Spent 20 years meeting friends and boyfriends online. Here are some of them.

I started taking these photos in 2023 on a Samsung Gravity 2 — the phone I used in the 8th grade, to text my first generation of internet friends — so I could be kneecapped by the same shitty image quality we were kneecapped by back then.

Now I am an adult and can choose to go see my friends as I please. But you’re here to squint, like we once had to.
