hello

Maybe this is the wrong platform to pose this question given the average tumblr user but

Is it just me or did our generation (those of is who are currently 20-30 ish) just not get the opportunity to be young in the 'standard' sense?

Like, everyone I talk to who's over 40 has all their wild stories about their teens and 20s, being young and dumb, and then I talk to my friends and coworkers and classmates, and we just... dont.

My mom tells stories of skipping school to sneak across the border and spend the day at a bar in Mexico. I was threatened with not being allowed to graduate because of senior ditch day. One of my friends had to go to his first hour class on senior ditch day because the teacher, who almost exclusively taught seniors, arranged a huge exam that day with no available makeup days, specifically to punish kids who took part in ditch day. Our wild and crazy ditch day was playing mini golf and then stopping for ice cream on our way back to one of our friends' houses to play cards against humanity.

Don't get me wrong, we had fun. But all of that, threats of not graduating, threats of failing classes over a single test, over some mini golf and ice cream?

Throughout high school and early in college, my friend group got kicked out of malls, stores, and even a parking lot just for being there wrong. Not being loud of disruptive. Not causing problems. Just being there too long, or without buying anything.

My mom graduated high school, after repeating her senior year, without a single grade above a D, and was offered a full ride scholarship to a state university to play on their women's football team. I had a 3.8 GPA, multiple extracurriculars, a summer job, and over 100 hours of volunteer work, and barely got into that same university, and then couldn't afford to go there anyway.

We've made getting into college so important and yet so difficult that kids are sacrificing their childhoods for it.

Then they become adults and it doesn't go away. Your employer/ potential employers are searching your social media and internet presence so you'd better hope no one has ever posted a picture of you at a party, or with alcohol, or wearing revealing clothes, or whatever else they've deemed unprofessional. And if you want to go out it's a 10 dollar cover and drinks are at least 8 dollars, and you need to tip if there's any kind of live entertainment, who can afford to do all that regularly?

My physical therapist, when I was 18, told me about his 21st birthday, how the last thing he remembers is people taking body shots off him. I spent my 21st birthday alone, was in bed by 10pm because I had to be at work the next morning. My boss had already told me that they knew it was my 21st, and if I called out, she'd write me up for improper use of sick leave because you're not allowed to use sick leave for a hangover. I don't know anyone whose 21st birthday was a big deal. No one went out and partied for it.

I dont really know where I'm going with all of this. I guess I just don't understand the point of it all. We spend our youth working hard to provide a future that we still can't afford. We have to be responsible and professional as teenagers. And we get nothing out of it. We can't afford life or friends or fun. At least our parents got to have fun being young and dumb, we just got groomed on kik.

So I'm not the only one noticing this. I wish I had an answer or at least something to say about it. But I dont. I'm just tired.

this is the most annoying shit to me bc it's like...okay so a woman president will be as imperialist as a male president...so what do we do now with that info. only elect male presidents? is this the hot feminist take

Some of y’all need to hear this

look. fungus can be pretty bad in your house, both structurally and in terms of the inherent health effects of having a living organism have sex on your walls and then release the resulting millions of spores into a confined space. but like. if you have three admirably large shelf-like mushrooms sprouting from the base of the wall in your living room, and they create a spore print so large it billows out a good couple feet….. idk man that might just be theirs now

i dont blame the person living here because these guys can come up pretty quickly and it’s possible they just didnt see it, especially because the area around it seems otherwise free of clues suggesting their mighty presence, but like….at what point do you just accept their annexation….how big does a newly-emerged mushroom have to be to claim squatters’ rights on a stretch of drywall

How the fuck did berkeley’s polypore grow in this house????

Looking it up BP is a hardwood fungus so it might be coming from the floor. Whatever it is, it busted such a fat fungal nut that it’s impossible to tell if that’s hardwood or tile

you dont get “fat fungal nut” anywhere else but tumblr

Gotta love mathematicians for never being able to name concepts normally

did you know that the creator of the trans flag is an old pervert who used to steal his mom's underwear and write erotic stories about kids who never age? I think it's also interesting that the symbols what p*dophiles use online have the exact same colors and meaning as the trans flag does - blue, pink and white. blue for boys and pink for girls.

You’re grasping at straws. “The p*dophiles communicate using pink and blue symbols, colors traditionally gendered to indicate men and women! Trans people also use these colors in their flag, because being trans is inherently related to your sex!”

Also just because the creator of the trans flag was a creep doesn’t mean all trans people are creeps?

He literally designed the flag with pink = baby girls and blue = baby boys in mind.

The creator of the trans flag being a pedophile says nothing about the trans community but JKR's tweets saying "I'd march with you but being female has shaped my life" in 2020 made all of Harry Potter completely irredeemable and anyone who even slightly agrees with her is a fascist.

Fuck these people.

via More Than Just A Flag by Monica Helms, the creator of the trans flag:“I went into my parents’ bedroom and looked through my mother’s dresser drawers. I found several of my mother’s cotton panties and bras, nearly stacked in piles. The ‘Girl in the Shadows’ wanted to try them on. I wanted to try them on. When I did, they felt exciting to wear.”

“I would spend hours looking at the girls at school. I studied them more and more, with my study slowly evolving into lust.“

“Images of the days when I tried on my mother’s underwear came back to me, pulling primordial feelings with them… the obsession of losing my virginity had filled my every waking moment… Up until this point, my sexual desire for a first encounter had pushed every other fantasy of mine onto the back burner. As I stood watching the bra swirl around in the dryer, I sensed a growing desire to dress as a woman and to see the hidden woman within me… The feelings I had, dressed as a woman, ran the gamut of human emotions. Sexual excitement topped the list of what came over me while wearing woman’s clothes.”

“She pulled out a corset from her dresser and helped me put it on. It gave me a wonderful hourglass figure. When I looked at my image in the mirror, I couldn’t help but be turned on.”

“At 46, I had entered my second puberty and acted the part. I would experiment with styles of clothing that weren’t appropriate for my age. More than once, a supervisor would call me into their office for wearing dresses cut too short.”
