Receiving your signup stories everyday at https://t.co/bqQNk5T13V is one of the most powerful experiences of my life.

These are often moving - and brilliant and funny- and always, always inspiring.

Thank you!

Make 2019 a year

when if you're feeling lonely and down

and so eager to talk to somebody

you will reach out and ask for help

and companionship

- a joke, a hug, someone to listen -;

help is given to those who ask,

and you are not alone.

Name one elderly person in any era

whom you'd like to mentally and/or physically resemble when *you* get old.

Extra emojis if you explain too. And you can name multiple if you like.

"[D]id we really need to severe those ties, or did these relationships just fell victim to the arbitrary tech products — the Messengers and the WhatsApps — we so casually use everyday with those that matter deeply to us?"

"While most of our advice focuses on prevention — how to avoid miscommunication, how to close generational gaps, how to make sure we don’t do harm in our messaging habits — sometimes in life the deed is done and all we can try is to correct our mistakes."

I want my ethics to be YES-ethics!
Not no-ethics...

Yes-ethics doesn't only decline, escape, rebut, ridicule.
Yes-ethics chooses and does!

I want to say: "No, thanks. But hey look at this."
YES this! Let's build this! This is what I stand for and you or anyone can join.

Wonderful article from the Ixy Labs.

@ChrystalDing looks into inter-generational communication, especially keeping in touch with elderly family members better.

Great personal stories and data!

A very moving, recurring moment in our research at Actual (by @IxyHelps)

is when Person1 says they feel sad because Person2 contacts them so little

or replies so rarely,

and Person2 says: "But I think about you a LOT!"
