so many videos are like '[thing in story] is not good, actually' - is it providing valid criticism or is the creator behind them just incapable of understanding that this highly fucked up or tragic concept is good Because it is fucked up or tragic and people are allowed to write, consume and enjoy these 'not good' concepts for the mere reason that the not-goodness is interesting

Thanks for explaining, anon! Good luck on your mystery bus ride!

Also I find it fascinating that you associate a born and bred Classic Tumblr Reaction Image with facebook boomers

While I have seen plenty of antisemitic zoomers from browsing Tumblr (and other websites), I'm actually real tired of people singling them out as being uniquely antisemitic when I've seen just as many millennials & gen xers spreading blood libel & kissing Hamas & Hezbollah's asses.

In fact, most people I've had to block for supporting terrorist groups have been over 30.

The Mastodon instance I left recently for antisemitism was mostly filled with people over 30.

My mom is in a lot of leftist gen x groups & has lost friends over defending Jewish people.

Gen z is not unique for antisemitism, and I'm honestly tired of people somehow acting like it is when I've been seeing people older than me claiming Hamas wasn't radicalized until recently, Jews (((zionists))) are a plague & use zionist money to spread propaganda. Oh, and that Jews have believed in fairytales since biblical times to commit many genocides.

i have an indeterminate amount of time that could be between 8am and 6pm tomorrow to clean my 3br house, do repairs, and temporarily evict my excess cats and one extra person. i am doing arts and crafts type shit to the hole in the ceiling. i am spraying chemicals. my boyfriend is pacing and baking bread. he is really stressed and not enriched at all due to the cost of living these days. he hates the pellets.

i need to know if i’m based or not for thinking that at this point every gen alpha kid need a 18 to 20-something year old gen z to act as a guide/older sibling to them in order to make sure the internet and the old people don’t legitimately rot their brains.

being branded a millennial is something i fear daily. (a 1999 born brazilian [generational lag] who has an identity crisis every time he thinks about generations because all his former hs classmates still post on facebook daily and only use instagram secondarily)

AITA for keeping a huge secret from my mom?

so i (26ftm) moved back in with my parents a little over a year ago due to the housing market. shakes fist at sky. you know how it is. anyways, uh, while i may be a broke zillennial, my parents are fairly financially well off, and it's in part due to my father's job. my mom recently retired and my father keeps saying he's going to retire, but still keeps pushing it off (and has been pushing it off for about a decade now).

now uh, shortly before i moved in, my mom was telling me that she was having problems with my father. that this was "the third time this had happened" and "this is his last chance" - i think you may see where i'm going with this. he was cheating. for the third time. and she'd caught him, got them to go to couples therapy, and told him there would be no fourth chance. she was willing to move out of the house and start anew somewhere else if she needed to.

um. enter me, the apple of my dad's eye. i move in. one night my mom is off at a book club so it's just me and him for dinner. he opens his phone (up til this point i've noticed he looks at his phone A Lot.) and opens up wechat. he's calling someone "babe" and sending them red heart emojis. i instantly feel kind of sick. i ask him, "are you texting mom?" and he gets SO confused for a second and says no (i don't think he knew i'd seen his phone screen).

that was almost a year ago today. since then i have seen him text this other woman nonstop, has talked about starting a family with her, has talked about taking her with him on his "work trips," and - for some reason - i've seen him google straight-up escort websites on his phone. uh, that one was while my mom and i were in the middle of showing him old family videos.

i feel so fucking guilty. every time i see him i want to [REDACTED DUE TO TUMBLR GUIDELINES]. i lost my therapist that i had known for five years in the move, i lost my entire support network, and i still haven't found anything like that up here. i am completely isolated, and while i have my own job right now, i am in no way financially stable enough to find my own place to live. if i tell my mom, i don't know what's going to happen to me. i don't know if she will kick him out or if she will move. i am trying to move back to where i was living, but i just can't afford it. i feel completely trapped in this situation, and i know what the right thing to do is, but i am terrified that on top of losing my entire life a year ago, i'm about to lose everything else, too.

a large part of me wants to confront my father first, but i am also terrified of him. i know i'm his favorite, but i am well aware of his temper, and while he's never physically harmed me, i feel like the situation might be a bit different if i'm the person that might get him divorced and ostracized from the entire family. i don't know. i honestly have no idea. everything is so confusing and i just have felt frozen for an entire year.

but the other night i saw him texting her again. she's mentioned she had been feeling sick lately and he told her that she might be pregnant. i was so close to losing it. i almost ripped his phone out of his hand and smashed it on the ground. i couldn't look him in the eye. i could barely even speak to him. maybe the funniest part about this is that he doesn't realize anything is wrong. he's a fucking narcissist and doesn't pay the slightest bit of attention to how other people act around him.

the next day, he was gone for another "work trip".

i am run completely ragged and i don't know how much longer i can take this. i find myself wishing someone else could take it out of my hands so that i don't have to be responsible for destroying our whole family.

anyways. am i the asshole for being a coward?

a bit of extra INFO as well though: as far as i'm aware, my parents are in a bit of a dead bedroom situation (frankly. my mom likes to oversshare.) so uh. at the very least i know she's not getting whatever diseases my dad surely must have by now.

What are these acronyms?

i don't have anything against people who enjoy chappell roan like i am not opposed to silly fun pop music but it's just weird that people group her with ethel cain so often because ethel cain's music deals with really harrowing themes and is like intentionally very bleak sounding. i think it's like a weird misogyny thing like there will be memes like "girlhood is a spectrum" with each of their albums like ah yes, the happy queer zillennial girl musician and the sad queer zillennial girl musician. the thing is ethel cain clearly hates the memeification of her music but for chappell roan her whole thing is playing into it. chappell roan is produced by the same person who produces olivia rodrigo's music and ethel cain produces all her own music. they're not the same kind of artist at all.
