This. I have difficulty explaining it to my more extrovert friends.

[Minds That Build @Mindsthatbuild]

Introverts. We're often misunderstood. We don't lack social skills, we just don't have a strong desire to constantly engage with others. We can hold our own in social situations and even be the life of the party, but really crave is the comfort of a quiet room and a cozy vibe.

Amelina herself now also dead, victim of Russian attack on Donetsk. Beyond heartbreaking.

@Damian_Barr Did you know about that wall?! Anyway, well played. You and Bernadine match as well.

This is the @menshealthuk interview on mental health and other issues that I did with Huw Edwards … to those saying he is “playing the mental health card” - I suggest you take a long hard look in the mirror and ask what kind of person you really are https://t.co/2gNqUtOL6R

@SoozUK But for the high end stuff there are dress agencies, apps like By Rotation…even John Lewis do hire outfits now. Great thread, agree 100%!

To the tune of Eleanor Rigby:

Levy’s screenplay about Mary Seacole is a TV ‘series that never happened’, according to this article. Never say never! I’d sure as hell watch it. I hope execs see this and turn things around.

The feud between Susan Sontag and Camille Paglia captured on camera here in 1993 (on public TV) is so painfully entertaining it's impossible to look away.
