The random not-randomness of life, chapter gajillion and 473.
So, in the last two days I've been in this "let's do it, fall is coming, things have been sitting around too long" mode of getting rid of some items (some mine, some my mother's) by way of my local Buy Nothing group. So, here I am…
I am the maker of many-things-dehydrated. I am the maker of cowboy candy, which I find incredibly delicious and zingy. I am the maker of soaked walnuts and other soaked nuts, though there is not much *making* involved in such activities.
And I am now the maker of this gorgeous, incredibly delicious, masterpiece that mixes all…
If you could cast but one vote, would you say this man looks like / feels like the personality of --
A Boomer?
A GenXer
A Millennial
Or the empathetic, kind, nice, polite generation after them?
The American West iconic cowboy image (and time! ... before the rise of barbed wire and…
Here's the 1981 Billy Idol graphic for the song "Dancing with Myself."
And yet another example of the teen/pre-teen/child sex-ploitation / hashtag # teensploitation of children that happened so prevalently and recklessly during the hashtag # GenX childhood/teen years.
You think generational formation of children is eh, arbitrary or whatevs? Look at this image and tell me…
Oh, you young 'uns have no idea of the mess young GenXers encountered in the world -- and work world, particularly in the lack of shared knowledge and information management they encountered as the young adults of the nation and business world.
One of the things GenXers (currently 43-63 years old) tend to have in spades…
Ya know, nothing like having the opening of the Democratic National Convention on a full moon -- no less, a super and a blue moon. I mean, if you're gonna do it, do it.
Awakenings and quantum leaps. Ya know.
From this piece:
"This event brings a surge of electric, revolutionary energy that will instigate awakenings and quantum…
Each generational type (there are four) has a date with destiny that is its own, and for which it is uniquely and perfectly formed. Each generation also goes through the four phases of life (childhood, young adulthood, midlife and elderhood) in which they both see the outer world from their distinct perspective and are seen…
It’s so over.
This hat. This camo-pattern Harris-Walz hat says it all.
Trump is toast … and good that he is, lying, thieving, Constitution-stomping narcissist that he is, always has been and always will be.
We've had in Joe Biden these last four years, a Silent generation president -- the really nice, polite, empathetic, procedural type of generation (as will likely be the kids born 2005 - ~ 2027, but I digress).
Biden, born in 1942, in the last year of the Silent gen (1925-1942), is the only member of his…
CHILLS!
#GenX is in the house, folks! In the house!
And the gloves are coming off! Since Kamala's first days of her campaign, the feeling in the air is oh, so different!
This video of yet-another GenX leader saying, essentially,"Oh, yeah, you think I'm down. All you did was remove my restraints and radicalize me" was so powerful…
Much as I had wished it myself in those first few days of her candidacy, it's not Pete who will be by Kamala Harris's side as a running mate and then when she is sworn in as POTUS. Here are my thoughts on the who and the what and the why, and they are filled…
For years (maybe even a couple decades) folks have asked -- well, some of them have -- "Where are the GenX leaders? Why aren't they running for office? When will they step up?"
So, for starters, Gen X (b 1961-1981, and, yes, those are the more-aligned and accurate dates for Xers) are the NOMAD archetype in…
