protip: if you see someone who seems to be having an antsy, edgy, anxious time, and you want to help them relax, saying "stop being so tense, be yourself, relax, chill" is IME consistently one of the worst things you can do. I've seen this play out hundreds of times, always bad

"STEM majors are stupid and bad and evil b/c they've never taken a single humanities course" is definitely a take

sometimes this argument makes sense but then sometimes it comes across like they think "humanities courses" are some sort of magical panacea that will fix whatever made-up problem they're complaining about.

it's getting warm and I don't like it

what I want is the appearance of warm weather (sun shining brightly, birds singing, everything in full bloom) but like... in a range of 55-68°F and no warmer. please.

oh and also no pollen, that'd be pretty dope too

so I think part of why I love reminiscing about 90s American kid culture is that it helps me find & focus on those shared threads, as trite as they themselves may be. helps me feel "included", retroactively.

Show thread

a big part of this is how disconnected from the culture I felt growing up as an immigrant. took a while to learn English, mom never let me eat the popular junk foods, I was the kid who brought weird lunch, dressed differently from the others, was awkward & autistic as hell, etc

Show thread

for others, it's a way of connecting to the culture & feeling included. I don't miss Dunkaroos, nor do I miss my childhood, but the Dunkaroos remind me of my childhood, and knowing that many others feel the same way helps me feel more immersed in the shared culture.
