Rest in power Breonna Taylor. Today, we mourn six years without her, and six years without justice or accountability.

sometimes i feel like "man, should i have made alex straight in hello sunshine, so that he would be more relatable to the masses/more accessible to kids with SMI who aren't queer??" but then it's like no, bc people with SMI are PEOPLE first and foremost, and he just...is gay. always was

Gen Xers and Millennials must reject this & form new models of elderhood.

Many Gen Xers want to retire @ 55-60 like our Silent generation forebears who had pensions. Sadly, we're not eligible for Medicare until age 65 or Social Security until age 67.

If we can afford to live, we will step aside.
