Sometimes you just have one of those moments where the progress we've made as a culture get thrown into stark relief. You look at something and go "Holy shit, that would never have happened when I was a kid."

Today, I had one of those moments when I realized that the teenage boys I'm working with are just. genuinely, openly enthusiastic about going to Build-a-Bear for their outing.

These are sixteen and seventeen year old boys! They just had a whole conversation about what to name their "cute", mostly new squishmallows! They're genuinely excited that they're going to Build-a-Bear this weekend and asking other kids to pick up specific accessories for them!!

Holy shit, that never would've happened when I was 16. None of the boys would have dared to be visibly interested - and neither would most of the girls! There would have been a million gay jokes and "Haha, you're a girl" jokes and "What are you, a baby?" jokes. Teenagers weren't even supposed to care about anything back then!

Less than 15 years later, and I'm watching three 17 year old boys treat all that as not even worthy of comment.

So let's call that a reason for hope. Even when the kids aren't alright, in some ways apparently they are alright. Go Gen Z, honestly. It's so lovely to watch you guys just openly doing and saying stuff that, when I was a teen, would've been a social death sentence.

"JAY WAS AS RADICAL AND SPONTANEOUS AS THEY GET AND ALWAYS MADE SHIT LOOK GOOD."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on youngest of the original Z-boys, Jay Adams (1961-2014), pool-riding the Dog Bowl in Santa Monica, CA, c. 1977. 📸: Glen E. Friedman.

"Jay was as radical and spontaneous as they get and always made shit look good. His intuition in skating was like few others, and he had a vision that was always spot-on, believe it or not. Jay could be one of the rudest and most fucked up people around but he could also be one of the nicest and most thoughtful, it just depended on what day you caught him."

-- GLEN E. FRIEDMAN on the character and/or demeanor of his late, great friend Jay Adams (✝)
