Boomers' heads buried in the sand, if not participating.
Millennials still surprised.
Gen Z actually shocked.

Gen X? We Knew this was coming. We learned everything from 80s hair metal. Nothing shocks us. Maybe disappoints. Almost half a decade.
@queensryche #GenXFTW #GenX

Jan 6?
For a price I'd do about anything
Except pull the trigger
For that I'd need a pretty good cause
Then I heard of Dr. X
The man with the cure
Just watch the television
Yeah, you'll see there's something going on

Washington?
Got no love for politicians
Or that crazy scene in D.C.
It's just a power mad town
But the time is ripe for changes
There's a growing feeling
That taking a chance on a new kind of vision is due

New Health Advisories for 4 #PFAS announced today and they are VERY low
#PFOA: 4 parts per *quadrillion*
#PFOS: 20 parts per *quadrillion*
#GenX: 10 ppt
#PFBS: 2000 ppt

This is a huge deal

#ForeverChemicals | @ewg | ewg.org/news-insights/…

That means #PFAS are toxic in minuscule amounts. Ppq is a tiny, tiny unit of measurement. WA state explained in 2018, "Lay a penny on the ground and compare it — by area — to the entire state of Washington. That is equal to one part per quadrillion." ecology.wa.gov/Blog/Posts/Mar…

Wikipedia describes it another way:
One part per quadrillion (ppq) denotes one part per 1,000,000,000,000,000 (1015) parts, and a value of 10−15. This is equivalent to about two and a half minutes out of the age of the Earth (4.5 billion years) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parts-per…

#Xennials of the world unite!
Born between 1977-1983?
What cultural, social, tecnhological and political experiences that set our micro-generation (#GenY) apart from #GenX & #Millenials?
-most lit focuses on US but I'm interested in UK, Europe & CEE
theguardian.com/culture/2017/j…

I remember quite a bit about the politics of growing up in the UK at the time-I remember Thatcher & not having known anything before her. I remember Northern cities I grew up in & how it took ages to get them smartened up. But I also have some international political memories ...

The superpower summits for example ...

I know personally 3 people receiving monoclonal antibodies this evening. All have had 3 doses of #COVID19 #vaccine or prior infection + 2 doses of vaccine. All are careful. They all have risk factors, but all are pretty symptomatic. Jan is gonna be…rough. #MaskUp. #Omicron

Tweet 2: A lot of people seem to be panicking based on this anecdote. Panic is NOT productive. Instead you need to calmly plan & act to reduce your risk. These are some effective things you can do right now:
👉Upgrade your masks. No more cloth alone. Best is N95/KN95/KF94...

@projectn95

Tweet 3: As an alternative to N95/KN95/KF94, if you can't tolerate those or don't have them, I rec a surgical mask (ASTM level 3, 3-ply is great) w/ cloth mask over it. Read this: scientificamerican.com/article/why-we…. The non-profit @projectn95 has vetted, affordable PPE including masks.

I used to play in a creek/tunnel/ditch a mile away from my house. Where I would go, at age 9 or 10, and build dams and look at frog eggs. Also where I was accosted and/or chased, twice, by adult men. No convos with parents, this was all entirely normal. #GenX

https://twitter.com/bryanbehar/status/1412484732550488064

So many instances where we kids, solo or in groups, were flashed, jacked off at, whatever by men—including on elementary school grounds. There were no all-school emergency meetings or…anything.

I also started babysitting at age 10.

We took ourselves to and from school. We’d walk or bike miles to friends starting at least in my case in 4th grade. No cell phones, parents may have not even had each other’s numbers or even names.

What’s up, loves! My name is Rhonda Nicole and I’m a singer/songwriter and long-time Prince head. I’m absolutely over the moon to kick off this week’s special #PrinceTwitterThread all about @jilldjones and her incredible yet slept on self-titled Paisley Park debut.

@thenmaam

A little about me...Currently, I’m the director of social media for @thenmaam. Prior to that, I was the right hand to the Fly Jock, Tom Joyner and a freelance music journalist/managing editor of the dearly departed SoulTrain dot com.

I interviewed Jill Jones for my Soul Train Artist to Artist column to chat about her third solo album, ‘I Am,’ in Feb. 2016, just days before Denise Matthews (Vanity) passed and a couple months before Prince’s death.

A look at today's wide-ranging @pewscience report on #climatechange, #energy and #environment.
Partisan gaps continue to loom large, but survey goes deep on generations showing how #GenZ, #Millennials stand out for engagement on climate
@pewresearch 1/x
pewrsr.ch/2Svrbb3

Climate change is viewed as an issue that needs attention today and majorities view government, industry -- and even 'ordinary Americans' -- as doing 'too little' to help reduce its effects.
2/x

Americans continue to prioritize alternative energy development (like wind and solar) over fossil fuels, but public is roughly divided over phasing out gas-powered cars by 2035; opposes eliminating fossil fuels from energy picture altogether

Police claim “unlawful assembly” after killing 20 year old young black man, with his mom on the phone and his girlfriend beside him as they drove to visit his older brother and see his new home. Here is the PDF from the @aclu_mn re: protests. #BlackLivesMatter

Minneapolis police knew, or should have known, the killing of a young black man stopped in his vehicle, will result in protests. The police should have been prepared for protests and de-escalated it. Journalists have been reporting that police officers are quitting the “force”

because of fear of danger after the George Floyd trial outcome. Therefore, they knew of the repercussions of killing, wrongfully, a young black man. #EnoughIsEnough #StopSystemicRacism

Generation Squeeze

@GenSqueeze

WTF is "The Squeeze"???

A thread...

Younger generations (#millennials, #GenX, #GenZ 👋) are working and studying harder, while being hit with higher costs, expenses and lower income than ever before.

This is a 360 degree squeeze!

Now the data can do the talking

When adjusting for inflation, people in their 20s and 30s are making LESS 📉 today than people were in the 1970s.

😲🤯😲

@Swoopy

You know why #GenX is tired? Our whole damn lives we’ve been watching Democrats come to power, create prosperity, try to advance social justice & human rights. Then the GOP comes to power and destroys it. We’ve spent our whole lives trying to claw back. And we’ve gotten nowhere.

I’m 47. I’ve needed the protections of Roe in my lifetime. I needed the ACA, I need protections for LGBTQIIA Americans. It’s been in my grasp and taken away. While wages haven’t moved. I’ve retrained for jobs over and over. I’ve accumulated no wealth. The future is uncertain.

I’ve paid into Social Security my whole life, knowing it probably won’t be there for me. I live in fear of a health set back that will destroy my small nest egg. I have an aging parent, and many my age have that and school age children. Every 10 years a recession, & endless wars.
