90 Seconds, Still

By Steph

It just hit me that most of the people in charge of The Entire World and all the things we’ve created that could wipe out The Entire World and everyone and everything?

Um, those people are at least as old as I am, so that means older than THE INTERNET. That means hot flashes AND having a period. THESE PEOPLE USED TO PADDLE US WITH WOODEN PADDLES, ANYTIME, ANYPLACE. They didn’t even have to be your parents!

Omg, like, HELLO GENX, I know most of us just got out of prison (#warondrugs I mean fathers) but do you see who we’ve let run this shitshow? And now look. (Or don’t look. it’s depressing and we’ve all got shit mental health and 12 autoimmune diseases.)

I don’t know the rest of the letters, but I need to know how close we are to starting over at letter A. TELL ME! Has the A GENERATION been prepping for this or what?

WHILE I’M YELLING, THE X was a one-off that we EARNED, very disappointed in whoever did the Y, Z nonsense, but then again, it IS alphabetical, and I still don’t know the order so this message could be from the Ambien I forgot I took and the pot I smoked right before I had this epiphany.

*THIS POST MAY NOT BE TAKEN AS AN ADMISSION OF GUILT BY ANY PARTIES, LET ALONE GENX, FOR FS LEAVE US ALONE. A lot of us are still on probation from that time we caught 3 felonies for a fucking blunt roach and a one-hitter.

Wow, your perspective on the generations in charge is both funny and thought-provoking! Let’s hope for positive changes ahead.

  Thank you! I’m trying to stop “censoring” myself – I’m glad someone got it!

As a Baby Boomer, I earned the right to play the ‘holier than thou’ card just because I’m now ‘old’, but still not as old as many of ‘them’. I just wish those meany ‘memes’ would not generalize when they say that the Boomers should just die already so that your generation could take over. But I think Gen X isn’t too far behind us on the age disdain scale. I just wonder if whoever is beyond that can read the actual Constitution (cursive) without google’s help. (Harrumph!)

  Those ARE mean! I’ve been stuck inside too long-this is what happens. They’ll ask G and AI will tell them what it thinks the Constitution should say; that sounds like the plot of a horror story.
