Clearing out our storage unit, we found two boxes of vinyls from the late 80s, still in their plastic. I’m guessing around 150 or so.
This is going to be fun.
Tonight’s vinyl pics - a groovy 60s LP from The Ventures and Roam from the B-52s.
The B side has Bushfire which was a hit, too!
Looping some Saturday morning cartoon intro songs from the 80's and 90's. Grab your favorite cereal and relax!

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!??!?!?
am just columbusing that #ZohranMamdani is the son of Mira Nair.

HOW WAS I NOT TOLD ABOUT THIS?!?!??!?!?
🗣 MIRA NAIR IS ONE OF MOST IMPORTANT AND INFLUENTIAL #GENX #FEMINIST MOVIES & #DOCUMENTARY DIRECTORS YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD ABOUT
India Cabaret, Salaam Bombay and Mississippi Masala are masterpieces.
go read about Zohran’s momma and watch her #movies. this explains A LOT!
I've been here since the 2022 Great Twitter Exodus, and I've apparently never posted an #introduction, so…
I'm a #GenX techie who's lived in #Boston since the late 80's.
My 15 minutes of fame were being fired by #DOGE from #USDS early in 2025 and sounding the alarm in every media outlet that'd listen since nobody else was doing it. I'm not a fan of limelight, so I stopped when others took up the baton.
My politics are aggressively progressive and antifascist, and I post about them a lot.

It's kind of weird sitting next to old people at a table next to me talking about buying tickets to a Metallica/ Pantera show.

At work, when I test new systems and create accounts, I use names of fictional characters from books and tv. Recently, I used "Wolfman Jack" and my much younger team asked if that was a werewolf movie.
I had to explain Wolfman Jack was a DJ FROM THE 60s and 70s but he voiced an 80s Saturday morning cartoon called "Wolf Rock" where they showed music videos interspersed with a pretty bad scripted cartoon.
This is what we had for entertainment without cable.

#GenX mom of two #zillennials
ps: a lot of us GenX women who didn't embrace yuppie #feminism were called losers, sold outs, quitters. many of us lost careers to motherhood.
and this was not just in right-wing corporate settings. i had a “model minority” reject me for a position in a “progressive” non-profit because, “how can you give us 110% when you have two kids”.
zilennial #socialism is the finding out after fucking around a whole generation of GenX moms.
Written by an Australian, but applicable in many, many other countries.
"...Gen X was raised not to complain. We were the latchkey kids, the ones who let ourselves in after school and got on with it, and we have been getting on with it ever since. But you can only ask a generation to absorb so much before something gives."

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.
