but like I don’t think Gen Z realizes just how homophobic people were even like 15 years ago. Like I specifically remember in ‘08 Obama having to say he doesn’t support gay marriage because he’d lose votes from DEMOCRATS.
Oh wow yall really don’t know about the constant fat shaming of the 00s that gave every millennial an eating disorder. This type of shit… was literally everywhere.
screaming at how the girl who got kicked off the team for being a fat cheerleader in bring it on: all or nothing was like 5 lbs heavier than the other girls and its all in her ass
there might’ve been a few who were secretly out to close friends in HS, but nobody was OUT out. And even after coming out back then it was still *kind of* on the DL bc you didn’t know who was/wasn’t “ok” with gay ppl.
Lol ok to the older Gen Z’ers responding to this saying they remember, I apologize for not being clear that I wasn’t speaking about you. And yes obvs there is still homophobia/transphobia, but the point is it has been WILD to see the extreme shift within our teen-adult lifetimes
Neurotypical on adderall: *writes a 30 page paper overnight*
ADHDer on adderall: *finally does the dishes that have been piling up in the sink for a month*
fr tho no need for y’all baby queers to get mad abt this anecdotal thread. there’s obvs still a ways to go & I didn’t say you don’t face oppression. But just like I don’t personally know what it was like to live thru the AIDS crisis, y’all don’t REALLY know what I’m talking abt
I’m literally jealous of y’all. That’s the whole point lololol. I WISH I had your online queer spaces, let alone irl ones. I WISH I knew another openly queer person before I was 19. I WISH I had the queer media representation y’all do.
And as someone who has worked in middle/high schools pretty much since I left high school in 2006, I have a pretty good grasp on how quickly and significantly that shift happened.
US friends, from watching the news we Canadians now know not only the names of all of your states, but half your counties and, heck, even your suburbs.
Can you name -- without Googling -- Canada's 13 provinces & territories?

FYI when ppl are rambling about their own experiences in a limited character format they might not always be that specific & instead of getting mad about it, idk, use context clues to figure it out. It’s so disingenuous and I’m tired.
The reason I said “I don’t think gen z realizes…” is bc it was a passing thought inspired by the high schoolers I work with who ARE gen Z who DONT remember the 00s. Idk how much clearer I can be abt this statement and how it’s prob NOT about you. Like I— please leave me alone.
Yikes y’all are exhausting. You can’t even make a statement abt your experiences (& many others who share the same experience) on this app w/o having to turn it into a threaded dissertation clarifying yourself bc you didn’t specify/include every single group/issue in the anecdote
And don’t get me started on the increased anti-trans bigotry. Like I obviously am aware of that??? But I was talking about the 2000s and the point there is transgender wasn’t even a thing people knew they could be back then! It like wasn’t even a thing outside of maybe NYC???
OF COURSE there is increased transphobia now. Because we have the language now! And people are becoming more aware of trans people! You have more representation! Which unfortunately leads to more bigotry but eventually hopefully more rights- as was the course for cis queer ppl!
@21metgala
People talking about his outfit but like… that’s exactly what I would wear to Krispy Kreme. Why is she dressed like THAT to go to KRISPY KREME?
You know how “California sober” means you don’t drink but you still do weed? I just saw a tiktok that said “Midwest sober” means you’re an alcoholic but you don’t have any DUIs 🤣
taylor lautner is the nice boy you dated who was totally in love with you and actually treated you well that you dumped because he didn’t give you the “butterflies” that fuckboys gave you before you knew those weren’t butterflies they were a trauma bond
saw a tiktok of taylor lautner on a podcast saying he wishes he could go back to the 2009 vmas to the moment when kanye stepped on stage and took the mic from taylor and this is why he continues to be the ex we like bc he still cares and respects her even after all this time
“He cheated on me because I gained weight.”
Girl, no. He cheated on you and used the fact that you gained some weight to justify it and deflect the blame onto you because he is a shitty person who can’t take accountability for his own actions.
For pride month this year I would like everyone to leave us bi women and our gotdamn golden retriever boyfriends alone. Like we could’ve ended up with a woman but it turns out yall suck too and I think that hurts your feelings or something idk.
I’m working an overnight shift tonight because time & a half duh and I (half) jokingly told this damn boy to come to my work & give me a NYE kiss & his ass was in the car for 10 hours today driving home from South Dakota AND HE DID. HE CAME HERE. WHERE DID THIS MAN COME FROM.
Ppl have been SO INSUFFERABLE to her over the last several weeks while she has been tweeting about the process of leaving her abusive fiancé. “JUST GET OUT NOW!” “JUST LEAVE!” Like do yall not know the extensive planning it actually takes to safely leave a DV situation?????
Reminding myself that I should NOT feel bad for leaving just because he’s acting decent in the moment. The time for change was months ago, not a last ditch half assed effort when he can see how detached I am. But it’s still hard to squish that part of me that wants to believe it.
there are people who have paid on their student debt for DECADES and wound up owing MORE. the loans are so predatory that they are meant to never be paid back. even federal loan interest rates are astronomically high. it’s a joke.
Alright I’m gonna say it... people who shame people for needing to re-home pets because they can’t take care of them anymore for whatever reason need to chill the fuck out. You have no idea what someone might be going through and how hard that decision probably is for them.
My high school crush just popped up on my tinder which means he’s home for thanksgiving which means this is my chance to bang him for my 16-year-old self
All these black girls wanna be Barbie’s when they know damn well wasn’t no black Barbie dolls growing up , y’all just hop on trends and blindly run w it
That’s me batting. I thought I was *SO*
fat because I was a size 10 and like 150-160 lbs. Nobody told me the fact that I was 5’8 & muscular bc I played sports year round had an effect, I just saw the numbers and the media telling me I was supposed to be like 115 and a size 2 🤦♀️
It’s funny how your career aspirations change. Like when you’re 5 you want to be an astronaut brain surgeon but now you just want to be able to afford rent and food in the same month.
This is what the scary gender neutral bathrooms look like at the schools I work at. Private, locking, floor-to-ceiling stalls. Sinks in open, easier to monitor areas. So terrifying. Nightmare inducing. Cant believe they put kids through this absolute horror. 🙄
I worked retail for 6 years. I can fold a shirt like that in 1/4 the time with my bare hands while being yelled at by a lady named Linda with a fake tan and Kate Gosselin haircut.
I have a friend who’s 35 & just found out she’s pregnant. It was an accident. They have two young kids (3 & 5) & they didn’t want any more. And now she’s a “geriatric” pregnancy. And I was like “you know you can still get an abobo” & she was like “yeah I thought about it”
This dude I’m talking to from bumble right now.... I can’t even make this shit up... wants me to fuck his friend and record it for him to watch, but he can’t meet me first because then we’d be “dating” and that would be cheating on him...
EXCUSE ME WHAT
Apparently my bf of 3.5 years whomst I live with suddenly “doesn’t believe in marriage” and says he’ll marry me “after we retire” when before we’d joke about getting married and there were never signs it was off the table and now I’m having a full on crisis.
The fact that a lot of you were in middle school when I was in college makes me realize we probably have very different memories associated with the song TiK ToK by Kesha
I’m wearing a thong for the first time in like 10 years (lol seriously) and I’m trying to decide if I can deal with the perpetual wedgie or not. HOW DID I USED TO WEAR THESE ALL THE TIME?! TEAM GRANNY PANTIES 😂
Places that don’t let you book appointments online are bogus af. I don’t want to have to CALL and talk to an actual PERSON. I’m a millennial that shit gives me anxiety
So I pull up to the gas station to put like $10 in my car and this man in a fancy Benz pulls up and is like “don’t put your card in I just feel like paying it forward and making someone’s day” and then he paid to fill up my whole tank 🥹
This 40 year old dude just came up on my bumble and one of the first lines in his bio was “I live alone and pay my own rent.”
Bro. You’re 40. I’d hope you pay your own rent by now??? Is the bar really that low???
Hey guys remember like 2 years ago when I had to delete my old anon with like 7k followers because I tweeted shit about my cousin’s shitty husband and she found out? Yeah they’re getting divorced now.
Jamie Lynn is out here suspiciously doing way more shit than she’s done since she was a teenager for someone who claims she never took a dime of Britney’s money
It’s honestly so satisfying watching the Spears family have to get actual jobs for the first time in years one by one now that they can’t steal money directly from Britney.
#JusticeForBritney
YALL. I am at the Cardi B concert and this dude I randomly hooked up with from tinder on fucking Thursday is literally sitting RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME WHAT IS MY LIFE I CANNOT MAKE THIS SHIT UP
