Mom's Mandelbrot - Desserts - Biscotti These sliced chocolate and almond cookies are the Jewish equivalent to biscotti. It was handed down through three generations. I added the mini chocolate chips. The cookies are twice baked, first in logs and then in slices.
the whole “i used to be a teen who hated authority only to grow up to become the authority that hates teens” is a bad bad thing that practically every other generation has fallen into and we all need to make an extremely conscious effort not to repeat the fucking pattern
Learned Behaviour
His dad was abusive. Violent. And his father before him.
Once he asked his dad for money for a field trip and his dad threw him into a wall so hard he went through the drywall and ended up in his sister's closet.
He wasn't born with these skills.
His mother told him when he was in highschool that regardless of what happened, she would always back her husband over him.
He wasn't born cold.
I know exactly where he comes from.
Hmm. I'm mid-Millennial, and my mom has always identified as a Boomer based on the parents-coming-home-from-war narrative about that generation (interestingly, my dad never did, although by Wikipedia’s cutoff birth year of 1964, he definitely counts too, and not a late Boomer, either). Using the wildly unscientific method of looking around at childhood friends, I’d guess there would be plenty of Millennials with Boomer parents, although probably more with Gen X parents.
Does it work anymore to say that one generation is automatically the parent generation of the next? I’d assume the usual method of calculating generations works less reliably now that having children in one’s late 30s and even early 40s is increasingly common. Wikipedia lists 1982 as the start date for Millennials, which is just an 18-year age gap between youngest Boomers and oldest Millennials. Double that (36) would still fall within a plausible range of childbearing ages.
i don’t really think the relationship between generation z and millennials is comparable to the relationship between baby boomers and millennials
mostly because largely speaking. baby boomers are the parents of millennials but millennials aren’t the parents of generation z
as we all know the cutoff age for millennials ending and gen z beginning is very blurred and changes depending on whom u ask. so i propose a new generation. if ur born after 1995 but before 2005 ur part of this new one and i propose we call it generation meme

Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of the Month
Hello All, According to my calendar today is the first day of Summer. And boy was it a scorcher since I took my weekly walk today to refresh my body and soul. I stepped out around 4:30 pm in the afternoon and the sun was like 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Just here in my part of Florida on the Gulf of Mexico side of the peninsula. I've been walking on a consistent basis for a year now and today's walk had me in a grip of exhaustion under the sun. This was even with my canteen of water, sunscreen, and cap worn. Today's trio of "Jewels of Truth" spiritual wisdom statements are on the topics of: Truth, the Generations, and Manifesting through a prayer request. In the series of #1078-1080 of this automatic writing discourse with my / our Angels as an Oracle myself. May you enjoy the spiritual channeled material and may it take you into expanded reflections within. ------------------------------------------------ Truth: 1078) God as the silent Immaculate witness is the ultimate truth to be experienced as the Alpha, the Mu (Middle), and the Omega. God is a deity of deities like no other that is omnipresent with an omniscient in knowing everything as his own truthful being. There can be pain and suffering in knowing the truth when it is used as a blunt instrument with the intention to harm. Truth can also heal a mind and a heart that needs wise closure and compassion. Truth can be offered freely or it can come at a premium expense dependent on the giver. Truth offers balance when there is chaos and disorder. Truth comes always before peace in settling a troubled mind and in bringing to a close a difficult resolution. Truth can be serious and humorous depending on what is disclosed and shared. The truth offers sanity during a troubled time as well as relief during events of good news. Where truth is in your midst there is also God(dess) upon you with an absolute gaze of compassion. Surrender the need and want to lie or tell complete half-truths that cause trouble and discord among a few or the many. Set each other free with the truth and therein lies your salvation. As it will be your personal heaven in a resounding total metaphysical truth as life becomes fulfilled in you. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. Generations:
1079) When societies commit errors or blatant atrocities as crimes against the State and the people therein. Then only time as a witness can offer another forthcoming generation of souls an opportunity to alter for themselves the path of destiny. It is whether to commit the same prior mistakes of their forefathers. Or be brave enough to cast their lots into the courageous unknown. This is being willing to heal the past by trial and error so as to improve upon the present altogether. To be nearly ready when hopefully moving as a collective society into the future together in near peace. Where those children as the descendants of the forefathers that denied their society at large justice and dignity by pursuing hypocrisies. Need to choose once again to be villains themselves set by the examples of their forefathers. Or consciously become the righteous generation in order to usher in a new era of blessings and miracles.
Where one generation refuses to learn and move onward by committing the same mistakes time and again. It is up to their children to mend the ways of past discord in order to offer salvation to each other. Where several missed opportunities of the forefathers became lessons learned by the children of the next generation. Offering up a renewed round of fresh opportunities to be seized with a bold and crisp truth recognizing mutual prosperity is at hand. Time can only heal when it has a living and willing partner in a society for a people who seek better for themselves in every era. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. Manifesting:
1080) When seeking to manifest by grace any need or want through the "Holy Spirit" of God. There is an alternative to traditional supplicating prayer in doing so, it is within a tranquil meditation on what you seek. However the power utilized is truly unconditional love expressed in moderation in how you envision the darling of your request in Spirit. Do not ever gaze or affirm on what you do not want with petty complaints. Instead discipline your mind by focusing with patience on what will aid you. So as to manifest with your divinity what is already yours in the "Holy Spirit".
If you catch yourself slipping up or wandering away in focus then re-center your attention using gratitude to God. For your need and want is already manifested in heaven spiritually speaking. No matter if that moment of time has yet to occur as a circumstance. You are purposely linking your divine spirit to the eternal in order to manifest your request in the "Now" or the near present tense. Try using contemplation by only generalizing on the details of what you seek with your mind and heart. Keep it simple, do not overly complicate the request with obtuse rituals or phrases as affirmations. Whereby practice surrender after you complete your observation in visualized details. It will be like releasing your request to God and the Angels in your spiritual midst. Only use a sweet and gentle affirmation when you grow impatient in order to remind you to be mindful and to surrender once more in spirit. Make good on any opportunities that present themselves to you. Be constructive with your actions to your faith as a devoted partner with the "Holy Spirit" in a splendid union.
Any selfish requests may seldom be honored by the "Will of God". Unless it is used to teach you a dear lesson with hardship in your own soulful personal development. Never ever tell the Angels as the agents of the "Holy Spirit" how to complete in every iota a prayer request. It is like telling a genius or a master artisan how to do their job, or in this sacred case their living bliss. There is very little humility in such a bossy act. Always remember to gaze like staring into the reflective mirror of your energized soul lovingly with gratitude upon your request. Do not then negate under the next breath by dwelling with recriminations or fears on what you do not want. Do not broadcast that as your most ardent desire upon a neutral metaphysical reality instead. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. ---------------------------------------
I can feel guilty about the past, apprehensive about the future, but only in the present can I act. The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness. ---Abraham Maslow.
In the stillness of the quiet, if we listen, we can hear the whisper of the heart giving strength to weakness, courage to fear, hope to despair. ---Howard Thurman.
Never be so focused on what you're looking for that you overlook the thing you actually find. ---Ann Patchett.
The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. ---W.H. Murray.
May he grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill all your plans. ---Psalm 20:4

Thanks pappy. 😠 https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ2MBu8uD-m/?utm_medium=tumblr
Boomers: Life is great! What a wonderful world! Those kids better not ruin my day.
Millenials: The world is kinda harsh, but the adversity is what makes life interesting! The future is bright.
Gen Z: everything is awful, nothing matters, and I want to die
I don't know which makes me happier, the beautiful display of linguistic instinct regarding the semantic sensitivities of context (lexical and human), or the recognition of what I believe to be one of the biggest plagues on modern human thought: the inability to allow other people a different identity and point of view.
Lmao you’re an adult, you shouldn’t be using the word squick. Use trigger. Use your grown up adult words to explain how you feel instead of leaning on a cutesy uwu term that no one outside of tumblr uses. It’s embarrassing.
Idek if this is serious or ironic honestly
Sometimes if you want change you have to be the change that makes a way for the minority
This is important!
Spend some time and read this well-written article here. I applaud the whole group for being socially aware and aspiring for change.
And I especially applaud our precious Yoongi for being so brave at expressing his thoughts and support in terms of problems of the youth, mental health and being LGBQT+ . South Korea is still a conservative country and BTS has to deal with a lot of exposure and criticism for everything they say and do. But Yoongi still went and made sure he was heard, he made himself perfectly clear standing proudly behind his words. That requires real strength and bravery!
Yoongi:
“.. I hope we can create an environment where we can ask for help, and say things are hard when they’re hard, and say that we miss someone when we miss them.”
“There’s nothing wrong.(being LGBQT+) Everyone is equal.”
So what occurs to me is that Baby Boomers/Gen X and Millennials/Gen Z (the cutoffs are a little arbitrary, but bear with me) both grew up in the shadow of extinction, but have had qualitatively different experiences of it.
For the Boomers, the big fear was a sudden, violent catastrophe; nuclear war. US and Soviet ships start shooting at each other off the coast of Cuba; someone, somewhere in the huge and ponderous Cold War military apparatus, mistakes a meteor for an incoming ICBM, and just like that, your world is over. You're always just one bad day away from death on an unimaginable scale.
This fear has never really gone away (and certainly it's had something of a revival, recently), but it went into remission after the end of the Cold War. For Millennials, the overwhelming fear isn't of a sudden catastrophe, it's of a death by a million cuts; global warming. A slow decay growing faster; a downward spiral as everything you love and value crumbles and rots and turns to garbage around you.
When what you fear is a sudden catastrophe, normalcy--"business as usual", abstracting maybe a few reforms of the political systems--becomes a refuge. It could all be gone in a flash, but at least it's here now. It's real, it's solid. You can live in it, while it's standing.
When what you fear is a slow rot, "business as usual" becomes part of the horror. You're not escaping anything; you notice things getting worse around you with every passing summer; even worse, you are--however infinitesimally--assisting in your own demise; slowly and thoughtlessly, you are weaving the rope that will be used to hang you. Normalcy becomes your executioner.
isn't it weird that between the ages of ~20 and late 30s/ 40s, unless you have teenagers in the house or work with them, it's hard to know what they're really like? because of course you're in touch with teenagers when you are one, and then you generally start to know/ be around more once people your age have older kids. i've been seeing a ton of press lately about gen alpha and younger gen z and it's peculiar to not be able to compare it with personal experience.
as kind of a side thought, it's also weird to think that i and people in my age range might interact with gen alpha/ young gen z way more than we realize through social media, but they are homogenized into the ageless everyman of the comment section. maybe that isn't the case though, i suspect my feeds are generally pretty isolated, but it's strange having limited means to find out.
i hadn't really considered any of this until i joined the r/teachers subreddit and found their accounts of teenage culture and emerging trends really interesting. some of today's teenagers' slang, tastes, behaviors and vibes as described in the posts are familiar but some are not, and that little knowledge gap seems to be where sensationalized headlines find a hold.
i'd think this pattern repeats roughly every 15-20 years. is this kind of generational window of oblivion a piece of how generations are distinguished from each other and define their identities? i imagine generations today in western countries are more isolated than at perhaps any other time in history, with the decline of multi-generational households, older average age of marriage and childrearing, and longer lifespans. i'm curious what kinds of cultural effects that might have, if any.
