Oh I love Internet Archive! Currently watching: "Definitely not the full Monty Python Life of Brian movie" 😉archive.org/details/20230811_2 #internetArchive Wave at me if you want to watch along. We can live toot it. Cc:@LonelinessCorps #lonelinessCorpsEdit: we're watching! Join us at #LifeOfBrianToots #watchParty#lifeOfBrian #MontyPython

Yo @LonelinessCorps !#PrincessBrideWatch this Sunday at 4pm ESTmstdn.ca/@darrenmorin/11626322 #lonelinessCorps #watchParty #PrincessBride (loneliness corps is open to anyone btw, just a tag and group for anyone who wants to help combat social isolation - with chats, fun activities, community building ideas, sharing deeper thoughts on connection, utter bloody silliness... Join us!)

I know we all joke about passing around the same mutual aid $20 bill, but in a polycrisis world, it feels like there's also a parcel of moral support and caring that we pass around between people in different kinds of crisis and hardship, too. Everyone gets their turn to give and receive it (in my circles anyway). The reciprocity is much healthier & more comfortable than feeling like a constantly needy friend. 1/n@LonelinessCorps #Polycrisis #CovidIsNotOver #LonelinessCorps

Today marks six years for me of living in isolation without human touch.I am feeling both the milestone and the accumulation.My full heart goes out to everyone else hitting their own anniversaries around this time of year. It is brutal. And it is still better than COVID.*Please read full thread before commenting.@LonelinessCorps #IsolationLife #CovidIsNotOver #PandemicIsNotOver #LonelinessCorps

We're rapidly closing in on my 6 year isolation anniversary.Thinking of changing my legal name to Elizabeth Báthory in observance......except I've outlasted her by two years and counting.lolsobbing all the lolsobs@LonelinessCorps #LonelinessCorps #CovidIsNotOver #PandemicIsNotOver #IsolationLife

Ok, doing another round of #3wordCheckIn How ya'll doing, in three words? (my language is trashed, won't reply, but will hold a space for whatever yer feeling, then ⭐boop) cc @LonelinessCorps #lonelinessCorps

RE: zirk.us/@ShaulaEvans/115880712I emailed St. Margaret's, the church that issued this covid policy, to thank them for sharing it and to let them know how much it moved me.The pastor emailed me back personally today -- and now I'm in tears all over again.@LonelinessCorps #LonelinessCorps #CovidIsNotOver #PandemicIsNotOver

A friend sent me this Covid Policy Statement (from a church in Vancouver, Canada) and I feel so seen that I'm in tears. It's well written and relatively comprehensive. It is also an astonishing example of care and compassion combined with science to inform an approach to covid.I'm sharing it here for the many Fedi friends who may be heartened by it or find it useful. stmargaretscedarcottage.ca/why@LonelinessCorps #CovidIsNotOver #PandemicIsNotOver #LonelinessCorps #Covid19 #Covid

I'm having a bad flare today. Gonna bender watch Lord of the Rings. I think I need to see the small and the kind take down big evil. I have very lil cog so won't be tooting, but if you want to lie on the couch knowing someone out there is also on the couch watching LotR, I'm here. I would totes watch it a again with more structure if someone wants to take the lead in setting up a watch party over the next few weeks. @LonelinessCorps #lonelinessCorps

Ok! Super gentle, low brain check in to get chat going on @LonelinessCorps What three words would describe where yer at right now?(it's like a haiku, for your soul, but with less counting) #3wordCheckIn #lonelinessCorps #startAConversation I'm low language, but will ⭐boop w love. Feel free to chat amongst yerselves (CW if needed)

In the meantime, I'll be @joybooster 'ing as a space free of the holiday that shan't be mentioned. @MamaLake has some watch parties n stuff going on. You can also reach out w yer own shenanigans via @LonelinessCorps And/or share your peaceful reflective moments on #sitTogether Take care of each other, these are hard days for some of us. #lonelinessCorps

Hey #fediFriends Is there interest in monthly support crowdfunding @hosford42 to work on building a matchmaking platform for folks to find local connections of the fediverse community? An interface to find #meatspaceFediFriends basically. This is a brand new idea as per:disabled.social/@vlrny/1157125Ya'll can spitball scope and logistics below (pls untag me in replies, I'll just lurk) 🔄 Appreciated! #spoonies #actuallyAutistic @LonelinessCorps #fediverse #hopepunk #community #startLocal

When random people interrogate me about my pandemic safety choices, maybe I should start turning the questions on them:"Do you imagine a scenario where you start to care about brain damage? Is there a potential future where you no longer feel comfortable with the prospect of disabling and killing other people? What would it take for you to prioritize science and facts over cognitive dissonance and vibes?"@LonelinessCorps #LonelinessCorps #PandemicIsNotOver #CovidIsNotOver

Yo! @LonelinessCorps I 've got no brain for planning but @MamaLake is scheming some get-through-the-holidays shenanigans. Check it out and share your ideas. 👇beige.party/@MamaLake/11567854 #lonelinessCorps
