This was really interesting. Hadn't thought of touch as it's own food group re social isolation, but definitely relatable. Especially with online social worlds.

What are other folks doing to get some touch in their lives in sparse times?

On the topic of touch, my massage therapist put the zonk on me. Have had two naps already today. Gonna cue up some Monkey King and probably not stay awake for that as well.

We are having the loosest laziest watch party ever, under if yer looking for some good-hearted diversion and some utter bloody silliness.

All are welcome.

@lonelinesscorps oh hey ya know what I used to do when I was really sick and isolated?

A hot water bottle on my lap or curled up napping. It has a cozy warm weight to it, much like the companionship of a cat, but without all the litter box duty n such.

I still use it to help turn on my parasympathetic nervous system when stressed.
