micropainterOMG I cannot stop laughing. Generation Z freaking ROCKS.
Likely Jan Lukas@micropainter Fabulous. β€οΈπ
50sFarmGirl π¨π¦@micropainter OMG! Love that kid!
Idealistic Pragmatist 
@micropainter I hate to say it, but...if she's currently "like 12", then she'd have been born in 2011 (or so), which would make her part of the generation that comes AFTER Generation Z π¬β https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Alpha
Suzanne Paley@IPEdmonton @micropainter The tweet is 3 years old...
Amy (she/her/hers)@IPEdmonton @micropainter I've seen alpha defined within start_Ξ± = { 2010, 2012, 2015 } so π€·ββοΈ
paprikapink@micropainter I remember seeing this when it happened. Such a great story. Ah, old twitter. It wasn't all hellsite all the time.
Scott π΄π·@micropainter It really bothers me that at no point in this interaction did anyone think about the fact that this whole story is framed around a child who is being exploited for her labor?
Powen Shiah@scott @micropainter No, the Girl Scouts sell cookies to develop entrepreneurial skills and financial literacy. The funds go primarily to support their "troop," local org. While I'm sure there are different levels of engagement with it, I don't think it's exploitation.

AndreaAs funny as it might seem (and regardless which generation she now belongs to exactly) - all I see here is a probably 12 year old kid, who is already forced to be able to deal with adult men behaving inappropriately towards her.
And that is neither funny nor cool.
Chris Heller@micropainter @cstross this is cinema
Eva Chanda@micropainter IKR? They're not snowflakes at all , they just refuse to put up with bullsh!t, whether it's sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, the climate crisis, exploitative employers , etc. As a #GenX embarrassed by how passive & accepting of neoliberalism I was in my youth, I also think #GenZrocks !
Christy Marx@micropainter We need her for President.
Chickgonebad@micropainter I was a Girl Scout. The Girl Scouts are like the Marine Corps. Once you're a Girl Scout, you always are, and we do not play.
CavyherdI've heard amazing things about the women of the Marine Corps so: apt comparison!
LG Media@micropainter This fills me with hope.
Matthew Wilson@micropainter Oh, wow, I did not expect that punchline πΆ
brother soul@micropainter screamingggggggggg
Samhain Night@micropainter Very cool! But I think 12 is a little young for Gen Z?
Mike Stevens 
@samhainnight the last of gen Z were born around 2012, according to Pew Research Centre, but there's always crossover I guess. As a 1980 baby, I'm the last of Gen X (again according to Pew) but obviously my life experiences are the same as that of older Millennials. π€·ββοΈ
@mikestevens Which is funny to me because when I was little in the 1970βs I was told I was on the tail end of Gen X. But I suppose it depends on who you ask.
StreetFur@micropainter every new generation gets roasted by the priors for being entitled and lazy. Gen Z does not deserve that standard line, they're great. The kids are alright and I as a millennial will insult anyone who says differently.

I may gently tease about "GenZ things" sometimes, but they're going to damn well save us all.
