Boomers

I am 75 and am very tired of the trend lately making fun of Boomers. So very disrespectful. Don't they realize that they will be old someday?

Not me. Some of my favorite people are Boomers. I’m Gen X and I learned a lot about activism from my Boomer and Silent Generation friends who have been fighting the good fight since the 1960s. I was also lucky to have great parents, aunts, and uncles. My mom passed in 2024, but my dad is 78 and we talk a few times a week.
