I’m astonished by the ability of my fellow humans to forget the events we all just lived through. Folks remember the masks and the remote school. The million US dead are rarely mentioned. Folks, we lived through a plague.

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.

An image showing the colorful transparent plastic of various pieces of technology of the 90's and early 2000s, that were easily the popular choice of the millennial age bracket. Some of the tech is an iMac, Nintendo 64, Sega DreMcast, a PlayStation 2, a Gameboy color and Advance, and CD player.

No fuck off we're not calling this "Millennial grey" this shit was dictated completely by boomer retiree house flippers we absolutely had NO say in this

Millennial grey From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A kitchen with beige grey floors, drab walls, brushed steel appliances, and grey granite countertops. Grey floors and furnishings are said to appeal to Millennial tastes. Millennial grey refers to a desaturated colour scheme that is said to appeal to the interior design sensibilities of the Millennial Generation in the early 21st century.[1] Cultural historian Kassia St. Clair attributed its widespread adoption to a desire among Millennials for "a flexible, sensible choice that will last years, hide any stains, and can be adapted to different schemes."[1] Some have diagnosed Millennial grey as a reaction to the warm hues of the late 20th century.[2] Millennial grey is polarising, particularly when used with imitation-wood-texture sheet vinyl flooring, which many describe as depressing, soulless, or corporate.[3][4] Although attributed to Millennials, the grey colour scheme is often chosen by house flippers, vacation rental owners, or other people who do not actually live in the greyed properties.[3] Thus, the occupant of the property—Millennial or not—has little say in its colour scheme, particularly when deployed for fixtures such as flooring.[4] The greying may have been driven, in part, by a desire to prepare properties for sale in a manner thought to be least offensive to the average buyer.[5] Given the housing crises gripping many countries in the early to mid-21st century, buyers and renters may feel they have no choice but to accept a property decked in Millennial grey.[4] To the extent that Millennial grey is said to be enjoyed by Millennials, it is also said to be loathed by Generation Z.[1][2]

It is a critical failure of the left that the explosive diarrhea parasite outbreak has not already been branded "The RFK Runs" or "The MAHA Squirts" or "The Trump Trots" or something along those lines. "Oh, man, I can't go because I got a bad case of J.D. Pants."

the most relatable Austen heroine is chaotic goth weirdo Catherine Morland who reads so many trashy horror novels that she scares herself into imagining they’re real, and it’s simply unacceptable that we haven’t gotten a modern take where she’s like a true crime podcast or vampire fanfic girlie

Tomorrow is my last day of teaching Jane Austen so I'm soliciting Austen hot takes to share with my students! Lay it on me.

Now-annual reminder that if you're at ALA and someone you don't know begins asking you weird questions about book bans and censorship...and they're wearing glasses...they may, in fact, be recording you.
