    GenX has never held any type of power, nor will they ever - not political, not economic, not financial. The Boomers were always like “Wait your turn”, but they never bothered turning anything over regardless of what we fought for, or how hard.

    And now the Millennials have come up on the other side. And I’m just so tired of fighting to make things happen, or even just to try to preserve things, that that’s okay. I did what I could to make things better, and I’m happy for a less weary cohort to take over.














  • Yeah, it’s just me now as well. I split a share with a friend for a few years, which was nice, we could pawn off anything we didn’t particularly care for on the other person. Mostly, it worked well - she loved beets, I hate them; I love garlic, she only wants like 2 bulbs a year.

    Then my farmers retired during the pandemic and I had to find a new farm. My new place offers 10 week shares: any ten weeks during the growing season, I can go and pick up a box, I don’t even have to notify them ahead of time. I cook as much as I can and freeze about half of it, then eat my way out over the winter.
