This study is a couple years old but found only 28% of football players didn't have CTE and that concussions aren't associated as much as blows to the head (n=631). Each year of football increases your odds of getting cte by 15%. Every 1000 blows to the head increase your odds by 21%.Not just football, any contract sport that includes blows to the head. #genx #dodgeball

Jaye P. Morgan has died. Most will ask, "Who?" But if you are a GenX'r with a certain sense of humor, you know.
And if you know and were a fan, then you and I would surely be friends.

According to #queer friends who are #GenX , they said when they were kids, Rocky Horror saved their lives

International Dog Day. A completely reasonable holiday, unlike most of the shit humans have invented. Dogs show up, love you, demand food, and judge your life choices without saying a damn word. Honestly, they’ve got this whole living thing figured out.

"Like A Prayer" Madonna is the hottest Madonna.
And yes...I will die on that hill.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show at Film Forum will forever be in my heart as the place of resistance for all us #GenX queers and misfits during the genocidal Reagan-Bush years.
when they thought Black & Latine trans women & gay men were the only victims, Bush and Reagan said #AIDS victims deserved to die for being sins.
that’s why TRHPS was so important during that era. Tim rewrote that movie with his defiantly ambisexual performance. TRHPS taught us how to carve spaces of #LGBTQI resistance.

as the #GenX mom of two #zillennials, i used good parenting as an excuse to watch cartoons with them.
Tim Curry is forever in my heart as the voice of Nigel, the patriarch of The Wild Thornberries:

but we owe him a debt of gratitude for developing Dr. Frank-n-furter during filming of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. that movie became my generation's salve from the #GOP’s genocidal neglect during the #AIDS pandemic.
he’s one of the ancestors now.
godspeed, Tim.

Gen Zers were handed a floppy disk. Their bafflement over how to use it is wild to see.

Just letting you know that it's totally okay to throw on MacLean and MacLean today, and play that song, you know the song.
With yer hands in yer pockets.

Tonight’s movie: Beastmaster. One of those movies that reminds me why I fucking love being Gen X. We grew up watching shit like this on a shitty TV and thought it was awesome. No algorithm. No streaming. Just swords, monsters and cable.

I ordered coffee at the Starbucks drive-thru and the barista asked: "Hot?"
It didn't even register with me and I had to ask her to repeat it.
...aaaaand, look. I know that's a thing.
But, to my ears, it's like driving through a Frozen Yogurt place and having them ask me: "Perfect. And do you want that heated up?"

Things that have changed in my #GenX lifetime:
- longest peaceful border in the world (USA & Canada)
- composition of the atmosphere
- smoking sections on airplanes
- pot is legal most places
- travel agents are extinct
- people pick up their dogs' poop
- long distance is free but no one wants to talk on the phone
- the supreme Court
- Pizza was pretty much the only delivered food. (In dense cities, Chinese too)
-
I showed my Gen Z kids ‘Dead Poets Society’ and their angry reactions to it floored me

Watching Maximum Overdrive. Machines became self-aware, trucks started hunting humans, and somehow this passed for entertainment in the 80s. Gen X didn’t need safe spaces. We had Stephen King, AC/DC, and homicidal fucking semis.

I just want to hang out with Chester every weekend.

There's actually a lot going on visually. Keep an eye out for really subtle environmental humor.

Sifl & Olly is surrealist comedy genius.
I'm glad I'm finally getting around to watching them in order.
(It's mostly aged well except for occasional outdated language and expired comedy tropes. Super nostalgic.)

I'll fuck you up, in public, verbally, ya dipshit #GenX sellout cowards. Promise, for the pathetic peons.

This is related to why I don’t date people my age or older: Gen X is a bunch of bootlickers and always has been.

Gen X women are getting loud about perimenopause. It’s time someone calls out the b.s.

So...after 50 years of thinking that it sounds like "Oona Babba Leeja," I finally had to find out what the hell John Sebastian is singing in the Welcome Back Kotter theme song. Turns out, it's this...
"Who'd have thought they'd lead ya?
(Who'd have thought they'd lead ya?)
Back here where we need ya?
(Back here where we need ya?)"Makes sense, I guess. You're welcome.
