The way it can act as both an invitation to social interaction, and a buffer against it. Its fascinating and varied history. How it has become one of the most ubiquitous, conspicuous consumption items of choice for middle class Americans. &#8230; <a href="https://zackhayhurst.wordpress.com/2016/06/11/coffeetalk/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "#CoffeeTalk"</span></a>]]></description>

And yet we live in a culture that seems obsessed with eradicating boredom, as if it were Ebola &#8230; <a href="https://zackhayhurst.wordpress.com/2016/03/10/allowing-boredom-in-our-lives/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "Allowing Boredom in Our&#160;Lives"</span></a>]]></description>
