it’s not too late to gather friends from the disparate corners of your life and make a league … you can have watch parties … you can create memes with the players … it’s FUN
super bowl is this weekend and i’m outing myself as a football fan. but fr shouting go sportsball past the age of 15 is super lame and you should totally get invested in sports and more specifically the nfl. mostly bc american football is such a stupid sport and the rules make no sense but you prob already know a little (like what a touchdown is) and the rest is sorta just arbitrary. i’ve been following the nfl since i was like 8 or 9 bc that’s how me and my dad bonded and it’s really a saving grace in any conversation with a man. idk how to explain it but american football strikes the most perfect balance of interesting game and good bonding experience with fans…the european mind cannot even begin to grasp. heavily heavily recommend.
this weekend a man on the bridge dropped his airpods so i picked them up for him then on his run back when he passed me he smiled and waved because we were microfriends. i will never see him again but we had our moment i just made this term up but it feels right to describe a nice little fleeting human connection drop your microfriendship stories/recs
