Hey fellow Gen-Xers! I’ve just launched a Substack that’s totally rad and totally free: @lizlapoint?r=oqdsc&utm_medium=ios" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@lizlapoint?r=…

Kamala Harris in the 80s

@DecaturDaiIy @bonsaibean You’re still a loser internet troll and a bad liar

@bonsaibean @DecaturDaiIy 🤣

@AdamCrigler @HeidiBriones Your absurd skepticism that a man would be this shallow is gullibility of epic proportions, but why don’t you ask @thesheltonhill if he’s lying? If he says he is, then you can ask why he’s a loser troll, or you can wonder why you believe everything people say on the internet

@HeidiBriones do you believe everything people say on the internet?

Men Being Awful

@MadisonKittay Someone doesn’t know that GenXers say what we mean so we wouldn’t substitute 👍🏼 for 🖕🏼😆

Happy Father’s Day to all the rad GenX dads who broke the cycle!

@marcgarlasco 😆 Too perfect

Happy Father’s Day 1970s edition…#GenX

@hollowearthterf @drgurner You might be right, and if you are then I’m an exception. I’ve never felt like I always have to wear makeup, dress sexy, etc when at home with my husband. He’s always told me I’m beautiful no matter what. I wouldn’t have married someone who didn’t feel that way.

@drgurner Most women cannot really be themselves in a heterosexual relationship

I think a lot of women suffer mentally when living with a man because the home ceases to be a place where once can escape the performance of femininity. It becomes just another stage just like the outside world. There you are being perceived again, there is no break, no safe haven, nowhere to freely be “gross” and take off the mask. It’s no wonder so many women are metabolically unwell.

@terry2070 These are GORGEOUS! Striking images that are eye-catching

@MASH407777 It’s not that we were the first, but more that we were the last generation to experience a general lack of parental involvement & supervision. Younger generations are shocked when I tell them what my childhood was like.

I don’t get into crapping on other generations, but as a boomer, I find it interesting that Gen X’ers seem to think they’re the first to experience stuff like this.

@DainFitzgerald That movie was filmed at the mall where I was actually a mallrat. My sister & I would go there every day to watch them shoot. I wish I’d brought a camera though, I have no pictures 🤦🏼‍♀️

"Mallrats," 1995. If the Boomers took for granted how good the economy was, Gen X took for granted how good social life could be. In retrospect we were entirely too blase about obsessive male interests like comic books and video games alienating one from women and the possibility of romance. All these years out, this character's attitude has resulted in the near total secession of many men from serendipitous overlaps with women. The "end of boredom" has merged with a curated bro pod life. (Not to mention the slow decline of the titular malls.)

Father’s Day Cards, Then vs Now open.substack.com/pub/genxcellen… Gen X, remember what Father's Day cards looked like when we were kids?

@MrsButters She’s a psychopath who’s angry that the victims she bullied are triumphantly winning at life, so she’s trying to rile up all the other superficial idiots who believe their looks make them superior. She’s an emotional & intellectual infant.

Someone is mega mad that they peaked in high school

Waterbeds & Other Bad Ideas open.substack.com/pub/genxcellen… Gen-X, I'd love to hear about your experiences with these

Hey Gen X, what was the worst fashion trend of the 1980s
