An Intro to Devin

Hi, I’m Devin - one of your founding exhausted millennials.

Here I am at the lackluster and soul-crushing age of 30 and am just realizing that my parents taught me wrong all along. They bred me with the farm-town ideals of hard work and respect - and now I’m starting to resent them for not correctly teaching me to just marry a rich, aging man.

Just kidding . . . kind of. Ok, not really at all. My children will learn the value of a trust fund.

Just kidding - I’m not having children. They’re expensive and increase my carbon footprint.

In some respects, I’m an anomaly millennial. I have a good-paying job with a boss who respects me. I own a house and am fairly emotionally stable (thank you therapy!). I have two dogs who are the the light of my life and the destroyers of everything I own. I’m engaged to a lovely man who (usually) brings out the best in me.

But - I’m disillusioned. Exhausted. Even though I have a “good job,” that still means I’m expected to put work first, to give them seat time no matter how I feel or if I’ll be productive, and to proceed with everyday in an hours-measured grind. I live in a country where we elected an openly bigoted con artist as our President. The planet is falling apart because society is too short-sighted and selfish to make sacrifices for the greater good. Billions of animals are subjected to torturous conditions to give us unnecessary ephemeral satisfaction and I’m still tagged as “weird” or “too much” for being vegan.

That brings us here. I needed a place to create, rant, and joke about how hard it is to try to be a decent person in today’s world. I really hope you enjoy the content that we make and that it brings you joy - or at least a sense of solidarity in this hard world.
