actually shaving her father’s back in that gif? Is that real?

Yeah makes sense. But I still feel like certain bands/artists just get adopted into the next generation as their own, and “dad” and “mom” rock are more used for artists that are kept at arm’s length. For example I’m 31 and I would never have thought of Bowie as parent rock. ‘Parent rock’ to me when I was in my early…

Right? These are the problem-solving skills of our future president.

I can understand your feeling on this, but you have to understand why they would choose to leave, right?

True but also people without resources likely can’t pursue agonizing court battles - they’re expensive and time consuming and civil legal services are hard to come by if you can’t pay for them and they’re unlikely to result in a large cash payout.

I know you’re joking but also in all seriousness lets just stop venerating youth culture above all else and try to enjoy life without being dicks for no reason!

That’s also true for people with disabilities, which is ultra shitty because those people are at elevated risks for being abused/victims of violence and have the hardest time finding shelter.

Really, really true. Kids are amazing and if they can get half a chance they’ll make it. Working there gave me a whole new perspective on what human beings can overcome, and recover from. We as adults could just do a much better job of giving all of them a real chance to thrive. It’s basically our whole job and we’re…

Yeah, I have really mostly enjoyed every stage of my life so far, so my plan is to just try to keep doing that. One thing I really hope we millennials can collectively do is resolve not to try to shame the next generations as they enter the workplace/adulthood. It’s definitely not new to our generation but the…

You’re so welcome. I had a ton of fun in my 20s but it’s also a really stressful time so I try to be really nice to people in the throes.

You REALLY misread my comment. I did not say these kids are privileged and my point was just the opposite. Perhaps you’re replying to the wrong comment?

I’ve worked in a family shelter. Lots and lots of children live in shelters because our country refuses to adopt policies that support families, children, the working class in general.

Greetings young person! (JK, I’m not actually that old.) While your and your friends’ fandom may lend the band the relevance that comes with an early 20s following, radiohead gestated into their current status with my cohort and those slightly older than I am. They’re for all of us but they were ours first so I still…

Throw a convention for the republican party?

This sucks because it demonstrates how thoroughly our culture legitimizes, perpetuates and celebrates hegemonic, white supremacist, ableist, heterosexist beauty standards.

I mean I think it becomes a mom/dad band when the main cohort of fans become moms/dads? So maybe mom band has a different connotation for you than me.

Top notch gif.

I feel like since journalism reports on politics now through the lens of “optics” we’re becoming dangerously obedient to media in terms of reacting to things as we’re told we’ll react to them. Instead, can we hold ourselves to a higher standard of reasonableness than modern journalism projects onto us?

Radiohead is a mom band now. No shade - moms are cool - but it’s real.
