Jamie from Millennial Misery is featured on this week's episode of Nicstalgia. We speak about what it’s like running a meme account. Meme pages make us realize we all kinda had the same childhood/life to some extent, don’t they?! (Sidebar: Here’s your reminder that there are ~real people~ behind all social media accounts, so be kind online – and IRL for that matter.) Do I have to go buy Spice Girls lollipops on eBay for $200? Also, how did my mom throw away my childhood toys without me noticing!!!???
