Clicks and likes, over connection and intimacy. We try vainly to be “friends” with everybody, before we make friends with ourselves. Our heart may be closed, but our life is an open book on Facebook and Instagram.

To unpack the joke, we all get how the two offers above are logically equivalent but emotionally distinct.

In America one of the most obvious indicators that the holiday season is upon us are stores’ shift from autumn branding to lots of red. Sometimes even red and green. Or…in the most brazen scenarios, red, green, and snowflakes (or even Christmas trees!). The big shift begins typically right after Halloween although in some instances it begins earlier.
