#9: A Match Made Online: Examining Online Dating

Have you ever wondered what dating apps are like but can't download an app? You've come to the right place. This week on Stuff I Didn't Write, Lucy hooks us up with all things digital-dating. From dating profile photo etiquette to dating app's data and privacy laws, there's a lot more going on than simply swiping left or right.

Our fundraiser to the AAPI Women Lead organization is still ongoing. 100% of donations made to the Ko-fi page with the hashtag #stuffidonate will be donated to this nonprofit.
