*   thickening loose ties
*   creating opportunities for repeated, lightweight contact
*   making review activities feel integrated into a broader conversation somehow

Returning to this on [[2020-05-26]], these are still my top themes. The obvious temptation would be to go for some kind of social signaling, etc, but that’s just so boring…

*   unplanned interactions
*   shared intense experiences
*   vulnerability / safety
