Note to GenXers with elderly parents. Do you manage their finances and Social Security account? If so, stay up to date with any forms you might need when they pass away. My dad passed in Feb and they locked his online SSA account within days. Now I have to file his taxes but have no SSA statement and can’t access it. Been on hold for two hours now.
EDIT: Took 3.5 hours for a 5 minute phone call. And I have to do it again next year. #socialsecurity #ssa #parents #caregiver #genx

Almost 31 years now...
These jeans reminded me of the Z Cavaricci’s we wore in the late 80s. Everything that goes around comes around.
@csilverman My first thought was "Qbert!"
Galvanize? The Last Rockers had a different take on what it’s time for:

The #GenX Career Meltdown
“My peers, friends and I continue to navigate the unforeseen obsolescence of the career paths we chose in our early 20s,” Mr. Wilcha said. “The skills you cultivated, the craft you honed — it’s just gone. It’s startling.”

#Throwback to being cast as a high school student for a medical science film from an older PhD student at UVIC, 2 weeks after my 40th birthday in 2015. All the actual minor kids cast as students were bigger than me 
I will be sleeping most of the afternoon because of insomnia last night, after a late night out doing some invasive frogs culling.
Any GenX'ers that remember "The Cutting Crew" out there?

Quoting my earlier linking self. JavaScript, nutrient slurry, swappable body parts. One of the best quotes from the before times on trans joy.
Zoinks! Netflix releasing live-action 'Scooby-Doo' series
Another #GenX cash grab. I don't think it's possible that this could be good.

Last night while rehearsing the 80s kids show, I got to the second verse of "Wouldn't It Be Good" (from the Pretty in Pink soundtrack!), which goes ...
"the heat is stifling
burning me up from the inside
the sweat is coming
from each and every pore"
... and I thought: did a present-day perimenopausal #GenX -er go back to 1984, and possess the body of Nic Kershaw to write these lyrics?

@ruralgloom That cheese though makes great grilled cheese sandwiches.

As an aging #genX person let me be clear: if you’re my age and don’t support #trans rights, you’ve missed the fucking point. We’re the generation that created #cyberpunk as a genre. There is *nothing* more cyberpunk than self selecting your gender identity. 
"DEAD OR ALIVE, YOU'RE COMING WITH ME."
If you're GenX (esp. if you know the Industry in LA) you've gotta see this. Prime Video but I bought the Blu-Ray.
