I think it’s been kind of paralyzing because my parents are Russian immigrants and everything you would expect to go along with that so they’re always telling me to apply for any and every single job…well I don’t want to work answering phones at an oil company for 15 an hour in a small town in Illinois. I want to travel more or have personal projects. I always feel pulled in two directions at once and as a result I haven’t done that much in either.

I think their vision for me is dead, dude. I’ve been systematically killing it off for years with a lot of effort because their ideal vision for me is someone in a nice stable well-paying STEM job like a computer programmer or something like that. My dad just thinks that I’m wasting my life…

What advice would you give to millennials who are struggling?
Welcome to the real world. Welcome to real America.
So no sympathy?
gently caress no. gently caress no. No. Welcome to real America.
So what part of the term “millennial” do you buy into or don’t you buy into?
I mean I know it’s bad out here, but it’s been bad out here. But you can get it so many different ways now. And there’s money specifically for who you are, like you can justify someone funding you for support for who you are and that’s beautiful. Ask your grandmother about a grant. Ask your grandmother about a small business loan or about an incubator program or an investor. Come on man, for real.

I always hated people who’d say, “Oh yeah, man I’m just going to graduate and I’m just going to travel and I’m just going to go around the country and sleep on people’s couches.” I feel like you’re always taking advantage of somebody in some way when you do that…I would know people who would say, “Why don’t you just let go and go out of town?”

It’s because I need to eat food and pay for my student loans.

I have friends around the world and that’s my favorite thing because it lets me know that there’s love everywhere. I realize that I’m really lucky because I don’t have to write a letter and wait ten months to hear back from them. I have people texting me now from around the world, and that’s amazing. I think being a millennial is about being with it, with technology and with the world, and trying to be as in it as possible and I think I find that in myself by surrounding myself with people who inspire me from everywhere.

I like making videos. I think they’re a lot of fun. I’m trying to make a documentary right now about teenagers and growing up and the college process. I think growing up is very interesting…you get hardened when you grow up and a lot of times it’s a bad thing and innocence is bliss, and I identify with that…I think I’m trying not to grow up because that scares me.

Well I guess I can tell you: I initially started doing drag and there was a part of me that ventured into potentially trans territory. I still day to day just go out presenting as male but there’s a concerned side of me that wonders if there’s something more than that and there is an intense gender fluidity that I have and that causes a lot of distress internally, especially with work. For anyone who is trans, the statistical likelihood of having difficulties with employment grows. Taking on that risk for me is horrifying.

For a few years in early school I was really worried that I wasn't being taught enough technology stuff to make it in the new modern world of the upcoming Internet

I was honestly scared that everybody would know how to program because it was going to a basic skill like the alphabet and I'd be left behind

I wasn't worried my younger colleagues wouldn't know how to read a loving analog clock, but here we are

Good stuff, millies(that's my endearing term for Millenials)

Used cars salesman: they’re trying to sell a depreciated item and make it seem like it’s really great. Then when they sell it to the person they’re like ‘no refunds, sorry,’ it breaks down two weeks later and it’s not their fault–the person was the one who decided to buy it. I feel that’s so much of how our world operates between people that don’t know each other, as the basis of our economies.

I go back and forth on how worthwhile the college experience was. My younger brother does maintenance on buses right now loan-free making exactly what I make in a union and he’s going to be making a lot more than I make in 10 years…He works pretty lovely hours, he has to work overnights a lot and he’s the low guy on the totem pole but he definitely has a trajectory in his career that I don’t have.
