I am a Gen X, denying any relations with X owner

A Gen X Trekkie with Two Twitters and Zero Interest in Elon’s Space Sheet

Written by SueSue

Hi, I’m me—Generation X, the original analog-digital hybrid human. I grew up in a world where phones had cords, friendships required actual eye contact, and “streaming” was something your bathtub sometimes did wrong.

I proudly own two Twitter accounts. That’s right—two Twitters, both created long before Elon Musk rebranded it into "X" like a superhero’s angsty alter ego. Just to clarify: I have zero affiliation with him, his flamethrowers, or his high-speed tunnel tantrums.

Fun fact: My first career dream was to become an astronaut. Yep. I was obsessed with Star Trek, passionately in love with every character (even the ones who wore red shirts), and truly believed I was destined for the stars. I just didn’t think I’d need to be sponsored by a billionaire meme-lord to get there. So no, I’m not interested in working on his space sheet—I wanted the Enterprise, not SpaceXpress. 

Now, if you know me, you know I usually operate on the serious side of life—research, advocacy, policy, social justice. But somehow, this little burst of sarcasm and wit came to me naturally. Maybe it’s the Gen X dry humor finally sneaking through after all these years.

So if you're into smart conversations, human rights, education, women's voices, and a touch of galactic sarcasm, this is your place. Beam yourself in.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to rewatch The Next Generation and pretend I still might get recruited by Starfleet
