remember when millennials said we weren't going to be as weird and stupid about gen z as boomers were about us? lol that didn't last long huh

I just saw someone suggest that no one under 18 should have access to the internet because they're all falling for online radicalisation, and I don't know how to explain to you that "this whole group of people should be banned from part of society because they're fundamentally incapable of thinking for themselves" is actually one of the most fascist things you can think

being darth vader would make halloween so convenient. you just get up and bang. costume all ready. this is the only advantage of his existence however.

Good For Her !

Starfleetification of Commander Fox :)

why do we have to pit two bad bitches against each other: Rebels is a kids show about hope and family, Andor is about beating cops to death

I must not mock Gen Alpha. Mocking Gen Alpha is the mind killer. Mocking Gen Alpha is the little-death that brings total generational solidarity obliteration. I will engage with Gen Alpha lovingly. I will permit them to be cringe. And when they grow up I will turn my eye to their accomplishments. Where mocking has gone there will be nothing. Only generational solidarity remains

The Kids are indeed Alright.

We must teach them the Lore of things,

like piracy, and how to find stuff at the Library, and Unions, and what it's not legal for job applications to ask you.

when i hear complaints about the boomers, i say "was it not boomers getting shot by cops while protesting against the war in vietnam? Were not boomers the ones who insisted that banks would no longer require a cosign from a husband or father for a woman to open an account or have a credit card? Did they not literally take us to the moon?"

When i hear complaints about gen x i say " did not gen x bear the brunt of AIDS and the creation of the 'inner city'? wasn't it gen-x marching for queer rights and women's body autonomy and a change in corrupt banking policies in some of the largest protests in the country's history?"

when i hear complaints about millennials, i say "have not millennials fought against and lived through so many 'once in a generation' disasters they should by all rights have given up by now? Are not millennials those who rally against the status quo? the industry killers, the cop protesters, they who live through unending hardship as the economic noose tightens, leading the charge for sustainability and socio-economic reform?"

when i hear complaints about gen-z i say "hasn't gen-z gotten involved younger, and been involved stronger, in the continuance of these noble traditions? Are they not living without even the broken pieces of the promise given to the generations that came before? haven't they had their childhoods derailed by the imminence of consequences for actions they were never even present for?"

when i hear complaints about generation alpha i say "HOW DARE YOU. How dare you malign these souls who will have to fix so much that they did not have a hand in ruining... or else die of these mistakes made before they were born. How dare you do the work of our shared oppressors and alienate our fresh blood. You are not to mistreat and mock the youngest soldiers in this fight, no! you point out to them the best targets, you share your rations, you show them how to stay alive, because anyone in the trenches with us is our brethren, our sistren. Our safety and our strength."

don't let the worst kind of stand up comedian tell you other generations are terrible. Don't let the worst kind of headline convince you each generation is against the other. Don't let the worst kind of oppressive force keep us divided along lines that mean nothing real. Because that is how they win.

"oh i really love xyz character-" really? outside the context of shipping?

The Force does not actually make the future, it does not build it, it does not write it, it just predicts it.

The Force looks at the actions of the living beings that live in the Galaxy, and predicts what some of those choices are going to lead to in the end.

Even considering Seers, the Force probably didn't just decide "Hey! You're going to see everything I do!" it's just good (or bad) luck that a poor soul was born more in contact with the Force than others, and so could see all the predictions the Force made better than others!!

This is why a vision is never going to be true 100% of the time, because it is a future not wirtten in stone, it can be changed, sometimes the change is accidental or sometimes it's desired, but again, it happens because of the actions of the individuals! Sometimes it does not even change! Because the Force predicted that someone would know of that future, and would do exactly the actions that were going to lead to that end, and there was nothing they could do!

The Force is not some some entity who decides what to do on its own, it's a field that binds the galaxy together, everything it does is not part of any plan, it just makes it happen based on the actions of the individuals of the galaxy.

A person is not just a pawn in the grand scheme of things, it is their choices that are going to determine their future, not a pre-existing future.

What I'm trying to say is, I hate the idea of the Force being an actual entity (or worse, similiar to the Christian God) but it's just something doing its job by keeping all the galaxy alive.

Samah’s elderly mother passed away yesterday. She had been suffering from broken bones, bedsores, and infections. Samah and her daughter Hamsa evacuated to Cairo but had to leave the rest of their family behind, and now they have lost someone so dear—Hamsa calls her “the most loving person in my life”.

They’ve been fundraising for months and have only received €6433 out of €30 000. Please hear their grief and have compassion.

They were sleeping..

Imagine losing your home, and all you own with it. The place where you live, and spend time with people you love. You most prized possessions and sentimental objects. All of it gone.

Now, imagine having to recover from this, having to find a new place for you and your loved ones to stay, to shelter from injury and cold. You finally find a place where you can stay. It isn't everything you dreamed of, but its something.

But then a storm comes. Heavy rains beat down, swift, muddy water flows, and this shelter you have built for yourself and your family collapses and sinks.

This is what the Meshal family @meshalfamily has gone through.

The Meshal family consists of Soha, her husband Hasan, and their four sons. Their home was destroyed by the war, and they have been displaced numerous times. They had come to live in a tent in Khan Yunis, but their tent was ruined by a heavy storm.

Winter is getting closer, and temperatures in Gaza are dropping. The cold hits even harder for the many people who have lost their homes and their wardrobes, and have not proper clothing or shelter to withstand the weather.

$4,486 / $40,000 USD

Currently, the Meshal family has only reached about 1/10th of their total goal, and donations have been slow. They desperately need your help to buy a proper tent for this winter, as well as to provide for other necessities like food. Please, share and donate. Your action can help them survive.

Under the constant threat of guns, killings, and arbitrary arrests and torture, the people of Jabalia are walking past tanks and heavy occupation machinery, holding their ID cards in their hands, just trying to survive this deadly journey. My camp… it’s pure heartbreak. 💔😔 My family, uncles, cousins, neighbors, friends, and schoolmates—all of them, living in fear. My heart aches for them.

Gaza is being wiped out. We desperately need your support, in any way you can—whether it’s a donation, sharing our story, or simply spreading the word about our families. It means the world to us. Even a kind word lifts our spirits. Thank you, our hearts are breaking for our loved ones.💔
