A recent article in The Atlantic suggested that we'd all be happier if we lived near our friends. Culture writer Anne Helen Petersen agrees, and wonders what is keeping us from doing that. Her question: What would you have to change for you to move closer to the people who nourish, support you and make your lives better and easier?
Does anyone know a good #discord server related to #autism? I am #struggling to make #friends. I don’t have any and really need #support, someone to #talk to…and have trouble making friends. I’m #lonely and not sure if this would #help or not. I’m wondering if finding a #community would make finding #friendship easier. Thank you in advance.
We had the entire patio to ourselves 🙂
At Brown's Social in downtown #VictoriaBC with my friend, Natalie. She's a horticulturalist, living in Deep Cove. We had some eats & drinks before going across street for PechaKucha Night VOL. 20.
They played #GenX tunes, the whole time we were there. We lucked out on getting street parking, one block away. Then lucked out on empty patio, on arrival. We had our own fire table 🥰
(Something a little different from my usual fare. It kind of explains my absence of late. I hope you enjoy it.)
The following is a reflection on the sixty-two-year friendship between the late Mrs. Elsie Gene Adams and me. This memorial was given by at Grace Episcopal Church, White Plains, New York, on January 27, 2024, at the request of Mrs. Adams’ daughters.

my collaborators (Canton Winer at UCI and Hannah Tessler at Yale) and I would love to include your perspective in our study.
Brand new to KBIN n Fedivers concept in general. Am looking to find a magazine for friendship / pen pals / friendship advice. But I realize I've no idea how to look and or search for that community. Would anyone please point me in the right direction and/or teach me how to browse look for magazines?...

Hey all you peeps out there!
I have a request: If you appreciate the person I mention, find him funny and caring, sometimes serious and other times a little crazy but in a good way, please send him a heart ❤️ to let him know 🥰 @MaJ1 @Tim_Mctuffty
I want to take a moment to thank everyone for the boosts, favourites but especially the replies over the last year! I've been on Mastodon for a little over a year and made a lot of GREAT friends, learned new things and seen many awesome animal pictures and beautiful landscapes with the sun rising or setting.
Thanks again and let's keep social media social in 2024!🙂
In America, married people get more than 1,000 legal benefits that single people can't access. Vox's Sigal Samuel asks why people in a platonic partnership can't enjoy the same kind of benefits, and why society values friendships less than familial relationships and marriages. Do you have a "best friend?"
I got to spend some time texting with old friends I haven't chatted with in a while this evening.
They won't see this or know this, but man - it felt good. A well timed bit of positivity, a bit of appreciation for each other, swapping stories and family updates.
How do I find / search for magazines?
