Life's a feeling process

Prepare to be unsettled – Daniel Mallory Ortberg’s new story collection The Merry Spinster turns fairy tales inside out to comment on gender, relationships, and the things we do (or don’t) owe each other.

Check out Annalisa’s full review here.

And there’s a lovely interview with Ortberg, who’s just come out as trans, here (Daniel Ortberg AND Heather Havrilesky on page, be still my beating nerd heart!).

a 90’s kid? don’t you mean sad adult?

70,000 people have reblogged this but no one is trying to defend themselves

There is nothing to defend

#i read a post once that described 90s kids as the generation of nostalgia #because so much technological advancement happened in such a rapid timeframe when we were growing up #that we can clearly remember having technologies that are now obsolete #like going from a corded hugeass phone to a small computer in your pocket just within our formative years is a major thing #and it sparks a nostalgia for our seemly ‘simpler’ childhoods #because so much rapid development makes it seem like it was a lot longer ago than it actually was (x)

This is the most solid explanation of our decade I have ever heard.

[fakenasty]

Oh my god

[retr0philia]

Just to add onto that, our childhood wasn’t even technology based. We grew up knowing of chalk, skateboards, jump rope, street hockey, playgrounds, butterfly collecting, etc. Slowly technology took over our lives and now there are hardly kids playing outside in the summer. We can clearly remember our childhood as it was and now we can see the clear line between it. We were the generation right smack in the middle of it all. Our parents were of non-tech and our children/young siblings will be all tech.

[breelandwalker]

Not to mention, ours was the last generation that grew up with all those bright promises of “work hard, go to college, and you’ll have a successful life,” only to find those hopes abruptly dashed when the housing bubble burst. Milliennials have grown up expecting that disappointment, because for them, the problem has been there since Day One.

So 90s kids aren’t just nostalgic…we’re BITTER. And we ache for those days when we could still think that the world was boundless and full of the opportunities we were promised since the first day of kindergarten.

Every time someone adds to this i have to reblog.

[zombieemammii]

This though.

“We’re the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives. We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars, but we won’t. And we’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very pissed off.” - Tyler Durden (Fight Club 1999)

[aydenhawke]

Reblog this every time cause me and Tom are a 30 year old married couple living with his parents, cause we can’t even afford to comfortably rent a 1 bed flat due to the fact that we both work part time jobs because full time jobs are impossible to come by, and when they do come by, we have to compete with 500+ other applicants for the position (that’s not an exaggeration, a new store is opening in the city, they had 3 full time positions and 500 people applied in less than 12 hours)

And even then, we are terrified to leave the jobs we have at the moment because they may be part time jobs, but we are secure in these positions. We would be taking a HUGE risk stepping away from these positions.

So yeah, i’m a child who grew up in the 90’s and i’m bitter as hell :(

[kryp73x]

Gotta reblog again, cause there been added content, and it just makes all the sense ever, it’s just so sad that we had to grow up this way, and there’s little to no hope of aspiring higher…*gonna go crawl in a corner and lay there fettle position and whine a bit*

Perception

How do you see things? What rocks your world? What do you chose to focus on? What do you make others focus on? 1• Regardless of what you are going through, you are 1 step closer to genuine happiness the more beauty, good, positivity you notice around you 2• If it hurts you, or makes you feel anything less than the amazing being God created you to be, it's not worth your attention 3• If another is hurt because you chosen to haul negativity on them, how does that help you? 4• To see is a blessing, to see the ever present marking of perfection in everything is a choice Be happy, and spread Happiness, chose positivity!
