Note to GenXers with elderly parents. Do you manage their finances and Social Security account? If so, stay up to date with any forms you might need when they pass away. My dad passed in Feb and they locked his online SSA account within days. Now I have to file his taxes but have no SSA statement and can’t access it. Been on hold for two hours now.
EDIT: Took 3.5 hours for a 5 minute phone call. And I have to do it again next year. #socialsecurity #ssa #parents #caregiver #genx
The Gen X Career Meltdown
Just when they should be at their peak, experienced workers in creative fields find that their skills are all but obsolete.

@csilverman My first thought was "Qbert!"
Galvanize? The Last Rockers had a different take on what it’s time for:

Last night while rehearsing the 80s kids show, I got to the second verse of "Wouldn't It Be Good" (from the Pretty in Pink soundtrack!), which goes ...
"the heat is stifling
burning me up from the inside
the sweat is coming
from each and every pore"
... and I thought: did a present-day perimenopausal #GenX -er go back to 1984, and possess the body of Nic Kershaw to write these lyrics?

@ruralgloom That cheese though makes great grilled cheese sandwiches.

This article is so interesting. It was written in 1990 about how Gen X is entering the workforce and how we aren’t buying into the boomer propaganda about work.
This is why I still am still shocked to see the people I went to high school with boot licking like they do. This is why their simping for capitalism was so shocking to me in 2020. Especially after people told me for years that it “must be so nice to sit home all day!”
Then I watched them flip out when they could stay home with their family and collect an extra $600 on top of unemployment. The TANTRUMS OMG LOL

As an aging #genX person let me be clear: if you’re my age and don’t support #trans rights, you’ve missed the fucking point. We’re the generation that created #cyberpunk as a genre. There is *nothing* more cyberpunk than self selecting your gender identity. 
@fbievan
By not using emoji. Well, maybe that's more of a boomer thing. #GenX generally like emoji.
Also.. maybe drop the h*tl*r stache from your emoticon, lol. ;)
I like emoticons, honestly. First learned about them in a [book](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cuckoo%27s_Egg_(book)) way back in 1990. ;)

@MoskitoHero This is so rad! All #GenX folks would enjoy it!
