Introvert Problems@introvertproblems.bsky.social

Introverts are often alone but rarely lonely. We can spend entire days by ourselves without getting bored or feeling like we’re missing out on anything. We enjoy our own company and don’t need to constantly be around people to feel happy or fulfilled

Britain is a nation of cat lovers, so why do black cats still wait longest for a home? For Black Cat Day, we look at the superstitions that keep them in rescue centres – and why they deserve better.

In the UK women's football was more popular than the men's in the 1920s so it was just straight up BANNED. For 50 years!

The real unfair competition women are being forced into with men is having women's sports constantly separated off as a distinct event which is made to compete commercially with much better funded and socially and institutionally enfranchised men's sporting events & found inadequate by that standard

I remember a Spectator article from years ago jadedly assuring readers that climate change would not kill anyone.

About 2/3 of the 50,000 deaths from the summer heatwaves in Europe are attributable to climate change, say Imperial College researchers That's risen from 2/5 at the start of the century Note that heat deaths are projected to rise faster than cold deaths fall www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It’s no longer possible for Britain to wash its hands of its crime against humanity, to deflect to others, to trivialise & to disavow. If it wants some moral influence in the world, an apology, a TRC & meaningful negotiation of e.g. debt relief is now necessary. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Nearly half of people who apply for PIP are in work and use the funds to enable themselves to stay in work. Cutting PIP will add to the welfare budget as those people will no longer be able to stay in the work force.

Today is Intersex Awareness Day. I am intersex – and did not find out until I was 26! Intersex people are also impacted by the decision in FWS, but this is much less talked about. Intersex people continue to be subjected to non-consensual medical interventions. Intersex rights are human rights.

We’ve never learned this lesson in the UK. We still have to listen to the ‘legitimate concerns’ of a bunch of racists and fascists.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

I want all trans people to know that Erika Hilton is a black transwoman and the most-voted congresswoman in the history of Brazil, with 1.5 millions votes. She campaigned for Lula over the last three weeks. WE TRANS PEOPLE CAN EXIST IN POLITICS. It’s not a dream. It’s already a reality in Brazil!

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."
