Agree, I'm between millennials and Gen Z and I know what that means.
As I was waking up this morning, I had a moment of absolute clarity. We, as Millennials, are a generation abused: mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Yet we have failed to do something, something that was within our power to prevent. We failed to save the Gen Z kids from the same fate.
Gen Z has taken their abuse with stride, turned it to humor and nihilism. They’re fighting back on behalf of their brothers and sisters, the siblings of their generation. And all I could think this morning….
If they can motivate the Millennials, and get our generation to move our asses, actual change could happen. Together, the Millennial and Z generations are bigger than the Boomers and the generation prior. We could enact real, lasting change on the face of the country.
I just hope it happens sooner, rather than later.

“What’s perhaps most remarkable is that we can make a simple, mathematical relationship between a world’s mass and its orbital distance that can be scaled and applied to any star. If you’re above these lines, you’re a planet; if you’re below it, you’re not. Note that even the most massive dwarf planets would have to be closer to the Sun than Mercury is to reach planetary status. Note by how fantastically much each of our eight planets meets these criteria… and by how much all others miss it. And note that if you replaced the Earth with the Moon, it would barely make it as a planet.”
It was a harsh lesson in astronomy for all of us in 2006, when the International Astronomical Union released their official definition of a planet. While the innermost eight planets made the cut, Pluto did not. But given the discovery of large numbers of worlds in the Kuiper belt and beyond our Solar System, it became clear that we needed something even more than what the IAU gave us. We needed a way to look at any orbiting worlds around any star and determine whether they met a set of objective criteria for reaching planetary status. Recently, Alan Stern spoke up and introduced a geophysical definition of a planet, which would admit more than 100 members in our Solar System alone. But how does this stand up to what astronomers need to know?
As it turns out, not very well. But the IAU definition needs improving, too, and modern science is more than up to the challenge. See who does and doesn’t make the cut into true planetary status, and whether Planet Nine – if real – will make it, too!
Like OP said. A dystopian/horror movie... and I thought the Family Day was the worst thing alive, lol. The only thing left to me is staying positive and focusing on other things.
I've purposely avoided horror fiction in these days of pandemic because, you know, anxiety. However I feel the need to read horror is building up; for some reason, horror and sci-fi proved the best forms of escapism. I think it's because horror is very engrossing while sci-fi is about faraway galaxies so it does a great job taking you away from your sad current situation.
I'm still worried about the effects of reading horror on my psyche, especially because I'm pretty sure I'm repressing my feelings. I'm apparently ok but tonight I had my second quarantine dream and I woke up crying, which is something I don't remember ever happening before.
