Thinkin' about so-called third places (self.general)

You may have heard of third places before, but in case it's new to you, they're essentially community spaces where you can chill & socialize...Like here, I suppose! But typically they refer to in-person community spaces.

Does your area of the world still have a number of these, or are they in the decline? Do you know if your in-person communities are trying to establish or renovate theirs to help people connect or reconnect with one another?

Maybe you already know, but a first place is usually your home and a second place is your work or school.

So either your unemployed or out of school, or you have a second place without realizing.

I'm guessing they work from home. I'm also a one placer because of that.

Same. I also remote work for a time zone 3 hours back so my social life is nonexistent. What's the step beyond cabin fever called?

Something something Redrum, I believe.

That makes an abundance of sense. Lately, I've been feeling lost since I also Wfh. Its just tiring to be at a singular place.

It doesn't help that i moved across continents and barely know anybody around.
