...When you’re 52, the Korean War begins. When you’re 64, the Vietnam War begins and ends when you’re 75. A child born in 1985 thinks his grandparents have no idea how difficult life is, but they have survived several wars and catastrophes. ~Perspective

Why do so many old ppl act like they don’t know what happened in the past or they act like what we know about history is “not really how it went down” Lots of white American adults act like this

Great grandparents at least. Likely a distant memory by adulthood if you ever met them at all.

Did you see that sky today? @talkabout.bsky.social

I think this would describe the great grandparents of most people born in 1985
