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.

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.
to actually remember the USSR you might want to make it the Over 50 club. i dont remember the USSR but i was around to see the world before the internet took over everything.

I remember plenty of both USSR and GDR and have to admit that 50 is more close to remembering it properly.
