I'm a Xennial. It is the ‘modern’ label for those of us who were born in the overlapping years of GenX and GenY (GenY is called Millennial today).

Those born between these years are Xennials:

• 1977–1985 according to Business Insider
• 1977‒1983 according to The Guardian
• 1977‒1982 according to Slate

The years of each generations:

• ???‒??? - The Ancients
• Anything between “The Ancients” and 1945 have different names, and is usually based on different Western countries.
• 1946‒1964 - Baby #Boomers
• 1965‒1985 - #GenX
• 1977‒1985 - #Xennial
• 1981‒1996 - #GenY a.k.a. #Millennial (or #GenM in South Korea)
• 1997‒2012 - #GenZ
• 2013‒2025(?) - #GenAlpha

There is also what is called #GenMZ. It is a combination of Millennials and GenZ, that is 1981‒2012. “GenMZ” is more commonly used in South Korea than anywhere else.

#FunFact #DidYouKnow most of the salt in natural food stores "does not contain iodide, a necessary supplement" make sure you're getting your #iodine !

#IodizedSalt can be really great! It helps prevent #hypothyroid and #goiter! Especially in people who don't live by the sea or eat #seafood. Iodine is also in #dairy.

But if you have #POTS and you use more #salt than average, make sure you're not getting all your salt from iodized salt.

Too much iodine can also cause #thyroid problems.

#DidYouKnow that in 1991, #BobDole personally invited rapper and member of #NWA Eazy-E to a GOP fundraising event that George H.W. Bush was attending.

There's pictures out there somewhere of Eazy-E with Bob Dole.

I think about that a lot.
