Listen. I was born in 1995. Which Google tells me mean I am a Zillenial. And I feel that. Part of me is right there with Millennials: too damn exhausted. I firmly believe I have seen too much for one life and would really like to live through some less interesting times. I am also right there with GenZ, though. Nothing matters and nobody is going to be happy anyway, so we might as well be our authentic selves and fight for every human to have dignity and basic resources met. This system is broken and it’s hurting people a whole awful lot. Burn it all to the ground and let’s build something better.
Being this age at this point in history is terrible. Or maybe just being me at this point in history is terrible. I am queer, nonbinary, mentally ill and running amuck with ADHD. I live in the USA, where everything is constantly threatening to get worse. I’m confused and terrified all of the time.
And of course, the clear way to deal with this all is to post about it on the internet. This boat might be sinking, but we are going to shitpost all the way to the bottom of the ocean. We can live tweet our doom even as Elon ruins something that we already thought was terrible. All the while just hoping to a god we don’t believe in anymore that GenZ can just save us all from Fascism.
Won’t you come along with me?
