Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

As a millennial I think we tried to follow the life plan set out by boomers that was sabotaged by boomers, realized it didn't work, tried to change it, failed, then lowered our ambitions and are now just trying to survive while making things at least a little bit better.
That sounds completely spot-on. Doesn't help that we were "guaranteed" their formula would work for us and then it didn't, at all.
