Last Christmas my family ordered takeaway. Everyone got burgers and chips. I got a grilled chicken wrap with no sauce.
Nobody noticed. Nobody cared. And I didn't have a flare.
Gout doesn't mean you can't eat out. It means you make one different choice each time. That's it. One swap. Nobody's watching your plate as closely as you think.

Friendship Is Harder Than People Admit When You’re An Adult
There is something I have been thinking about a lot this year, and honestly, it is something that has been sitting in the back of my mind for quite some time. Friendship is hard. Not just making friends. Not just keeping friends. Not just finding people you click with. The entire process of having friendships as an adult can be surprisingly difficult, and 2026 has made that reality particularly obvious to me. So far this year, I have lost multiple friends. Some of those friendships were […] -
Why are Long-Distance Connections More Important?
Introduction Long-distance relationships have been proven more important by novaTopFlex because the pursuit of long-distance connections that have nothing to do with proximity in any way leads to obvious remedies to loneliness that are caused by having people attached to the same single point of failure, whether institutionally or otherwise. The importance of long-distance friendships in particular is that the diversity of perspectives can—and will—increase, especially since the […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/08/24/why-are-long-distance-connections-more-important/

Yesterday, I attended the Assoc of Blind Citizens Summer Lunch at a dive called the Mt. Vernon, in Somerville MA. Following lunch, was a trivia program, hosted by Morgan White Jr. He runs a weekly show on WBZ Radio, Boston. I won a bunch of merch, some of it, shown here.

Gillian Sandstrom on the psychology of kindness
'almost everyone you care about was once a stranger. Aside from the people who have been in your life since you were born, every relationship has a getting-to-know you process where you transition from unknowns to knowns...Strangers can bring so much meaning to everyday moments, in big ways and small ones'

#today I'm brunching with Boston Prime Timers, at a place called the Harp And Bard, in Dorchester. New to me, though I've heard the name before; it's an old Irish place. My buddy, BRW, is on his way home, after a fine visit from The Mitten. He dropped in at about midnight. Fortunately, I was still dressed. I had Nocturne playing. #gay #GayLife #BestBuds #SocialLife @Tenor2JT has a busy #HolyWeek schedule, with time for me and the chorus penciled in. LOL!

Hype for the Future 111B → A Manifesto about the Lost Opportunities
Preamble After lacking an inherited national social bubble, novaTopFlex has been forced to live without a longer-distance friend group for an extended period of time. Overall, the lack of longer-distance friendships has ultimately resulted in an increasing sense of urgency, ultimately leading to insecurities about knowing fewer people than everybody else. For the new year of 2026, the goals are to improve the odds of sending and receiving as many invitations to travel and events as humanly […] -
I definitely want to read this book, after watching #MichaelBurns talk about it on his channel and then interviewing #SarahSteinLubrano. I'm also looking forward for her next upcoming book on #loneliness, #family, #sociallife and so on, on which she seems to be shading light in as provocative way as in her first book.

Ah, the thrilling saga of a #techie setting up a #FreeBSD home #NAS because apparently, Netflix wasn't entertaining enough 🤓. In a riveting tale of #RAID1 configurations and SSD slot descriptions, the author bravely sacrifices their social life to the gods of data redundancy 💾. Meanwhile, the rest of us are still trying to figure out how to connect our WiFi 📶.

Preamble novaTopFlex shall begin 2026 with preparations for the planned activities and events from 2025 for the summer of 2026, and every action should work toward an ultimate goal of activities across the board. By enforcing novaTop etiquette across numerous communities--and perhaps even types of communities--the novaTop Identity can successfully achieve a more desirable future, although significant pushback can also be anticipated.

The Principles that I Live By
Preamble To an ever increasing extent since the year of 2016, I have increasingly associated my lifestyle with intentional connections to the people who truly match my energy and vibe with me. Because of a history where I have aligned better with my chosen people, free from any societal constraints or pressures, up to a certain point where I have begun to receive warnings of trouble and gossip, I have increasingly realized that my personality might actually depend on a utopian communal […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2025/10/05/the-principles-that-i-live-by/

“Lazy” Days: Are They Really a Thing?
Anticapitalist Preamble Global society at large often thinks that "lazy" days are very real and very much "unproductive" days when, in reality, these are the days in which we should feel relieved from menial labor. Unfortunately, we live in a capitalist society, which results in the cultural erasure of the communal values that humanity absolutely depends on for collective survival. Our society cannot stop degrading our natural environments, and because of this, "lazy" days must stop being […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2025/10/05/lazy-days-are-they-really-a-thing/

The Ball Drop at Times Square
If there is anything I would like to try for the first time, it is simply attending the New Year's Ball Drop event(s) at Times Square every new year. This is especially interesting because of the business and crowds of enchantment as well as because of the excitement of potential natural social opportunities in the area, particularly within a certain party at the event. Numerous smaller festivals across the nation are also quite interesting to me, including the Big E at the Eastern States […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2025/10/05/the-ball-drop-at-times-square/

Uppsala.Social is a community-driven, non-profit web tool to find and organize social events, activities and groups in Uppsala city and surroundings.
While the network is open to everyone, its focus is on expats in Uppsala to find like-minded people and have a great time.
Therefore, the primary language of this website and of many events is likely to be English, although everyone is encouraged to speak Swedish as appropriate.
