     one theme of a lot of my idle musings these days is "the massive amount of trauma that the pandemic and the response to it caused, and our pervasively inadequate response to it, remains weirdly unaddressed even in the most progressive spaces despite how much society at large talked about the disease itself and even how much some people continue to do so. it sure would be neat to treat the unhealthy responses to that trauma somehow"

     I feel like there's a weird dynamic in Millennial vs. Zoomer discourse because most generations kind of gradually age and get to experience life stages (for lack of a better word) "naturally" whereas Millennials were squeezed on both sides, on one end late to start families and late to own homes (for those of us even lucky enough to do those things) thanks to 2008, and on the other by a pandemic where we entered it as Kids These Days and emerged from it as Olds while it seemed no time had passed
