The Daily Mail: Don’t use these emojis! They make Gen Z people perceive you as old!
Me: I mean they’re going to perceive me like that either way, so I’ll use whatever emojis I like.

@KimberlyHirsh Ageism, pure and simple. Another (equally ageist) way that could have been written could have been "Don't use these [other] emojis or Boomers will think you're young."
@KimberlyHirsh To the Daily Mail - 🖕🏽
@KimberlyHirsh Exactly. Who cares if they perceive us as old? Why is age always considered a negative trajectory among Westerners?
@KimberlyHirsh All those Gen Z kids at the Daily Mail need to get off my lawn! waves cane (Paging @bradenslen)
@KimberlyHirsh Haha, I'm with you! So what if Gen Z people can tell I'm a millennial, I am one 😂
@KimberlyHirsh I’m so old my first instinct is not to use emojis at all. I have to remind myself and they usually look like an afterthought 🤪
@artkavanagh I sometimes use smileys, which marks me as a very specific flavor of old. :)
