I don’t normally use filters

2/3 Edited to

... Read moreAs a Gen X woman myself, I rarely turn to filters when posting photos, preferring to show my true self. But recently, I gave a popular TikTok filter a try and was pleasantly surprised by the boost of confidence it gave me. It perfectly captured the fierce, unapologetic energy that many of us Gen Xers carry. This generation grew up in a unique time of transition, balancing analog childhoods with digital adulthoods, which has shaped our outlook to be both resilient and real. I love how this filter trend has sparked a movement online celebrating badass women like us, encouraging authenticity without hiding behind heavy editing or unrealistic standards. Using hashtags like #genx, #badasswomen, #genxwomen, and #genxlove creates a community grounded in mutual respect and empowerment. It’s not about perfection, but about embracing life’s imperfections and owning our stories. If you’re a Gen X woman, I encourage you to try this TikTok effect or just share a filter-free photo that reflects your true self. It’s about celebrating our strength and the journey we’ve traveled. The overwhelming positive responses from other Gen X women I’ve seen online show the powerful connection we share. Let’s keep reminding the world that we are indeed badass — unfiltered, authentic, and unstoppable.

The military uses you. Use it back. #ChaseSapphire
The military already took enough. Your time. Your holidays. Your mental bandwidth. So when the Chase Sapphire Reserve gives benefits back, you don’t feel weird about using them. You take them. All of them. That’s not entitlement. That’s reclaiming part of what you earned. #mil
