Hi!

I’m Sara Bubenik, a writer and researcher based in Boston. I write about what it means to connect with other people, and what happens when we don’t.

What’s this newsletter about?

Does living near friends matter? How does change make us feel lonely? What will AI chatbots do to the future of human relationships? What’s the tie between our social life and our teeth? How do we balance branding ourselves online with living our lives?

In biweekly(ish) essays, I invite you to consider questions about society and culture through research and personal stories.
