Hubby and I are having a Gen X disagreement. Which movie is more iconic for a Gen X male? 1. Jaws 2. Halloween 3. Smokey and the Bandit

Been off social media for a bit for my own sanity. Gen X oldest daughters- how are you? (I copied this question from @anureet.is on threads because it resonated with me today!- so thank you anureet!) I’m coping with the crazy out of control feelings, but just barely!

So, MAGA, remind me, when did Trump prove he’s the big, tough strong man? Was it when he bragged he’d end the war in Ukraine in 24 hour and then didn’t? Or when he rolled out the red carpet for a war criminal with an active arrest warrant and clapped like a fanboy? Or is it this pathetic display?

I’ve seen a lot of posts about the racist white lady raising money off of her interaction with a 5 year old black child. Obviously- disgusting and I just can’t with these people right now! If you can- donate to the actual victim. 💕

It’s really been something how they’ve gone from it was an administrative error, to we’ll try to bring him back but need more time, to nevermind we’re not bringing him back, we can’t bring him back, he’s vlad the impaler reincarnated & he might give Stephen Miller ideas so we have to keep them apart

Email reply from my doctor about whether I should get the MMR vaccine: “I was planning to send an email out this weekend.  It’s not a bad idea for you to get the vaccine, although you likely still have good immunity.  What a shitshow, can't believe this is happening.”

My mother was just diagnosed with Stage 4 Alzheimer’s. I’m so enraged about this and terrified that her social security benefits will be cut or disappear. Finding the right treatment and being able to afford quality care feels so out of reach. Please keep fighting! Call, March, whatever you can do!

I feeling like I’m yelling into a void in Texas, but I keep calling my reps to let them know how disgusting this all is. I have been using an app “5 Calls” and it makes it so easy! Connects you and gives a script. Great way to pass the time sitting in the car line when picking up my son.
