Who wants in? We can talk about what is was like to write a letter to your grandma or having no other way to ask someone out other than by calling them on the phone. Or checking out movies at Blockbuster or whatever your national equivalent was (we usually checked out videos at the grocery store, actually).

We’re cool because we can actually remember the USSR and “East” Germany. Although not as cool, I can remember when homophobia and transphobia was so much more widely accepted and the “default” position for most Americans. Not as cool.

Disabling call waiting so you can use dial-up. 5 1/4" floppy disks with Number Munchers and other Apple iie games in a lovely shades of green. All metal playgrounds. Rotary phones. TVs with knobs instead of buttons. Yep, I'm old enough for the club 🧓
