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.

Good news in voting rights coming out of Montana! 🎉
Yesterday, the Montana Supreme Court struck down four major voter suppression laws passed in 2021, which:
🔹Eliminated same-day voter registration in most cases
🔹Made it more difficult to vote with a student ID
🔹Outlawed absentee ballots for new voters who would turn 18 by Election Day
🔹Banned paid ballot collection and reduced other forms of ballot return assistance
The Court’s decision is a MAJOR victory for Montana voters, specifically Native American voters, young voters, and voters with disabilities who would be disproportionately impacted by these laws.

Read this line somewhere;
“Ishq tou hota hi ek tarfa hai, jo do tarfa ho usay qismat kehte hain.”
And we’ll relate this.

I do maintain that partly why Israel is losing the PR war is that they can’t stop the IDF acting like fucking idiot monsters on instagram and tiktok.
Makes you wonder what would have happened if social media had been a thing during the Iraq war.

“the young activists seized on language in the Montana state Constitution that guarantees residents ‘the right to a clean and healthful environment,’ and stipulates that the state and individuals are responsible for maintaining and improving the environment ‘for present and future generations.’”
