Low-level lead poisoning is stupefying the old and a screen-addicted adolescence warped the brains of the young. Time for mature adults to take charge (36-50).
Had never heard of “Busters” before, but both my parents fall in that category… I’m a hybrid gen born of a hybrid gen? Weird, but suddenly makes life makes so much more sense 🤔
My parents didn’t seem sure how to raise us, like they were in some kind of values clash, never quite making sense in any of their decisions. Superficially, the movies, music, and tv shows we were exposed to from them, also reflected both generations.
Being an ‘87 baby, then put me in computer lab at 12 territory, Nokia at 16. Gen X were my camp counselors, and influenced me in some ways
Looking back, the meeting of the different generations is clear; but at the time, I couldn’t understand why I’d watched shows my friends hadn’t heard of.
Thanks for confirming Wall-E World/The Original Star Trek's "The Apple" reality. My nephews and nieces are dumb as a box of crayons. We'll build them a spaceship ir machinery that will do everything for them. Dumb as a box of crayons, but loved is all we will leave to the universe." The Apple" is awesome if you haven't seen it.
On point 2, crappy diets, we should take a moment and acknowledge the tremendous work that RFK Jr. is doing at HHS. Whatever you may think about the rest of the administration, Bobby is going to save many many lives.
This makes sense and made me feel more hopeful today. As always thanks for your thoughtful writing.
I really appreciate your encouragement, Kit!
The leaded gasoline observation is no joke.
Thanks. What have you seen about this?

So glad this was helpful! How does it make more sense?

How do you think of us born in the '80s differ from the '90s babies? I'm trying to piece together all the details.
Hm, you could study my sister and I…
She’s a ‘94 baby. Her IG is mostly reels and short empowerment messages; mine is mostly photos of places/things and long captions.
She wears jeans and tight tops, I wear floral baby doll dresses with leg warmers…
Backstreet Boys vs Black Parade; Harry Potter vs Twilight; Newsies vs High School Musical; Phantom of the Opera vs. Hairspray
