Suggested Names for Those Who Are Not a Millennial but Not Quite Gen X

What Do You Call the People Who Are in Gen X/Millennial Label Limbo? This graphic up there puts my age group squarely in Millennial, but there are a lot who put me as a young Gen-Xer.
I don't feel like I fully belong in either! There've been some fun-to-read pieces on this "microgeneration" who sit on the cusp of either Gen X or Millennial, and interesting monikers for us, too. The portmanteau Xennial is the most typical, but on my Facebook page, I've had a running series of possible names for my Cohorts on the Cusp.
This will be updated periodically, as inspiration strikes.

The VooDoo Museum in New Orleans French Quarter

NOLA Series: A Visit to the VooDoo Museum

The Purpose of the Anti-Abortion Laws Is to Control Others, Not Preserve Life

Abortion Rights and the Threat to Liberty
The threats to Roe v Wade in the laws enacted by states like Georgia, Alabama, Ohio and Missouri are not just about the freedom to have a safe, legal abortion. This right is, of course, essential in a free society. However, equally important is that the threat to this particular liberty is emblematic of the threats to all liberty, for all people, whether they need access to an abortion or not. And every person who works against that liberty, works against the principle of Liberty itself.
Attempts to erode what was codified into law for the country by Roe v Wade are attempts to impede and impose upon your freedom. Whoever you are, whatever your reproductive capabilities. This *is* a "woman's issue" but it is an issue for everyone, too, on multiple levels. If you're not capable of carrying a fetus to term, these laws still effect you, whether it's that your partner seeks an abortion because you're not ready to have ch…
