The oldest millennials right now are 35. They were born in 1982 and turned 18 in the year 2000.
Gen Z started in the late 90′s or 2000, depending on your opinion.
But for certain, if you were born after 2000, YOU ARE NOT A MILLENNIAL.
The youngest millennials are just about 18 years old right now if you end the Millennial Generation in 2000.
18-35. We are your millennials.
“Younger millennials” are actually Gen Z.
THIS ALL STEMS FROM OUR PARENTS CONTINUING TO INFANTILIZE US.
Millennials are full-grown fucking adults in their twenties and thirties!!!
MILLENNIALS ARE NOT TEENAGERS, MILLENNIALS ARE NOT CHILDREN.
(there is nothing wrong with being a teenager. you’re awesome and great, welcome to Gen Z by the way, also called the iGeneration)
Thissss. No one can really agree when the millennials “end”, but most say between 95-97. Which means that millennials are all over 20, and as a group we’re in the work force now.
Yep, exactly. Millennials aren’t little kids, but the media still treats us that way.
“The U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team is getting a raise, bigger bonuses and the same per diems as the men.
The women’s team announced Wednesday that it had struck a new labor deal with U.S. Soccer, the sport’s governing body. For months, the women have said that their pay and treatment is unequal to the men’s team.
The women will also get better hotel and travel accommodations and will be reimbursed for the years when their per diems were less than those of the men.”
Finally some good news for the USWNT!
Reblogging with the bit that gives the outrage some closure.
how come conservative students think they’re smarter than professors with doctorates and shit
conservative students swear that every university professor is some radical leftist with an agenda when usually it’s a professor that just uses critical thinking skills, context, and has empathy
if you swear all the professors you encounter are wrong, it might actually be that your opinions are outdated, bigoted, and incorrect lmao
This is actually the reason behind the popular notion within conservative circles that universities have a “liberal bias.”
Consistently, conservative students will leave higher ed because they perceive critical thinking, self-critique, and open discussion as attacks on their selfhood, rather than as a process of refining ideas and arguments. All of their accusations about how the people who disagree with them are just “too sensitive” are nothing more than projection, because they very idea that they should question their own assumptions is something they believe would only make them weak.
It’s become increasingly obvious to me that conservative people are just those who have never developed critical thinking skills
My father, who teaches drafting, CAD, and technical math at the local college, told me once that the reason he was a liberal was because “When you start learning about the world with an open mind, when you start meeting and talking to people with an open mind, when you look at the world as a whole and think about it critically, you come to realize that reality has a liberal ‘bias’, and that it’s less a bias than just the logical conclusions of intelligent, compassionate, and emphatic people who want to leave the world better than they found it. To be a conservative Republican, you have to be able to shut down and not acknowledge any of that, and get mad at anyone who tries to point it out.”
– am i talking over others? are those others mostly women?
– why does this person feel like that? how can i acknowledge their feelings?
– does she seem comfortable around me? if not, why?
– am i devaluing women as a joke/when they make me angry? am i insulting women’s appearance and sanity whenever they make me angry?
– am i listening to other people’s knowledge/experiences or am i only talking about my own? how can i share my knowledge/experiences in a respectful way that doesn’t monopolize conversation or infantalize others (primarily women)?
1. You are responsible for your own media experience.
2. There is such a thing as a healthy level of avoidance towards topics that make you feel unwell or even (in a real-life clinical definition of the term) trigger you – but you are the one to actively take care of what you view.
3. Avoiding does not mean policing others.
4. You have no right to tell artists to censor themselves – you may criticize what others do, you may dislike it, that’s fine – but actively asking for censorship when you could easily unfollow or block a person just makes you look incompetent in your use of the internet.
5. Do not give people on tumblr or /any/ website the responsibility for your emotional well-being. Because these people do not even know you so no, you have no right to ask them to take care of you.
