GenX unleashed

Cultcha, PoliticsAugust 7, 2024717Views 0Likes 0Comments

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…

It’s not Pete

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…

What does midlife GenX leadership look like?

Generations, PoliticsAugust 1, 2024810Views 0Likes 0Comments

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…

Garden Goodness

So much garden goodness: Red oak leaf lettuce Shredded and salted zucchini Unfold cherry tomatoes (the best) Beets in balsamic Plus some soaked walnuts from the store. Decaf earl gray tea with basil (from the garden) simple syrup. Some other summer meals and delights from the garden. Yellow and green string beans. Tomatoes and peppers in the sauce. And below, salad greens and fresh tomatoes!

He’s “a Summer” … and so is she

Oh, my! When I saw a photo of Ryan Gosling in his all dusty-lavendar suit, I saw a summer-palette person looking back at me. Summers are all about the smoky, dusty cool colors and the more blending (and less contrast) the better for Summers. Can you see how "him" he looks in the soft colors and…

Uncommon

I know many of you Millennials and those born in a time when kissin' and lovin' and baby-makin' (if that's on your radar) with people of whatever color or ethnicity you choose may not think it a big deal that a Jamaican man married a woman from southern India, and had two daughters, Kamala and…

So good!

Oh, this is epic. Every little bit. Every detail. Every, every detail. I do so love this creative expression, and I ever so love the shift when Obama is featured. Kamala, too! The Enya song is so perfect! I love it all! Sound on. Which one is your favorite? https://jessienewburnwriter.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/fmjsV0hqouA_QlTH.mp4

Raggin’ on other generations

GenerationsJuly 20, 2024884Views 1Like 0Comments

Let us remember, or at least consider ... Each generation is an ARCHETYPE (there are only four). Each generation has a specific type of childhood during a specific type of era, or societal mood; each generation has its own experience of adult-generated deficiencies and excesses that it wants to balance and correct; each generation sees itself…

Winter never fails to turn into spring

Cultcha, GenerationsJuly 20, 2024744Views 0Likes 0Comments

We are in Winter, culturally, as a nation. It's a thing. It's generational in its origins. It's cyclical. It has to happen. What comes after winter (cold, dark, difficult times, when pulling IN is the best strategy to survive the times ahead)? Spring, a time of hope, renewal, fecundity, nesting and optimism. Just you wait. Come 2032/3, it's…

Green lightning!

This is a rather after-the-event post, but, my goodness! Did anyone else in the area see the lightning show Monday night? TEAL! Pink! Blues, of course. But much teal! Lots and lots of teal! *** This isn't my photo, and it's not what I saw. I didn't see the streaks, per se, just…

Seen by some as strong

Cultcha, GenerationsJuly 16, 2024725Views 0Likes 0Comments

When tensions run high--and, boy, do they ever in the latter third of a Fourth Turning, which is where we're at: the Fourth Turning starting in 2008/9 and lasting until about 2032/3--it's not the weight of a "thing" but the reaction to the "thing" that makes it a triggering event or not. My sense is this…

Bruh

Bruh! Each generational archetype, of which there are four and only four, has a different coming-of-age experience, and the coming-of-age experience is a significant part of defining each generation. If one can let go of the fabricated generational names and dates bandied about of late, and understand, instead, the marker birth year is 2005 for the start…
