Dame Maggie Smith obituary: Respected but reclusive star of stage and film

Oscar-winner as Miss Jean Brodie who enjoyed a rich cinema and TV career, as Professor McGonagall in the Harry Potter series and in Downton Abbey, but whose true home was the theatre

The Times

One of my favorite people in high school doggedly refuses to join any social media service. I've thought about contacting her through her mom or brother and catching up sometime--the last time I saw her, we were in our mid-20s--but TBH I respect her choice to stay off-grid so much that I can't quite bring myself to do it.

Opal: wherever you are, I hope you're flying high, old friend.

Have you ever lost touch with one of your #FavoritePeople?

Sometimes I think defining #BPD highs and lows with #FavoritePeople as "idealization" and "devaluation"

misrepresents the nuance of intensity, situation, and our feels/responses.

This might be a little jumbled, I'm parsing these thoughts for the first time.

As BPD people aren't a monolith and there are a few "subtypes" of presentation,

there's an inherent explosiveness assumed by most people & docs W/O BPD

and if you have #QuietBPD like me, you may lack.

Thanks to @vees for the inspiration. Ending the day with my wee #BrightSpot

Laughing with 3 of my absolutely most favorite people in this universe and the universes beyond.

And I won Mexican Train dominoes.

Laughter was still the cat's meow, absolutely THE #BrightSpot.

β€˜Musk’s Twitter Buy Makes No Sense – Unless It’s Part of Something Bigger’

Brexit and Trump were initially seen as jokes, but the new owner of the social media giant could pose a serious threat to democracy – and a boon for Vladimir Putin, writes David Troy
