Just remind them they invented the transatlantic slave trade and are the progenitors of most if not all of America’s current issues of racist and imperialistic violence.
technology related sensory memories from my childhood
sliding the metal cover on floppy disks
the slight resistance of inserting cassette and video tapes
ripping off the strips of holed paper off of dot matrix printer paper
rolling the wheel on a disposable camera to take another photo
The heaviness and rubber texture of the roller ball in a computer mouse, and the little ring of lint
Unkinking the curly cord of a telephone while you talked
The -peww sound and slowly fading image of a crt monitor turning off, and then running your finger through the static on the dusty glass
The crunch of opening or closing a plastic Disney vhs cover
The sound effects in kidpix
Extending and collapsing metal antennas and using them as magic wands
…God, it is so weird these things aren’t around any more. Cause it’s true, the sensations are so distinct. It’s bizarre to think about missing these tiny relics.
This makes me realize how real the micro generation between Milennials and GenZ really is and how I’m very much part of it. Some of these things I have no memory of but I’m sure people only a year or two older than me do. And a lot of people just younger than me probably remember little to none of this.
i remember every single one of these, and it’s so visceral
jensen: yeah dean accepting jack was kinda out of nowhere
me: *patiently waits for the nougat defense meta squad to write three seperate 10k word essays on that stupid jensen not understanding the nuances of writing and how dean was only performing not wanting to parent jack and feed him soup and tie his shoelaces

Already saw that reaction. Expected it. Naturally a lot of people started screaming about how he “brought Cas back and Jensen honey how could you not notice” without bothering to mention he was the reason Cas died in the first place since he opened the portal and none of them would have been where they were at the time without him about to be born. Smh.
