So many people looking at the United States are overlooking __gerontocracy__, which would help them understand things. The Baby Boomer generation was __HUGE__ (numerically) and they have clung to power with a fierce tenacity. Their own children be damned.
If you've lived a life - as not a Baby Boomer - in "rust belt" America, this all makes sense. One never loses that sense of living in one's parent's basement, as that parent descends into dementia. #America #uspol #UnitedStates #GenX
Same pyramid, different decade. Weโre still waiting for the "trickle" while the top gets a fountain. "Where Were At" is the soundtrack for the rest of us.

Still sick. Still miserable. Coldโs been squatting in my body since Saturday like it found a good neighborhood. Headโs clogged, throatโs wrecked, energy level is dial-up internet. Medicine does nothing, sleep is a rumor, and Iโm running entirely on spite and caffeine. This is not a vibe. I would like a refund on this week.
#GenX Had this on VHS and my brother and I must have watched it at LEAST a thousand times ๐
Wanna feel old?

Dear #GenX, psst, donโt tell the others, but, dayum:
How #GenX are you? Part 143
Time to breakout the joysticks, tune the TV to channel 3, and fire up the trusty video game console.
Select all that apply.

I have been hard at work creating sticker designs this weekend. I got some advice from a VERY online lady who does a lot of business locally. Her social media game is strong on Instagram and she has a booming booth in a consignment arts and crafts store. So I'm hoping to be in the design and wholesale trade soon.
Then, as one does, I did a detour through YouTube, took a couple screenshots for reference and worked up this t-shirt for all us old #GenX and #NewWave fans. #ThomasDolby
Starship Troopers broke my brain in high school so of course I wrote a spicy book rant. https://inkican.com/everything-i-hated-about-starship-troopers-scifi-robert-heinlein-science-fiction-book-review #scifi #bookreview #GenX

It feels strange to not be able to participate in all these technology switching activities. But I/we (we = family) never used WhatsApp, never had any streaming service (not for film, not for music), no Chrome or Edge, no password manager, etc
I must use MS things at work, but am one of the very few employees who not use the web applications, have autosave turned off, and insist on using the legacy version of software as long as possible
Is this a #GenX thing, #OldSchool, or am I just weird?
Very much enjoying the grunge classics during the #SeattleSeahawks game. #NFL #GenX
Dear Gen X: Please go get tested for measles immunity. Every single one of my friends who was tested at various points in their life (started working at a hospital, went back to school, etc) found they had no immunity. I just found out myself, and it's probably been like that for a long time. I got a shot a few days ago.
Edit: or skip the titer testing and just go straight to getting the shots, as it is apparently safe to do so. Thanks to those who pointed that out!
