I’ve been in dark places recently. I didn’t know if I was gonna make it through the holidays. Lots of depression, anxiety, and drinking.

Man, did I need a lift. And I got it.

My lovely friend @resl visited us in Portland. We met for vegan food and uplifting conversation. She also brought her rad friend @darius who I met for the first time at lunch. We have tons in common and I’m grateful she introduced us.

What a gift. This was a good day. ❤️

The three of us, close together shoulder-to-shoulder outside on urban sidewalk. We’re all smiling and wearing warm clothes. I have sea foam glasses, a beanie, a puffy jacket, and a long beard. Rachel has a beanie, a jacket, and headphones around her neck. Darius has red glasses, a short beard, and a sweater.

One of my fave #DogBreeds is the #GreatPyrenees. They're amazing #GuardianDogs on farms! My friend, Morgan & her husband Ron, have 5 of them on their family farm in Mill Bay.

#ThrowbackThursday to my visit to their farm in 2021. Morgan & I have been friends for decades.

Two women and a large white Great Pyrenees dog pose together outdoors, me - with white & blue hair holding a walking stick and Morgan - wearing a purple hoodie, all smiling for the camera. The dog sits near the women with a gentle expression. A GMC truck is partially visible to the left. The background features trees and an overcast sky.

A drawing shows six cats in a pile on a blanket - one cat is sitting up and looking at the viewer, two are playing, the others are sleeping. Above the cats is a window that looks out on a snowy scene. — Text: "There's room for you here, just as you are."

Vector illustration of a cute ghost at night reading from a book (that has the anarchy and antifa signs on it) to their friends. The friends are a flaming skull, a cat and a pumpkin. There's also a candle and a glass bottle with green fluid in it. Beneath the picture is written „In a cruel world, be radically compassionate.“

Study finds growing social circles may fuel polarization

#HackerNews #Study #SocialCircles #Polarization #Friends #Division

More friends, more division: Study finds growing social circles may fuel polarization

Between 2008 and 2010, polarization in society increased dramatically alongside a significant shift in social behavior: the number of close social contacts rose from an average of two to four or five people. The connection between these two developments could provide a fundamental explanation for why societies around the world are increasingly fragmenting into ideological bubbles.
