Having watched way too much #scifi as a #genx #latchkeykid, I always thought these beauties belong in a #drwho episode.

in the 90s, we still had enough living greatest generation people to hold off the breaching armies of gingrich & limbaugh.
after they started to die, the silents, nonradicalized boomers (the majority), & the farmer's latchkeykid genx were able to strip the new deal for parts.

I wasn’t sure I still had this after almost 40 years but… And yes, I did heat it up on the stove when I was about 12 #latchkeykid How I got it I don’t even remember

Solid. Love it.

@achronicvoice.com maps "parts work" clean and clear.

#LatchKeyKid translation:

"Angry girl protector" = GI Joe Kung-fu grip that mastered taking bullets

"Inner child" = body remembering safety before the white-knuckle default

"Adult self" = finally stepping off the X

From a fellow GenX - #LatchkeyKid, they're both adults so they can do what they want. As an adult now, I would be worrying about both.

It was our main source of heating when I was a child. In fact, my parents didn't get central heating until after I had left home in the 1970s. I often had to light the fire if there was no-one in when I got home from school. #LatchKeyKid

So weird I just said "Maximilian" I guess it's way buried in my memory banks from The Black Hole @ultradamno.bsky.social I'm diving in Imma watch this bad boy. I think we had a story book vinyl record as kids. #Disney #1970sCinema #TheBlackHole #Latchkeykid #cinema #sci-fi #space #aesthetic

Could this Disney classic possibly have been an influence on such sci-fi horror staples as Event Horizon and Pandorum ? Read on to see how this strange, creepy, and bizarre film isn’t quite you...

Being one of the "poor" kids I had to figure out how to sneak into places and make my own fun.

Another thing Gen X was a grand champion at @caffeineislife.bsky.social was depressive music. Guess we found out what happened when you made your 9-year-old cook his own dinner LOL #latchkeykid

Life just hit different back then. Sad my kids never got these opportunities to the degree I did.

What was your favorite afterschool snack?

Mine was a jelly jelly sandwich and 2 sliced oranges! I really thought I was a big kid cutting up oranges by myself at 7. #latchkeykid

In this fantasy sure. But fr, my parents never had a single adult conversation with me nor did they ever share advice or “feelings” #latchkeykid

I learned how to please a woman, by listening and paying attention to women.
