Some of us learned emotional regulation from viral tweets and SpongeBob screenshots — not therapy. In this episode, we unpack how memes became our emotional translators, survival tools, and cultural archives.

From ghosting jokes to strong friend punchlines, we explore how humor lets us say “I’m not okay” without saying it out loud. We break down meme archetypes, share personal stories, and reflect on how Black Twitter, queer TikTok, and diaspora humor hold more truth than most textbooks.

If you’ve ever healed through a screenshot or laughed through a breakdown, this one’s for you. Memes didn’t just make us laugh — they helped us survive. Tap in. Let’s talk about the meme that raised you.
