🇺🇲🇺🇦Because we Gen-X'ers all know the lyrics to Leonard Cohen's "Everybody Knows" by heart, none of this shit comes as a surprise to us.

Mx. Luna Corbden 🐸Wow, I paused this viewing for a very long time! It was so emotionally intense that I just didn't have capacity to finish. But Hulu expires tomorrow, so I'm catching up on the remaining hour.
They get into the feminism aspect, and the backlash, and the impact the fair had on the music industry, most of which I had no idea. The fair was a star-maker, with the careers of Jewel, Shawn Colvin, and many others basically being made by the tour. These acts swept the Grammys as a bloc. It was girl power in action. One of many ways powerful activism can manifest.
Anyone who didn't live through that as an adult, who wants to understand the zeitgeist of the 90s, GenX attitudes, and some of the context of today's social justice, might appreciate really appreciate watching it.
I know the words to at least half the songs played in this documentary, because this music was on the radio constantly, and much of that exposure and success was simply because Sarah McLachlan decided to make a women-only music festival. That music affected me deeply, and without it, I might never have escaped religious fascism.
And oh how my heart aches that I decided not to go. And that society somehow lost this. Sorrow for what could have been.

Nevar23Farewell to the "Mouth of the South" Ted Turner. LBD is an awful way to go.
What a huge presence Ted was in Georgia when I was a kid. When his name came up back then it was kind of like that uncle that makes you half roll your eyes and sigh with either exasperation or indulgence. I have conflicted feelings about the man. I do appreciate his environmental philanthropy.
WTCG was the best channel and was usually the left on in the background at our house.
Sweet Home Alaberta 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ 🇲🇽Gen X made many positive social changes that are actively being undone now. Obviously not perfect, but we helped women break off their chains, collectively (and expensively) eliminated measles and polio, same-sex marriage, helped make fathers out of breadwinners, etc.
But Gen X utterly failed on economic policy by allowing the lies of the neoliberals to fool us into voting for conservative/liberal agents of oligarchy.
I apolologize for not being able to convince enough thick skulls that trickle down and privatization were obviously bunkus.

Matthias@svenkaemper Gibt es überhaupt noch Journalisten? Ich empfinde es mittlerweile so, dass man von jedem Medium mit Meinung zugedröhnt wird. Bin ja schon etwas älter #GenX und vermisse den sachlichen Bericht, so wie früher. 🤷
