New research illustrates how live events foster social connection

"[t]he study also found that the boost in connection wasn't long-lasting—feelings of social connection typically weren't sustained 24 hours after events ended.

This suggests the need for regular participation in such activities to maintain benefits."

"The West didn’t collapse overnight; #COVID frayed us thread by thread, then all at once. We need to choose #connection over convenience, #community over consumption, and the patience of #institutionbuilding over immediate gratification. Until // unless we make those choices, we’ll keep living in the shadow of the #pandemic, isolated and angry, wondering why our politics has become so violent and our society so fragile."

How do you leverage a #socialmedia account into a #human #connection? You make stuff that people like until they message you? DM everybody you want to be #friends with? Is it like real life where they say, you can never just connect on purpose there has to be common ground? How much labor until i construct the #commonground? What does it take to even be a #digitalobject for you? I created this because i don't have enough #humanity in #meatspace. How many #posts fix #touch #starvation ?

I cried after a meditation this morning. I really needed that. I'm grateful that my soul could get that release.

I help people every day by just sharing my story.

I had a great day yesterday with my friends. It helped me sleep well and helped me be able to start today fresh and ready to go.
