It wasn’t boomers who made it impossible to survive on a librarian or gardener’s salary - it was rich people. 

Plenty of boomers work as librarians, teachers, gardeners, and so forth, and are finding that as the cost of living skyrockets and corporations take over more and more of the world, that their salary is no longer able to support them.

And thus you have boomers - who understand how much you want to be a librarian because they also work as librarians - going bankrupt, losing their homes, drowning in debt, and dying because of unaffordable healthcare. And they get why you’re becoming an IT specialist instead of a librarian - because they! Know! That you can’t survive! On a librarian’s salary anymore!

On the flip side, the rich people sucking money out of every service and person they can! Aren’t! Always! Boomers! Tons of them are Gen X! And an increasing number are millennials! I haven’t seen a Gen Z billionaire yet but I’m willing to bet there’s a couple by now!

Oh, and it’s not like they “don’t know” how much people want to do these sorts of jobs - they do! That’s how they justify underpaying people, because it’s your passion, you don’t ~need~ to be paid a living wage for your passion.

You have more in common with poor boomers than you do with Kylie Jenner (born 1997). Go and talk to them. Organize with them. You’ll find they have a lot to offer once you stop dismissing them as rich old folks who ruined the economy.

As someone with a super leftist boomer father I feel this

the general population’s education of indigenous american cultures is literally painful like people walk around not knowing that native americans domesticated dogs and turkeys, that many communities had farms that stretched for hundreds of miles, that many communities had completely terraformed their territories, that there were native trade systems stretching across the continent, that there were native metalsmiths before european arrival, that most native people were multilingual etc

also fed up with peoples assumption that sedentary cultures were “more advanced”. like sure, they had technology that hunter gatherer cultures didn’t, but that’s because the hunter gatherer cultures didn’t need those technologies. hunter gatherer cultures have their own ways of doing things, and they do it that way because it works for them. like what if i called you less advanced because you don’t know how to make a serrated arrowhead, and you don’t know how to work a bow drill or an atlatl or a long bow.

Hey, if you’re non-Native/not indigenous like me, I found this book to be helpful. It comes both as the original text for adult audiences and a version for young people that felt kinda like the history textbook I should have had in fourth-sixth grade.

I believe we currently have no evidence for a separate dog domestication event in the Americas, they likely traveled with humans onto the continent BUT what’s arguably even cooler is that Indigenous peoples of Tierra Del Fuego likely domesticated a completely DIFFERENT canid species, the culpeo! They’re called Fuegian dogs and were sadly eradicated by the europeans..

The llama, alpaca, turkey, fuegian dog, guinea pig, and muscovy duck were all domesticated by indigenous americans. In coastal British Columbia shellfish were farmed and harvested in sea gardens made from rocks and are thousands of years old. 

There were also pre-columbian chickens in south america that arrived via trade with polynesians, if you like the blue eggs of the araucana breed you should thank the Mapuche people of Chile!

And that’s not even including the domesticated plants that have become staple ingredients in cuisines across the globe. Potatoes, tomatoes, corn, and chili peppers are all the work of indigenous american agriculture.
