“...a genuinely enlarged sense of what a satisfactory life might contain. People can experience love and tenderness for younger generations without biological parenthood...They can build lives around friendship, work, art, travel, activism, or community, in ways less constrained by old ideas..."

On Facebook, I posted this pic from the Santa Barbara #NoKings rally I attended, as I always do, & for the 1st time, got a barrage of hateful comments. Thoughts?

Examples of everyday erasing and disparaging of single people plus some points of pride. If you are single, you probably have many more examples to add. belladepaulo.medium.com/pride-and-pr...

Pride and Prejudice in the Lives of People Who Are Single

We are marginalized and casually disparaged, but also have good reasons to be proud

Another scare story about single people is shattered. People who never marry are most likely to die pain-free and at peace. Research by Kafayat Mahmoud and Deborah Carr @carrds723.bsky.social www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/livi...

The Good Deaths of People Who Never Marry

People who never marry are just as likely, or even more likely, to have a good death than married people. Those with no children are just as likely as parents to have a good death.

Justifying the Presumed Superiority of Romantic Couples, or Challenging It?

My beef with research purporting to reveal the personal deficiencies of single people

When you read about a study supposedly showing that single people are inferior to coupled people, remember these 2 boxes. The single person is in the box on the left. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/livi...

Are Romantic Couples Really the Winners?

Studies purporting to show that single people are deficient often fail to acknowledge systems of inequality that advantage couples and disadvantage singles.

One of the joys of publishing “Single at Heart” has been all the photos people send me. This latest is one of my favorites. (It is from Carla; photo credit to Andy Holloway.) To see some of the others, check out the link to the photo gallery below.
