Shout-out to Boomers today!
The people who fought for no-fault divorce, plus women's right to credit, access to contraception, & legal abortion.
The people out picketing against nuclear winter before it was cool (pun intended), & who tried so hard to stop unjust wars in other eras.
Who endured other recessions & rallied for workers' rights.
Who were present at Stonewall, & did SO much to fight for inclusivity.
Ageist thinking distracts us from the real destroyer of lives. #NotHere #NotCoSo
Follow-up question! 👀
Who's a Boomer you think doesn't get talked about enough for the work they did, the contributions they made, or just the way they lived their one precious life?
They can be someone in a major public-facing role, someone who left us too soon, or someone in your community / family who makes you proud to know them.
With over 8 billion people now on this fragile pale blue dot, we always have *so* much more to learn from each other.
So who's your pick?
@MLClark I generally don't like to guess at ages. Grandpa Ishy (Ishihara) was a positive force of change here but he left to tend to his mental and physical well being. He lived through the Vietnam war, the Japanese consintration camps in the US and through so much change of the 60's and 70's as a war vet. I don't know where he is today but I wish him the best of health and good times in his twilight years.
