I Hate That The "Gen Alpha Can't Read." Conversation So Much Because People Are Taking This As A Chance

I hate that the "Gen Alpha can't read." conversation so much because people are taking this as a chance to call children stupid and their parents monsters instead of having a very real discussion about how the education system is flawed by design, covid fucked up everything socialization wise, these parents having little access to child care and more work hours leads them to lean on things like tablets and phones to watch their kids more and more, teachers are more overworked and underpaid than ever leading to them leaving the profession in droves and that's only like the surface level issues. There's a myriad of factors at play here, not just that "The kids are spoiled screen-addicted brats with no imagination and their parents are childish spoiled millennials who just let coco melon handle everything."

I wanna kiss my friends

yes trans people can be hot and sexy and cute but most importantly they're normal. yes fat people can be hot and sexy and cute but most importantly they're normal.
