Absolutely love this piece by Anna Louie Sussman
on intimate friendship as the real solution to the loneliness epidemic: romper.com/life/importancā¦
As a divorced woman, with a domestic partner but also very very close friends who I consider my soulmates, I felt this deep in my bones.
So grateful to Leslie Gray Streeter for this piece on my book thebaltimorebanner.com/opinion/columnā¦
It was fun to jointly realize that obsessive fandom (Swifties, Beyhive) is normalized in our culture yet it's hard for many people to understand how someone could feel that intensely for a friend
Check out this fascinating conversation btw. the Survey Center's @klehsheyspoke and Rhaina Cohen about her new book, The Other Significant Others

As a result of reading Rhaina Cohen's The Other Significant Others, I've found myself doing some things differently, mostly just to try out, see how it feels:
1. After a couple at dinner talked about how they met, I asked others if they had meet-cute stories of meeting friends
Golden Girls and Grace & Frankie are beloved by many, but treated as a fantasy. What if you didnāt have to wait until retirement age to consider centering your life around friendship? Grateful to Rhaina Cohen for bringing this conversation to Dear Nina. ninabadzin.com/2024/02/19/beyā¦
A growing number of older Americans are in need of long-term care. Some are turning to their friends to fill the gap and, in the process, transforming whatās traditionally been a relationship of dependence into one of equality, Rhaina Cohen reports: theatlantic.com/family/archiveā¦
This excerpt from my book, THE OTHER SIGNIFICANT OTHERS, gives a preview of a chapter that's focused on the challenges of male friendships and how they can transform the men in them

.Rhaina Cohen's new book imagines how life would be different if we centered it on friends.
Radio Atlanticās Hanna Rosin spoke with Cohen about the lost history of friendship and why she cringes when couples describe each other as their ābest friend.ā theatlantic.com/podcasts/archiā¦
Inspired by Rhaina Cohen's A+ book THE OTHER SIGNIFICANT OTHERS, I'm thinking today about how to carve out space not just for romantic love but for platonic love.
What are your ways of seeing friends that go beyond the 1-hour Google Calendar dinner slot?
