On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

Also when I see a flip ask for 200K more than they paid for it. Get a grip; your ugly laminate flooring and all white counters are the first things I'm changing if I would be buying your overpriced house, which I'm not bc I don't like getting scammed

Flippers stop buying the mid-range houses ppl can live in right away. Buy the really f'ed up ones and fix them to be decent. you guys suck so bad

Obviously these are not monolithic groups; there are plenty of creative millennials who put themselves out there and there are zoomers who put themselves out there. I just feel like I do not see this issue in real life, I do think it happens but it's not something that you need to worry about irl.

Nina @ Freaking Bats 🦇 @neoficosplay.bsky.social · Jun 18

There similarly was a huge pushback then on the "I don't care" mentality of nonchalantness and apathy that was growing in young millennials at the time when they were in their teenage and early 20-something years and the fact that zoomers are doing the same is not shocking to me.

I feel like time is a flat circle bc every critique about cringe culture in gen z being heralded as this new problem was clearly not on tumblr in the early 2010s.

I love that the top comment is "the way this starts out looking like a Gatorade commercial" and my wife said the same thing and then it goes on and you're like "oh... that's not right-"
