‘time of (digital) isolation for so many’ - so true. My heart beats hard. at the thought of getting through Christmas. If I didn’t have a child I wouldn’t bother with it but it’s everywhere isn’t it? It sort of chases you.

Great words and pics. Yes - it scares me with babies particularly. Break my heart when I think of all the eye contact they are being deprived of.

I do remember. But we can't go back. Pandora won't go back into the box. We have to find a way to go forward. I loved this piece.

Very salient points. Personally I'm starting to believe social media apps have nothing to do with promoting socializing and are instead a means of controlling people.

So good, like checking in from the past every two hours from a pay phone.
