i look at how kids behave now, and it definitely seems like they are a lot nicer to each other than back when i was that age, but then again, when my mom ran into my grade school teachers years later, they still remarked about how my class and the year ahead of us were "the worst they had ever seen", and one of them had been teacher for almost 50 years at that point, so my perception might be skewed

that's what i mean, i bet it's sublimated into other places so people aren't just calling each other The Big Gayamosexuals straight up but instead, idk, making fun of their minecraft skins online or something idfk

an artifact was recovered from deep space

nestled within unrecognizable wreckage of exotic materials was a simple thin disc plated with gold

a long, thin spiral groove was carved into the disc's surface

microscopic variations in the geometry of the groove encoded an elaborate payload of information

a message, and system of messages

this was once a powerful culture

this was their legacy, left to us

after careful scanning, this pattern was reproduced as vibrations in atmosphere

the disc's ancient, alien voice intoned incomprehensible words that nonetheless managed to convey a palpable sense of dread and disgust:

i cannot fathom being a teenager in the modern age.

getting out of my teens before cell phone cameras and social media more complex than myspace existed was a blessing

I was talking to a recent (ish) grad at work and she said that she was getting people asking for foot pics on Instagram when she was 16 and didn't realise it was a fetish thing and that once she turned 18 "a lot of them stopped" which is hosed up but kind of funny in an "oh my god" kind of way.

but yeah it's super hosed that that is even possible. then again I knew a guy that was selling his used underwear on eBay in 2004 soooo

one of my friends growing up came out (idk if that's the right term )as trans when we were uhhhh early 20s I guess? and I cannot imagine how hard school must have been but at least from all of us that were in touch I think everyone went "huh ok" because we'd reached some actual level of maturity by that point

I still can't really decide if when we were all at a new years eve fancy dress party and a bunch of people were cross dressing and I said "drat [dead name] youve done a really good job there very convincing" that was a terrible insult or a compliment

I was a pirate. The guy dressed as Freddie Mercury from I Want to Break Free was also very good. Someone else was inexplicably dressed as the Nazi from raiders of the lost ark, or maybe that's just what we said he looked like idk.

anyway that's my story thank you for listening

as someone who was a teenager in the 90s/early 2000s it's almost impossible to overstate the number of slurs used in causal conversation at the time. popular media was just as bad and fed the whole thing

it was horrific, and i cannot imagine being homosexual, trans, or sexually questioning at that time. like, i have no idea how you would survive high school, and i guess a lot of people didn't.
i knew i was bi by the time i was 13/14 and you just joined in with dropping f-slurs and using gay as an insult because what else were you gonna do
