Your Dating Memes are a Psyop (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This summer I’ve drifted away from a particular group chat, the kind of chat between three or four friends that still has the name of an event we all went to years ago. I have not been much online, but the content, my friends sharing memes by women creators about how dating is a drag, also feels more and more strange to my lived reality.

We walked and danced until our feet were sore and swollen, and we lingered until the last song played at the Brandenburg Gate.
