Bruit blanc

Le nouveau #Mouais (mars-avril 2025) est paru, avec un dossier consacré aux questions inter-générationnelle. Retrouvez l’édito de Lou Is On, adolescente d’aujourd’hui portant un regard vif et lucide sur notre époque: «Alors oui, dans ce monde où désormais tout va trop vite, peut-être avons-nous plus de mal à nous mélanger, nous, les différentes #générations ».

Continued thread

Younger people are more likely to identify as LGBT.

In fact, a higher percentage of each generation identifies as LGBT than the one that came before.

This generational pattern has been true every time Gallup has surveyed US adults about their sexualities and gender identities.

Looking at options to share this #mondayMorning and came across this old screen shot when I was trying to determine the generational monikers of my students...

I love that Generation X < raises hand> was also called "BabyBust" - just makes me chuckle...

Most of my students are Gen Z, with a few Millennials for that "mature student" ranking...

And I think a few are whatever comes after Gen Z... what comes next for those folk born 2011 onwards?

「 Bring back #decades 」 is @adamconover petition when he insists on how #words can shape our views on #society. And indeed, #language is a sociological - and sometimes political - tool to create confusion where everything should be clear, or to dig gaps where people should be closer. Question remains: who needs #generations to fight against each other when they could reconcile and gather against them?

I don't like the whole generation divide thing. It feels like just another way to split people up instead of having us in community and working together. You know the whole boomers do this, millennials that, alpha over here. Yes, we have differences. We grew up in times that gave us different challenges, necessities, and possibilities. But our differences should be complimentary not dividing.

We should be able to value the skills in each other and support each other with them. For example, I wish I had paid a lot more attention to my Gran when she gardened because I could really use that knowledge now in the face of our exorbitant grocery prices. There are things I could have helped her with too, things I can navigate more easily than she could. I hope my nephews and nieces and I can help each other out with things as we grow too.

I feel like there's not much more scary to leaders than people of different generations working together. Hard to just pin something on one generation and get everyone else to hate on them when we're all here.

Millennials are set to inherit tons of their parents' stuff — whether they want it or not
Older generations spent their lives accumulating furnishings, china and tiny sombreros they bought on vacation in Mexico. Now, a lot of that stuff is being handed down to the next gen, whether they want it or not.
