For those who did everything our parents told us to do... now what?


Hello everyone! We've gone dark to protest Reddit's API changes towards third party apps.

About

This subreddit was forged about the same time the economy went to hell, lamenting the sorry state of the economy, the problems of an educated (and sometimes over-educated) young workforce having troubles finding employment despite "doing everything right", and just what this generation is supposed to do when the usual markers of adulthood (kids, house, marriage) have been pushed back in the name of higher education/income potential, along with the collective reorganization of a new set of values.

They’re totally cool with camps BTW

I’m living in Florida and a lot of liberals seem to have trouble coming to terms that Republican voters are just as evil as their politicians. We need to defend ourselves.

You can't be at war with people in a concentration camp.

This is how it should be. These criminals should be isolated, tracked for the rest of their lives. They've shown no interest in being a part of humanity with their fascist supremacy.

"Just don't follow politics"

(I'm in the U.S.) I had my normal psych med check-in, and she asked me how I'm feeling and I told her that I feel despairing, anxious, legitimately worried about how to view the future, because of everything that's happened in the past week. My PSYCHIATRIST advised me to stop paying attention, for my mental health. Something is very wrong about that, right?

The Alien Enemies Act of 1798 which Trump plans on invoking gives the president the power to indefinitely detain any "alien enemy" over the age of 14, including totally legal residents with no connection to crime. What is Trump planning?

Small acts of resistance and community building: COVID memorial project.

Since the pandemic started, I think many of us have felt uneasy about the push towards “normality” and “just getting on with it.” Keep working. Keep consuming. Keep the gears of the system churning. The lack of memorializing and allowing for communal grief around the precious people we lost is just another push towards the acceptance of mass deaths, which we will see more and more of as climate change driven natural disasters, wars etc. take more from us. The capitalist system wants us to forget about our shared humanity and normalise what should never be normalised. It continues a culture of individualism and solitude, and fills the growing spaces between us with fear and hate.

This is my little step in resisting. Passing down recipes is such a universal thing, and is an act of preserving stories, family traditions and celebrations. It’s a reminder of what we have in common as humans. So I’m starting a project to collect recipes that have been handed down to loved ones by people we lost in the pandemic. May we remember their names, remember that they mattered, and not accept the callous dismissal of their loss to the world. If you’d like to contribute a recipe from a lost loved one, please complete the form over on r/CovidMemorialRecipes

Obviously because they don’t want to be taxed once they’re billionaires.

Nothing quite says, "You picked the wrong major" when you decide to randomly check up on your school's website for nostalgia and discover they eliminated your master's degree program.
