Millennial Sisyphus keeps entering all the information from his resume into the web form, only for it to delete everything when he tries to move to the next page. He just goes back and types it all up again, over and over again, forever, and he never gets a job.

Millennial Tantalus has been promised that his unpaid internship will become a paid position as soon as the company has space for him. Every week he sees their new job posting. Every week he asks his boss if he can have a real job. The boss shrugs apologetically and says he’ll just have to make do with being paid in experience a little longer. He goes back and keeps working, over and over again, forever, and he never reaches the fruits of his labors.

Millennial Persephone can’t get a job without a degree, but because she had to take out loans to pay for college, she must spend 1/3 of her life working just to pay them off.

Millennial Cassandra’s title is Social Media Coordinator, she was hired to be the expert, but every time she tries to explain the problems in her company’s social media decisionmaking, the managers don’t listen…and end up hiring expensive PR flacks to repair the damage to their reputation when things blow up exactly as she predicted.

Millennial Medusa uses multiple shades of primer and opaque foundation to cover the scars snaking across her face, hiding the bruises, aligning the asymmetry in her broken nose and jaw. Red matte on the lips, green shimmer on the lids. Flawless liner on the first try. She’s had lots and lots of practice. She films her transformation in secret for all to see and learn, and again, men are turned to anonymous stone faces screaming in horror. “Liar!” “Witch!” “Take her swimming on the first date!” These words do not discourage her. These words are a challenge. GlamGorgonXx posts another video.

Millennial Prometheus uploads another PDF to his site. He’s lost track of the printing and edition of this textbook. He knows they just rearranged some of chapters then charge 150 dollars per copy, and the professor wrote the book himself. the ZIP fills uploads successfully, and he starts uploading the next one. He isn’t afraid of the potential lawsuit. knowledge shouldn’t held out of reach like this. 

Millennial Circe screenshots all the lewd messages she gets from men on online dating sites and posts them on her very popular Instagram along with their pictures and usernames. When people accuse her of attempting to destroy their reputations, she insists she’s just revealing them for the pigs they truly are.

Milennial Pandora opens an email in her spam box. Oh, what’s this link? She clicks on it. Suddenly viruses and lags spread over her computer.

I am not surprised that anti-choice zealots would hypocritically obtain abortions, but I am thoroughly fucking shocked that they wouldn’t even attempt to hide their anti-choice views when doing so.

It’s not just anti-choice women—their husbands are often open to or even insistent upon abortion when it’s their wives or girlfriends. I used to know a woman whose boyfriend was adamantly anti-abortion but who freaked out and demanded she get one when she had a pregnancy scare… which he justified with, among other things, “I don’t want you to be fat during the wedding”.

Hey so being attracted to men isn’t worse than being attracted to non-men and it’s not something you have to show disgust over or “make up for” or say you hate. This kinda rhetoric is literally just homophobia but make it woke and it directly harms mlm so can we please stop it

Queer men haven’t put up with decades of being told that liking men is gross and you should hate being attracted to men just to have that exact same sentiment thrown at us from people in our own community and this absolutely includes queer women who are attracted to men

nblm too. it’s just terf rhetoric, there’s nothing inherently wrong with being a man/being attracted to men

Something about being able to eat a fruit without worrying about the mess. Climbing out of the ocean and just biting into the biggest peach of your life and letting it drip all over your face and body. You can just get back into the ocean afterward to rinse off. Freeing.

one thing about derry girls that will never get old is that the 4-girls-and-a-boy group dynamic is so much more true to life and universal than the inverse, though the inverse is somehow 900 times as popular in fiction

On that note, this guy’s anonymity went so far that the other actors on Game of Thrones didn’t know that he was the drummer from Coldplay (source: Fire Cannot Kill a Dragon by James Hibberd)
