@mhdksafa Our fear of ageing warps every aspect of our lives and robs us of the simple joy of being alive.
But we can rebel against this narrative https://t.co/T7FOi2TWw6

@nikkiparrish31 @ElliottBlackwe3 @carolineb180 It's literally the history of ideas, how we went from the fire to Freud. It makes you see our time in flux instead of static, I've found it has given me more agency. Happy reading!

@encore_janine As the saying goes, what matters is how much life there is in your years. Happy birthday from as far as Thailand! (I know we don’t know each other personally, but I love birthdays)

@moomincutting @look4thewoman @OldSchool_Info @MERVatLLARC @MichaelFKay @gatewaywomen I don't intend to make it a fashion statement, just look at what the other 70+ wore on his arrival. I applaude Yellen's take-me-as-I-am approach :-)

You may think what you like about the war in Ukraine (I know what I think 🇺🇦) or Janet Yellen, but seeing this 76 year-old woman in a war zone with her white hair and a pair of sneakers makes my heart sing

@jacopo_iacoboni @GiuseppeConteIT Look what democracies do and learn:
Lithuanians raise 1 006 000 euro for radars for Ukraine in 1 hour.

Lithuanian IT company Tesonet doubles it for 2 012 000 euro.

In 1 hour.

@cindygallop @susandanziger I know THAT place, I've published a story about it and since than it's on my wish-list. I hope you've enjoyed!

@apmassaro3 For what it matters, I STRONGLY belong to the first group 🇺🇦

@IuliiaMendel The problem is the weaponisation of the event. As you can see from the screenshot, @corriere has falsely translated Von der Leyen's comment at the Opera House. She said "We have to honour culture" and NOT "Russian culture"

@CarolineEdAG @NatureAging @ARC_S_L Thank you Caroline for your work. Human rights stop on the doorstep of care homes. It's a mystery of our time. Or better, a misery of our time

@WSJ Is it only me finding the illustration an example of sexageism?

@johnsweeneyroar If Putin is the only one who has the power to do something (attack Ukraine), he’s called a dictator.

If Scholz is the only one who has the power NOT to do something (sending heavy weapons to Ukraine). Why he’s not called a dictator?
