We had the kind of record player where you could load up a stack of records—after the last song, the arm would swing off to the side, then comes the CLATTER of the next record dropping, and the arm swinging back into play.

Not just dialing a rotary phone, but specifically my aunt's phone number, which ended in 1117—you'd do three quick bursts for the 111, then all the way over to the 7 and coast back home.

How do the feeds actually work? Like I follow one for "Freelance Editors," but how do individual posts show up there? There don't seem to be any hashtags.

Such a person has never heard the song "Long Black Veil," which is a shame.
