It is so painful to watch. I want to transform the class into a safe space but they're scared of collective spaces.

...Millennials were in online communities acting like college students do, giving one another a hard time, while Gen Z kids were sort of free-exploring those college spaces and becoming terrified by the hazing/trolling. Something like this.

Millennials are generally earnest. It made social media work for a time I think. We received the trolling and shrugged because it was devoid of meaning. I'm just now learning the Gen Z kids were watching and became terrified they would be bullied. I'm not exactly sure how it all worked out except...

Eh also they’re young yet and are mirroring “good moral views” for benefits in this godforsaken economy

Fat bear week!!

Alas, I'm far too beautiful for this advice to help me in any way

Also women.

I love this! I am in history finishing my dissertation on ghost stories as a resistance archive so your affection for Gordon is what caught my eye!
