RE: Baby-Proofing Our Past

Have you heard of Tik Tock tics?

I had not. Sheesh. While I do believe the pandemic (or the lockdowns, more accurately) caused massive psychological damage on a global scale, this just sounds like the epidemic attention-seeking that's spreading like wildfire across social media.
I hadn't heard of this, but I did hear about kids across Discord and other such platforms all developing multiple personality disorder (or whatever James McAvoy had in that movie). En mass. Crazy.

Learn the tools, move on. Be the best you can be under the human circumstances. Be human. Love. Weep. Fuck up. Fix shit. Live.

Amen. I fully agree. We're so obsessed with automation and perfection we're leaving no space for actually being human.

Well I feel like on of those old people ranting that at least they didn't walk twenty miles in the snow to school and only ate gravel porridge for breakfast 🤣

Gravel porridge? You were lucky. All we had for breakfast was rolled up newspaper.

I had a perfect childhood with loving parents and I still got into trouble with the dark side. I found the devil because that seemed like fun, and picked up trauma on the way.

I freaking love this (esp. the phrasing there - the writer in ya showing, love it). It seems very unfair how we treat parents and I always say our generation does so because we think we can afford it. I don't yet have kids, I'm not responsible for fucking anyone up, so I can point a finger and play the Spanish Inquisition. Really? For how long? Another 2-3 years? And what then?

Love you lady. <3

I was absolutely thinking of the 4 Yorkshiremen. Absolutely a classic. My grandma was from Yorkshire too!

Do you know Arthur Millers The Crucible?

Actually find young people much more on the level with older crew these days, well more than I was. I thought they (older gen) were from another planet. Maybe they were. But I find myself having amazing conversations with younger people about all kinds of things these days. Maybe it's coz I don't see age much myself, except when I accidentally see myself in the window, or worse, accidentally have the phone in selfie mode .. aaaaggghhhh

I was 25 when I accidentally became a Mum. My son was 25 when he became a Dad. It's cool being a young parent. He's doing a better job than me - more settled. But that is just his nature, as it is mine to be flighty. Still, he had all the love.

Love you too!!
