They were raised before smartphones shaped attention spans and before instant everything rewired expectations. People born before 1980 did not simply inherit cultural norms they were forged by them. This is not a generational eulogy. It is an argument for taking seriously the emotional freight older generations still tote around like invisible suitcases. 1. Loneliness … Read more

There is a quiet muscle in many people born in the 1960s. It is not a literal muscle. It is a tendency formed by odd jolts of history family habits and the slow accumulation of small fearless adjustments. This article is not an attempt to flatter a generation or to pin a tidy label on … Read more
