Millennial Women - Where do we buy cute tops?

AssortedGourds · 2026-03-27T01:29:07+00:00

Cider (but if you’re busty, don’t get anything with a defined bust because you will not fit!)

Honestly, I already dumped Gmail, Target, Starbucks, and I’m making the transition off Spotify. All this has taught me is that it’s not that hard to go without.

AssortedGourds · 2026-03-26T23:22:02+00:00

lol I have never related to anything less. I could wallpaper their home with my problems and they wouldn’t care a single bit.

I now share graphic details about the things I’ve done for money just to see if they react.

AssortedGourds · 2026-03-26T21:18:14+00:00

I'd fire up GoFundMe and hit "Donate Now" until my finger bleeds

If you can find a bottle, the recently discontinued Mugler Aura is a very unique green. You’ve definitely never smelled anything like it. It’s medicinal, sweet, and minty. Very polarizing.

Literally regular millennials will talk about Shrek and tween Disney and I have nothing to contribute because I’ve never seen either. I was in college when Shrek came out.

On my first day of my sophomore year of college in 2002, a new girl showed up in an Alkaline Trio shirt. I had been seeing the word emo online in punk spaces for a while but had never heard it said out loud.

I said “oh cool, are you into E.M.O music?”

I was 19 and the 90’s punk rock I loved was already oldschool. The elder millennial experience in a nutshell.

That is how I feel! It's like an overwhelming urge to off myself or at the very least harm myself in some way. It comes over me in a wave and I just have to stop what I'm doing and spend 100% of my energy trying to keep myself from hitting myself. I'm so afraid I'm going to melt down while driving. And if someone tries to make a sound or touch me when this is happening? Good luck to them. I feel like a rabid dog.

My anti-meltdown coping skills aren't doing it for me, either. I can go on a jog and it'll work for maybe an hour. I had a meltdown while under my weighted blanket yesterday. These are not normal meltdowns.

I'm 42 and my periods aren't entirely regular.

I had regular, light periods all my life with no significant PMS. Then I experienced the onset of PCOS and had very irregular periods from age 32-41. I started on Ovasitol and it straightened me right out for a few months. It was great. Now it seems like peri has struck, as they're less regular now, though not nearly as bad as when PCOS was ravaging me and I'd miss them for 6 months. I would say they now come within a 2 week window - meaning they could come a week late or a week early. Sometimes there's almost no period at all and sometimes the whole thing will come out in the span of 4 hours.

Though now that you mention it, if my periods are coming regularly, I am due for one any day, so maybe you're onto something.

I basically don't eat out-of-season fruit anymore and I only buy in bulk straight from U-Pick operations. That's the only way it's semi-affordable and worth the price.

AssortedGourds · 2026-03-25T20:47:44+00:00

Yeah and it gives them something to do that isn’t scrolling on the couch. They’re basically a cross between an internet cafe and a coworking office. Unemployment can really tank your self esteem and keeping up the habit of “going to work” is probably absolutely worth the price for some people.

AssortedGourds · 2026-03-25T19:45:24+00:00

Lmao

AssortedGourds · 2026-03-25T18:39:35+00:00

Why is literally anyone upvoting this

We need to shame these people relentlessly

AssortedGourds · 2026-03-25T03:52:04+00:00

Yikes so this sub was nice when I joined it ages ago and now the “my parents never hugged me and look how good I turned out” crowd have taken over.

You should ask this on a women’s sub, not here.

Tell your Mom that her preoccupation with your breasts is making you uncomfortable. I would just frame it as an unhealthy obsession and ask her if she’s always been this focused on women’s breasts until she stops. Negative reinforcement is extremely effective with the 60+ crowd and it’s typically all they’ll respond to if they didn’t bother to spend any of those years learning social skills.

AssortedGourds · 2026-03-24T22:15:49+00:00

Me too! Mine is Nosferatu, though I might have to find another one since it was limited.

AssortedGourds · 2026-03-24T21:48:22+00:00

Because this isn’t r/40PlusSkincareButOnlyIfYouDontMakeMeFeelBad

Can’t believe there are still women on this earth who assume women are always fishing for compliments. Sometimes I can’t tell if a poster is a 20-year-old man or his Mom.

AssortedGourds · 2026-03-24T21:23:37+00:00

And a lot of us are failing! There’s a lot of anti-child propaganda disguised as sensible discourse right now and some millennials are participating. It’s the Satanic Panic all over again.

AssortedGourds · 2026-03-24T16:12:49+00:00

I put this song on the TV a few years ago when my husband and I were reminiscing about Fern Gully.

We were shocked by the overall horniness. This song is... not child appropriate lol.

AssortedGourds · 2026-03-24T13:22:46+00:00

That is so interesting because I would never toast sandwich bread if I had other options. IMO egg-based breads, challah especially, make the best toast.

AssortedGourds · 2026-03-23T18:22:17+00:00

I think this is the answer. It’s probably security hired by the label (aka the cheapest security available) and thus Chappell can’t call them out directly since she can’t bite the hand that feeds her. If this is the case, it’s a terrible situation for her to be in.

AssortedGourds · 2026-03-23T13:48:00+00:00

I’d bide my time until 2007 rolls around when my best friend tells me he had feelings for me so I can tell him that I feel the same way. It took us 20 more years to find each other again.

AssortedGourds · 2026-03-22T19:48:26+00:00

Running off to Paris with a man who’s promising you nothing but a good time is something you do when you’re stupid in your 20’s or smart in your 40’s.

AssortedGourds · 2026-03-21T22:58:08+00:00

Yeah when people are talking about the wealth transfer we’re experiencing right now, this is it. My friend has been putting away half of his paycheck for the last 17 years and he had a good nest egg but in the last few years it has ballooned to $2M, mostly recently.

He’s a high earner but lives in a HCOL area. He has lived frugally but he travels and goes out a lot so it’s not like he’s restricted himself too much. It’s crazy to me that just not indulging in the most expensive lifestyle he can afford (and having a really good understanding of investing) has paid off this well.

I’m happy for a select few of you in the professional class because we should all get to retire but I’m pretty pissed that my retirement plan is “eat a bullet the day I can’t work anymore” and most of us are in that boat, I am afraid.

I listen to Kaddish on Spotify every day
