A Day in the Life of the Gen Z Worker
That's it! I loud quit! I have had it with these so-called workplace trends. First there was 'quiet quitting,' when an employee … works only during work hours and puts in only the precise amount of work required to keep their job. And now there's 'micro-retirement,' a new trend of not working for a week or two weeks every 18 months, sometimes while employed, sometimes between jobs. Are you sure these are new workplace trends? Are you sure you aren't just describing a routine phenomenon in an alarmed way? I took the liberty of recounting a typical workday in the language of workplace-trend pieces. The Gen Z worker awakes in the morning from her Microdeath (a new workforce trend where workers deliberately close their screens, repose horizontally, and are unavailable to respond to emails for up to eight hours) and dons her Whimsical Cloth Sheath (a new Gen Z trend where workers cover their body in colorful fabrics rather than sensible gray flannel). Before arriving at her shared work location, the worker enters a crowded underground car to engage in a Tiny Detox, a new workforce trend where the worker's phone or laptop fails to stay connected to the internet for the entire ride, giving the worker a refreshing break for sometimes the whole length of a tunnel! Many bosses frown on this trend, suggesting that it doesn't really offer any mental-health benefits and the loss of productivity can be costly—as can its companion trend, the Mile High Detox (no internet on a plane). For the course of her Tiny Detox, the worker stares out the window. After another Tiny Detox on the elevator up to her office, the Gen Z worker gets right to work until it's time for her Microspa, a new workplace trend where workers visit a purpose-built room to excrete liquid and, in some cases, solid waste. Some employers advise against this! She flushes, emerging to a small area equipped with sinks and mirrors. Her colleague Carla is giving herself a Hyper-Targeted Cleanse, a new Gen Z trend of using a special implement with stiff bristles to polish her teeth. 'Hey, Carla,' the worker says. Carla nods in greeting. 'How was your weekend?' 'Great!' the worker says. 'We had a barbecue. Yours?' (This is Voice Quitting, a new Gen Z workplace trend where colleagues use their voices during work hours to discuss nonwork topics instead of placing their voices into a seashell for the exclusive use of their employers. Some employers consider it a useful form of bonding, but many frown on it.) She returns to her desk and types for three solid hours, occasionally stopping to Time Manage (a new trend where Gen Z workers glance at a personal timepiece rather than relying on their employer-supplied clocks) before getting back to work. Many Gen Z workers choose to Lung Bathe while in the workplace, and this worker is no exception, inflating not just one lung but both lungs. Decadent! This worker is also engaged in the new trend of Organmaxxing, where workers hoard both kidneys selfishly for themselves instead of offering one to their employers. Finally, it is 1:50 p.m. Just 10 more minutes until her Microvacation! To participate in this new trend, she gets up from her desk to travel briefly to a second, more fun location—in this case, a coffee shop—for fewer than 30 minutes. Some workers take multiple Microvacations per week, and employers warn it can be addictive. She returns to her desk and gets back to work. Fortunately, she did not engage in any Medical Malingering (a new workforce trend where doctor appointments are scheduled during the workweek rather than at night or on weekends), so she has the whole afternoon to produce value for her employer with her labor before she Silent Retreats (a new trend where workers, instead of opting to spend the night in the office, leave work to engage in Microdeath in another location, sometimes with roommates or cats). She is grateful, she reflects, not to be experiencing the new Gen Z trend of Pre-Retirement, where Gen Z workers are not offered any of the jobs they apply to. More and more workers seem to be embracing this trend! She is excited to go home and keep dreaming her American Microdream (a new trend where Gen Z workers, instead of using their salaries to buy homes and support a family, hope to someday pay off their student loans.) She sighs. The Microdeath cannot come soon enough.

This Dramatic Hue Is the Color of Summer, According to a Survey
Have you been opting for your phone's Do Not Disturb setting more often lately? If so, you're not alone. According to Pinterest's 2025 Summer Report, people are itching for a 'Digital Detox Summer,' meaning it's time to go touch grass, y'all. And while bringing grass inside isn't the most straightforward task, Pinterest users are still hoping to add more green to their lives, specifically regularly searching for the color 'Dill Green.' Pinterest predicted the color dill green would be huge for summer back in January when the site published its 2025 Pinterest Palette report. Described as 'pickled perfection in a color,' dill green has been on the rise thanks to users' interests in pickling and pickle decor, the earthy aesthetic of the Terra Futura trend (Pinterest predicted in 2024 that Boomers and Gen Xers will focus more on sustainability), and the overall reaching back into the early 2000s for inspiration (that '70s-inspired dill hue was big in the aughts). With users searching for book clubs, garden parties, summer crafting, and other tech-free outdoor activities, dill green is fully on the map and making its way into home aesthetics. The shade can be a fun pop of color in a light and airy space, like this accent wall in the sunny Chicago rental seen above, which is painted with Backdrop's Lawn Party. Or, when paired with other darker tones, it could shift moody like this small dill green nook in a glam London remodel. Farrow & Ball's Green Smoke (No. 47) adds so much drama to the other deep blue color in the room. Dill olive pairs perfectly with aesthetics ranging from farmhouse and cottagecore to mid-century modern and even dark academia. It all depends on how you style it. Pinterest users are also searching for the 'Martha Stewart aesthetic' right now, which is all about embracing 'garden-to-table cooking, flower gardens, and fresh summer recipes, channeling the iconic tastemaker's lifestyle,' as the Pinterest Summer Report reads. And nothing says fresh quite like the herby color of dill! If you're searching for ways to bring the feeling of being in nature into your home this summer, give dill green a try. It's fresh and earthy, inspiring you to put the phone down and reconnect with Mother Earth, making it easy to do so while the weather allows.

Drag Race star comes out as transgender in emotional post on 34th birthday
RuPaul's Drag Race star and former Drag Race Mexico host Valentina Xunaxi, who rose to fame in season nine, shared an emotional post on her 34th birthday Former Drag Race Mexico co-host Valentina Xunaxi has come out as a transgender woman in an emotional new post shared on her 34th birthday. The stunning reality star took to her page on Instagram to share several gorgeous photos taken of her as she made the announcement. In the photos, Valentina rocked long wavy locks, a full face of glam, a simple spaghetti strap top and black trousers. She wrote both in English and in Spanish: "Hello everyone, it's me Valentina Xunaxi. Today is my birthday. I turn 34. For some time now I've been in transition, I've been doing it privately but today I wanted to open and share with you all. "Along the way I've felt pressure to come forward so I've decided and wanted to take today to declare myself as a transgender woman. I welcome all the love, support and protection from my dear fans. Thank you so much." Fans and friends immediately took to the comment section to share their support for the Drag Race star, with Bianca Del Rio simply writing: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY! LOVE, NANA." "Happy birthday beautiful!!! Love you!" Jaida Essence Hall commented. One drag queen wrote in Spanish: "Awww you are so beautiful. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVERRRRRR." Others sharing their support included Michelle Visage, Detox and Jewels Sparkles. Others from the Drag Race community sharing their support included Amanda Tori Meating, DeJa Skye, Monet X Change, Peppermind, Farrah Moan, Shea Coulee, June Jambalaya, CoCo Montrese and Tammie Brown. In 2019, Valentina came out as nonbinary in a chat with Out. She said at the time: "I identify as nonbinary. I don't completely feel like a man, I don't completely feel like a woman. I feel like a goddess. I feel like I'm my own gender." That same year saw her portray Angel in Rent Live, a character some people have interpreted as being transgender or genderfluid. She had only been doing drag for less than a year in LA night nightclubs when she was cast in season nine of RuPaul's Drag Race, which aired in 2017. In 2023, Valentina co-hosted the first season of Drag Race México. One of Valentina's famous moments was from her original season during the elimination in episode nine to Nina Bo'Nina Brown after losing her lipsync battle to Ariana Grande's Greedy. She was wearing a face mask as part of her look but refused to remove it for the lip syncing in a moment that went viral among fans. Valentina landed in seventh place and won only one challenge but viewers voted her Miss Congeniality.
