Are text-based social boundaries ruining our personal relationships? 📲 🫥 💔 

“In the past 20 years, a new social boundary seems to have calcified among people my age,” The Cut’s Kathleen Walsh writes. “It is no longer appropriate to pick up your phone and call your friend whenever you feel like it.” But friendships cannot subsist on heart emojis alone. 

For #BoundariesWeek, Walsh explores how our relationships suffer when they rely solely on textual exchanges of information — then makes the case for why we should all be cold-calling our friends more often. As always, drop your take 👇 and read on at the link in bio.
