Dear Gen X: Please go get tested for measles immunity. Every single one of my friends who was tested at various points in their life (started working at a hospital, went back to school, etc) found they had no immunity. I just found out myself, and it's probably been like that for a long time. I got a shot a few days ago. #measles #GenX #PSA

I had my MMR titers checked at the end of last year. One M (measles) and the R (rubeola) were fine... but I had no immunity for the other M (mumps). So I went in and got an MMR vaccination shot. Easy peasy.

I keep having this little revelation, when I see recent photos of actors I've grown up watching:

"Man, they're getting old.

Wait a minute... that means I'm getting old..."

Excellent Public Service Announcement.

#GenX, our vintage is all part of this cohort and it's worth checking. Most of us should be re-vaccinated against measles, UNLESS a test shows a robust titre (you're still "immune").

We have all of these risks:
-- older first-generation vaccine less enduring
-- SOME bodies just lose immunity over time
-- we now know that measles and more recently Covid both have the effect of dampening immunity you previously HAD developed
-- measles is back.

@Alice I'm sorry to interrupt, but all I can concentrate on in this photo is the wallpapered light switch that matches the overhead stairs.

This brings back early #GenX memories. I think at one point, we may have even had that same wallpaper print. LOL

I'll be 51 years old, on February 3rd, 2026. I don't feel my age 😆

Photo is of me, paralyzed at #RefugeesCamp & me as an adult, decades later.

Black and white artistic photograph split horizontally, featuring my face. The upper portion shows my eyes open, with dark eyeliner and mascara. The lower portion displays my face with eyes closed, lips slightly parted in a subtle smile.

Despite being a great fan of the #SexPistols, #TheClash, #GenX and their predecessors. my impression is that #DrFeelgood actually invented #Punkrock, and nobody took care.

Listen to these guitar riffs, ain't that true?

A black and white photograph depicts a young person standing indoors, with a blurry background. The person is facing forward, looking directly at the camera with a slightly puckered mouth. They are wearing a long-sleeved shirt and dark pants. The background features a vertical striped pattern, possibly a wall or curtain. The image appears to be a candid shot, potentially from an older era due to the grainy quality and style.

The text on the image reads: “Rare photo of a remote control from the 70’s”.

A screen cap from the famous 1990s commercial where Sally Struthers hawks a correspondence school that offers diplomas by mail. The opening line was famous “do you want to make more money? Sure we all do.”

Can someone please explain what was so unbearably "inefficient" that we had to ruin every single interaction with a computer with the worst possible solution to any problem?

For real, what problem has been solved? I keep hearing about the "need" for AI like we were some hapless kitchen idiot in a 1980s infomercial that needed a vegetable curler or whatever.
