#loneliness — Public Fediverse posts

There's a BBC story going around today about Empty Chairs — pub tables in the UK saved for anyone who's lonely. Just show up and sit. I've spent my career telling people that connection is medicine, and it moves me to watch strangers prove it with something as simple as a spare chair. Your presence is more therapeutic than you think. Who needs it today?

The self-care industry is worth $2 trillion. People are lonelier than ever. We took a structural problem—the erosion of community—and reframed it as a personal failing. "You're not doing enough self-care." I've learned: self-care is a starting line, not a finish line. What sustains people is community. Resilience scales through community.

Loneliness has a mortality impact comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. That's not a metaphor. That's the data.
We talk about the addiction crisis. We talk about the mental health crisis. But underneath both is a connection crisis. Connection is medicine.

Charle’s Portis is known for ‘True Grit’, but for me it pales to the rest of his works.

Sit for a spell and I shall tell you of the his book, the Master’s of Atlantis. I shan’t spoil it.

A young G.I. is in Europe waiting for a boat back to the U.S., he meets a man who eventually claims to be part of a mystical ancient order. The G.I. is gullible and falls for the ploy, while us the reader is well aware it is a con.

Well let’s just say he goes back to America, takes it rather seriously, and ends up starting his own very well-natured, well, cult. It’s got schisms and schemes and a happy ending.

And I think I love the work of Charles Portis because similar to Kurt Vonnegut, he illustrates loneliness in a tender and vulnerable way.

Also: There is an elaborate B-plot featuring a young con-man wanna-be who starts a venture in the Colorado mountains to grow fast growing weeds in the soil to grind down to recover gold.

Also I didn’t know Conan O’Brien had kind things to read about it, but I can see how he would like it too.

I've watched people try to outrun loneliness with alcohol, screens, work, busyness. None of it fills the space. What fills it is showing up, and letting someone show up for you.
