Normally, most researches that centre around longevity or healthy, long life, probe what foods the people who live long eat or what sets of genes they have inherited, the researchers from the University of Rome La Sapienza and the University of California, San Diego decided to take a different view of longevity.

They focussed on a cluster of villages in Italys mountainous Cilento region on the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea where 29 nonagenarians and centenarians and 51 family members aged 5175 years, lived a long and healthy existence. No diet study, no genetics study, for this study, the researchers focused on participants character traits.

This group was now a part of a larger study called CIAO (Cilento Initiative on Aging Outcomes) and they titled this study as "Mixed-methods quantitative-qualitative study of 29 nonagenarians and centenarians in rural Southern Italy: focus on positive psychological traits".When the Cambridge University Press published this study online on 12 December 2017 in International Psychogeriatrics, this is what they declared they had found.

Participants age 90 years had worse physical health but better mental well-being than their younger family members. Mental well-being correlated negatively with levels of depression and anxiety in both the group Researchers graded the elderly persons on issues like mental and physical well-being, resilience, optimism, anxiety, depression, and perceived stress. Several of them had been through life's upheavals... migrations, traumatic events, wars etc.Their lives were a picture of resilience and optimism, working hard, and bond with family and religion, but also a need for control and love of the land.

Ability to handle stress with positivity: "Older people are much better able to brush off lifes small stressors and accumulate a valuable thing called wisdom: being emotionally stable and compassionate, knowing yourself and being able to make smart social decisions," Dr Dilip V Jeste, senior associate dean for the Center of Healthy Aging at UC San Diego School of Medicine, told TIME. https://time.com/4464811/aging-happiness-stress-anxiety-depression/

Self-confidence and decision-making: In a piece CNBC carried on the study's findings, it noted that when the researchers compared the participants to their younger relatives between the ages of 51 and 75, they were surprised to find that, although the older generation had worse physical health, they scored higher on measures of self-confidence, decision-making and mental well-being, meaning they were generally less anxious and depressed.

Adaptability and resilience: This shows that there are certain attributes that are very important, including resilience, strong social support and engagement and having confidence in yourself, Jeste said. They exuded a sense of pride in their personal histories, beliefs and the trials theyve had to overcome throughout their lives.

Love of their land and people: The groups love of their land is a common theme and gives them a purpose in life. Most of them are still working in their homes and on the land. They think, This is my life and Im not going to give it up, said Anna Scelzo of the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse in Chiavarese, Italy, in a press release, as per the CNBC report.

A bond with family and religion: This seemed to give the elderly a sense of grounding. This paradox of ageing supports the notion that well-being and wisdom increase with ageing even though physical health is failing, said Jeste. As he told TIME, it shows that getting older is not all gloom and doom.

Exceptional longevity was characterized by a balance between acceptance of and grit to overcome adversities along with a positive attitude and close ties to family, religion, and land, providing purpose in life.

Secret to longevity: Common personality traits of people who live to be 100 years old - Times Now

The England & Wales Cricket Board is spending a lot of money on other elements of the game but unless the mens national team is strong everything else around it will collapse.

The England mens team is the flagship. If it keeps performing like this the big TV money will soon dry up and then the ECB will sit up and take notice. They might even do something about it.

Perhaps there is too much money floating around from Sky. Maybe life is too cushy for administrators and coaches.If they were all paid on results then their pay packets would be a lot lighter and they might make these batsmen play a bit better.

Losing is part of cricket. Not a problem with that. You are not going to win every match but it is how you lose that counts. Supporters, and I include myself in that, want you to go down with a fight and show us something we can be proud of.

If you cant bat, you cant win. It is simple and as a unit England just keeping making too many mistakes because their techniques and mental thinking are so poor.

At Edgbaston the conditions for batting were as good as you will ever get in England. There was hot sunshine for three days. It was a dry pitch, with lowish bounce so you couldnt be bounced out. By the third day there was only a smidgen of turn. England cant make the excuse they were without Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler or Chris Woakes either. New Zealand were without six of their players.

We just dont seem to have the application, discipline or shot selection. Somebody needs to sit down and ask what were you thinking when you played the shot that got you out? Were they even thinking at all?

For example Rory Burns played beautifully in the first innings, and then in the second innings and only his second ball he drove at a wide one that he did not need to play at. It was a teaser, a sucker ball. He played an extravagant cover drive as if he still thought he was 80 not out after the first innings. The coach should be asking what was your thought process?

In the past we were taught the basics and told that a thinking cricketer is a better cricketer. Application is important. Stay sideways on. Move your feet right forward or right back. Bat and pad together. Leave wide balls alone. Get used to the pitch and the bowlers before you go for the big shots. If it swings, which it does at times, see it early, wait for it and play it late.

Generations have been taught the same things.We cant all be wrong. Another basic was stay in and dont give your wicket away. Take your time as it is a five-day game. These basics have not changed. Why do our batsmen not understand these fundamentals of Test-match batting?

Do coaches not teach these basics or do the players refuse to listen? England pick the guys who are making the most runs in county cricket. That is it. For some reason the counties are not turning out enough youngsters with good techniques and the mental attitude to face up to better bowlers and the pressure of Test match cricket.

If you think about it, since Joe Root came through, Ollie Pope is the only one who has looked technically sound. He moves his feet beautifully front and back, has balance and plays straight but still finds ways to get out. He flatters and then deceives. Its extraordinary.

Both openers play chest on. They put their front foot on the wrong side of the ball, and then have to play around their front pad. They are supposed to be the best two openers in English cricket. Yes, they will get runs sometimes but consistency is not possible with those techniques.

Zak Crawley and Dan Lawrence do not have good enough defences. They want to hit the ball before they get in. These are the top four young players we have. Blimey. That is a recipe for inconsistency. They have good hand-eye coordination so will make runs at times but not consistently. Their averages are in the low 30s. That is not going to win you many Test matches.

Recently I read an essay that kept me up at night. The piece, Under the Weather by climate journalist Ash Sanders, left me with an unsettled feeling in the pit of my stomach that I found myself struggling to shake, even weeks later.

The personal essay tells the story of Sanders and a mentor of hers, Chris Foster. Sanders recounts how both she and Foster have struggled for much of their adult lives with a gripping sense of impending doom, a depression deeply tied to their grief for a world lost. She writes about the newly coined terms for environmentally related mental health problemseco-anxiety, climate grief, pre-traumatic stress disorderand suggests that these conditions should not necessarily be viewed as disorders, but rather as the only reasonable response to a world experiencing catastrophe.

She tells the stories of people whose experiences of living have been ruled by this extreme grief, to the point of burnout or withdrawal from societypeople whose climate depression has made their lives feel unbearable. When Sanders asks Foster if he believes he is sick, he replies, I dont know. But I know this: If your heart is breaking, youre on my team.

I am tired of being told that this world I was handed is irrevocably broken.

After reading those final words, I set the book that contained the essay down on my bedside table, suddenly wide awake and reeling. Its not that I dont empathize with Sanders. Since I was a teenager, Ive known that I want to be a part of the fight against climate change and environmental injustice. I know firsthand the realities of mental health struggles, and I know what it is to feel climate anxiety, even climate grief. I know that someone like Sanders or Foster, who has been doing climate work much longer than I have, is likely to experience these emotions to a much higher degree. I am not naive to the incredible task of building a more equitable, safe, and thriving future. Sometimes (often) it overwhelms me.

But equally, I know what it is to watch someone you love feel crushed by the weight of the world, and to feel helpless in lifting that burden. Im 22, barely out of college, and already I have seen more friends than I could have ever imagined fall into deep depression, magnified by their care for the world and the way they felt helpless to stop the suffering within it. I know the way depression closes a person off to the good and spotlights the bad, how it sows seeds of shame and self-doubt and sits back to watch them grow. I wish that I didnt. Depression tells us that we are at once powerless and culpable, and therefore the only logical response is to disengage, turn inward, eschew connectiona response which only serves to reinforce the oppressive systems like racial injustice and capitalism that are truly responsible for our suffering.

In her essay, Sanders described an interaction Foster had with a student who began to cry in one of his lectures as Foster categorized a goal carbon dioxide target of below 350 parts per million as hopeless. The student asked the question, If I didnt have hope, how could I live? and Fosters instinct was to respond with, Exactly. Sanders says Foster knows his attitude doesnt make him easy to be around, but she brushes past what I would argue is the larger issuethat the peddling of despair is unproductive, if not downright irresponsible.

Where is the joy or satisfaction in fighting for a world that is already damned?

Even without professors who declare doom, a hopeless attitude toward the world is already pervasive in communities of young people, both on social media and in person. Ive seen it in my peers, my friends, my partners. On college campuses, cynicism is sometimes equated to intelligence. To be optimistic, Ive been told on multiple occasions, is to be willingly naive. But while misery may love company, it doesnt always leave space for joy. I was made to feel guilty for feeling happiness in a world of darkness. Whether this cynicism is a symptom or the cause of an increase in mental health issues in young people, we know this: The rate of major depression in adolescents increased more than 50% between 2005 and 2017, and the rate of moderate to severe depression in college students nearly doubled between 2007 and 2018.

My generation, unlike Sanders or Fosters, was born into a world where the climate crisis was already well underway. Weve had it hanging over our heads our whole lives. I am tired of being told that this world I was handed is irrevocably broken. I understand that the climate leaders from generations past are tired too, and that the decades of work have disheartened some. The youth climate movement deserves hope and optimism regardless. To imply the impossibility of a livable future or teach a class on catastrophe without giving students the tools to emotionally process the content suggests not a radical awareness of the mental health issues discussed in Under the Weather but rather a blindness to them. We cannot expect people to take care of the world when they are not given the resources to take care of themselves.

The hypothesis known as depressive realism theorizes that people with depression see the world more accurately than their peers, that they are simply unfettered by positive cognitive biases. I dont think it matters whether or not the theory of depressive realism is accurate. (Science suggests it is not). I find it to be unhelpful, maybe even dangerous. If we view depression as an inescapable side effect of living in a damaged world, it may suggest to some that it is pointless to do the things necessary to take care of oneself, or that it is selfish to allow yourself rest while injustice persists and the seas continue to rise.

Doom and gloom do not a movement make.

Neither of those things is true. Whatever the root of depression, its symptoms can be treated. This isnt to say that all it will take is a few therapy sessions to stop being overwhelmed by global catastrophe, and much work must be done to ensure that everyone can have access to treatment. But you dont have to be in crisis to seek help. And we dont have to ignore reality to live fulfilling, happy, and productive lives. The suggestion that a person must either be miserable or ignorant, that we must either accept the weight of the world or turn our backs to it, not only lacks nuance but actively contributes to the suffering its proponents claim to want to address.

And if we really want to make progress on the climate front? Research by experts on climate change communication suggests, perhaps unsurprisingly, that people respond poorly to hopeless depictions of catastrophe. Suggesting readers should be depressed about the future results in more apathy than action. In other words, doom and gloom do not a movement make. Where is the joy or satisfaction in fighting for a world that is already damned? I want a different narrative to follow, one that encourages self-care alongside activism, that works intentionally to foster excitement for the future we desire.

Were talking about degrees here, literally, so there is no point at which we can no longer strive to make the future better than it otherwise would be. To Sanders and Foster, I say this: Tell me of your despair, but dont tell me to despair. The question of whether it is the world or the person who is ailing is too simple. The world is sick but it is not only sick. We all need healing.

Hope is not a happy accident. Hope is a right we must protect.

In one of my final college classes over Zoom in spring 2020, my professor, environmental anthropologist Myles Lennon, led us through a discussion of Braiding Sweetgrass, the awe-inspiring book by Indigenous scholar Robin Wall Kimmerer. Kimmerer writes of the endurance of Indigenous people: despite exile, despite a siege four hundred years long, there is something, some heart of living stone, that will not surrender. The climate crisis is not the first time a people has faced the end of the world. As we navigate this latest existential threat, we would do well to listen to Kimmerer and other Indigenous leaders. As my professor put it that day, existence can cohabitate with collapse. It is not one or the other.

I have a lot of decisions ahead of me. As I consider how I want to live my life, where to dedicate my energy, I refuse to accept the idea that I must sacrifice all joy to attend to the worlds problems. I know myself to be more helpful when I have addressed my own needs: needs for good food and good company, for hope, for long afternoons in the sunshine. I am grateful for the teachers that I have had in this movement, such as professor Lennon, and the people who have reminded me of all the reasons to imagine a brighter future. I know that hope is not a happy accident. Hope is a right we must protect. Hope is a discipline, according to Mariame Kaba, an organizer and educator building the movement for transformative justice.

The climate crisis is ongoing. And, also, a bird is building a nest in the eaves outside my window. Come spring, there will be new birth. In shaky hands, I hold these two truths together.

Glenn Whipp, Los Angeles Times Published 5:23 p.m. ET June 16, 2021

Up until March 2020, Trevor Noah had spent nearly every night of the last 15 years in front of an audience. He hosted educational shows, game shows, awards shows, reality shows in his native South Africa. He toured relentlessly as a stand-up comedian before succeeding Jon Stewart as the host of "The Daily Show" six years ago and then still toured nonstop on the three days of the week he wasn't in front of the camera. I tell him that in the Before Times, no matter where I found myself on the road to Vegas, back East reporting a story, up north visiting friends I'd inevitably run across a billboard bearing his smiling face, promoting an upcoming show at some venue.

"That's hilarious," Noah says, chuckling. "And I don't doubt it for a minute." We're speaking via Zoom, and Noah's in a corner of his west Manhattan apartment, his image resembling the way I've seen him for the last 16 months since "The Daily Show" became "The Daily Social Distancing Show" and he began broadcasting from a nook in that apartment. Only as it's 95 degrees in New York today, he's wearing a white T-shirt instead of what has been his signature quarantine attire, a hoodie.

When the pandemic hit last year, forcing Noah physically homeward and mentally inward, "The Daily Show" producers asked if he'd like someone to come to his apartment and build a set. Noah declined, and it wasn't a difficult decision. If he was going to be required to stay home, he didn't want to forget the gravity of the situation. So Noah simply set up a couple of iPhones in the corner of a bedroom where he has a couple of bookshelves (those are World Cup trophy souvenirs you see in the background) and a TV screen that's hooked up to an Xbox and PlayStation.

Over the years, Noah, 37, has used daily routines and goals to help him deal with anxiety and depression. The isolation of the pandemic erased those grooves. Monday became Friday. Wednesday became Sunday. Noah couldn't remember the day of the week, much less the date on the calendar. Noticing the slowly changing seasons outside his window provided his only real bearing. Playing "Call of Duty: Warzone" with crews of friends jumping out of virtual airplanes and shooting each other became a new routine, feeling more normal than the actual surreal empty streets of New York.

"Oh, I mean, it was terrible. Are you kidding me?" Noah says. "If anyone struggles with depression, if anyone's working through anxiety, you can do a good job of managing that. You can manage how you eat, you can manage how you exercise, how you get fresh air, how you associate with people. All of these things contribute to your mental health. Having it all stripped away at once took a toll on society that I don't even think we've begun to understand."

Bank on Noah though to lead the conversation toward awareness on that subject, just as he has done on "The Daily Show" through the last 16 months, talking about the weight of the pandemic, the viral videos of police killing Black Americans, the turbulence and turmoil of the presidential election, the Capitol insurrection and, dear Lord, every other aspect of the tumultuous time we've lived and continue to live through.

"Let's move on from some bad news ... to more bad news," Noah said during a transition in an early September episode that opened with the apocalyptic orange-hued skies of the California wildfires. He could have used the line pretty much any time during the last year. But somehow, Noah's calm voice and playful humor helped make the rolling nightmares a little less scary.

"I do it selfishly, because when I make people feel better, I feel better," Noah says of his attempts to help his audience navigate the news and, when appropriate, feel a tinge of optimism. "There's almost a self-fulfilling prophecy in that if you can make people feel better, then that means there is still hope. And if there's still hope, then you can still feel hopeful. So that cycle continues."

"2020 wasn't an awakening for Trevor," says "Daily Show" correspondent Roy Wood Jr. "A lot of shows had to make tonal shifts because of the time we were in. The only thing we shifted was the type of cameras we use."

"The Daily Show" was the first late-night show to broadcast from home when the pandemic began, and it may be the last to go back to the studio as restrictions ease. That return is inevitable, as is Noah's resumption of his stand-up dates. Things are returning to normal, whatever that is.

A few weeks ago, Dave Chappelle popped into New York for a handful of surprise shows and called Noah, inviting him to come to one. Noah rode his bike down to the Stand NYC comedy club near Union Square, just planning to watch. But he wound up on stage, and it was exhilarating and new, both for him and the audience. Everyone was out of practice doing this whole communal thing.

"I remember saying to the audience, 'You know I didn't prepare because I rode a bicycle to the show,'" Noah says. "'You don't ride a bicycle to something that might end in your failure, because then you have to ride home on a bicycle, and that's not exactly how you want to revel in your defeat.'"

This is a perfect Noah joke, because first, it's funny, and, second, it's analytical. Ask Noah a question and he will attack it from every angle. "Daily Show" showrunner Jen Flanz says his "mind is always going," and, indeed, Noah occasionally ends his thoughts with the term "et cetera," repeating it four, five, six times, basically acknowledging that A) he realizes he has probably already thoroughly addressed the topic at hand and B) he could still keep going because, in fact, there's a lot more to say.

What's occupying Noah's thoughts as the country reopens is how all that quiet time that was imposed upon him during the last 16 months may have changed him. He knows he is different. How could he not be? Flanz says she and Noah have talked about whether, once life returns to normal (knock on wood), people will fall back into familiar patterns or maybe fight to reclaim their routines or perhaps find themselves seeing things through a different lens. Noah believes he will move forward, actively asking: "Is this what I want to be a part of my life? Is that what I want to be part of my life?" And it might not be a yes or no answer. It might be a yes, but just a small part, a fraction of what it was before.

"I've spent over a decade working nonstop," Noah says. "And I mean nonstop. Which is a badge of honor in America. In many other parts of the world, people would say, 'You have a problem.' I've missed weddings. I've missed birthdays. I've missed funerals. Then something like this happens and you go, 'Man. I've missed a lot of life.' And so when you look back on those things, I can tell you I have no memory of me going, 'Ah, man, I can't wait to get back to the red carpet.' No. I can't wait to getting back to sitting in a living room with my best friends. I can't wait to get back to having a barbecue in the park. I can't wait to get back to celebrating a friend who's had a baby or celebrating a milestone in my siblings' lives.

"Those are the things that I've fallen into the trap of taking for granted, because you felt like those things were always promised and always going to happen, and I felt like a career was something that had to be now and had to be all the time," Noah says. "Yet, ironically, who would have thought: A pandemic would hit the world, the world would shut down and the one thing that wouldn't stop would be work."

Noah laughs. Because it's kind of funny, as bitter truths sometimes are. Flanz thinks Noah will find it challenging to regulate his love for performing and not revert to the habit of nonstop performing. Noah wonders about this too, knowing how much he misses audiences and how he feels that there's a part of his brain that's been dormant for the past year and a half. "I can actually feel it," he says. "I can feel neurons in my brain that haven't fired."

Can he find a balance between the euphoria he gets from sharing feelings and ideas with groups of total strangers and the small pleasures found in down time spent with family and friends? Probably? Maybe? Noah searches his restless mind and doesn't have a definitive answer. And he's truthful enough to admit that he doesn't know, an attitude that has made him an effective voice during this time of uncertainty. We can't say for certain how the last year has transformed us. It's too soon. But we can talk about it, explore it, attempt to understand it, learn from it, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

Walking outdoors and mindfulness

Meditation is a practice that is beneficial for the mind and body. Taking a little time to relax and clear your head is important for a balanced life. The dictionary defines meditation as engaging in contemplation or reflection, or practicing mental exercise (like the concentration on breathing or repetition of a mantra) for the purpose of reaching a heightened level of spiritual awareness. If you prefer to move while doing this kind of deep thinking, walking meditation might be the best method for you.

While some practices require you to sit still or lay down, walking meditation is a chance to move around with a concentration on your body and how it feels. According to Peloton yoga instructor and meditation coach Dr. Chelsea Jackson Roberts, "Walking meditations are specifically designed to cultivate awareness and mindfulness while moving." Whether you move along a path indoors or head outside to be one with nature, walking meditation is one way to center yourself while getting some exercise.

Before you begin your walking meditation journey, consider what you'd like to get out of the experience. "Be intentional about where you want to walk, how long you will walk, and make sure that you are dressed comfortably in order to reduce any distractions. Make a plan [for] your intention during the walk," suggest Dr. Jackson Roberts. After you've prepared yourself it's time to figure out where you want to go. Travis Eliot, yoga instructor, meditation teacher, and co-founder of Inner Dimension TV, suggests finding a spot where you feel the most comfortable. "To prepare for walking meditation, find a quiet place where you can walk comfortably back and forth for 10-20 paces," he says. "It can be indoors or outdoors but it should be an environment where distractions are minimal and you feel at ease."

Story continues

Once you've chosen your location and set your intentions, it's time to start moving. When asked about the steps of walking mediation spiritual teacher and author Mathew Ferry acknowledges that meditation can take many forms. "There are no rules to meditation, and you have full discretion to be creative," he says. But if you really need a jumping-off point, Eliot suggests choosing a path and getting in proper alignment. "Begin by standing at one end with your feet spread about hips distance for stability. Allow your arms and hands to rest comfortably down along your sides. Close your eyes, and take a moment to feel grounded and centered. Feel the physical sensation where your feet make contact with the ground," Eliot explains. Then, when you're ready, slowly open your eyes in what Eliot calls a relaxed state of alertness.

Begin to walk slowly along your selected path and relax and let your walking feel natural. "Bring awareness to each step as you experience the sensations of lifting and placing your foot on the ground. Move at a pace that keeps you most present and aware. When you get to the end of the path, pause for a moment-center yourself, slowly turn around, pause again and when ready, proceed with awareness back along the path," Eliot says. Continue this practice for 10 minutes or longer. You can customize these steps as you see fit, as long as you focus on the point: inner peace.

More than its obvious physical pros (we all know walking is a great form of exercise) walking meditation can have many health benefits. "The intention of walking meditation is to develop and nourish an embodied awareness as you move. A walking meditation practice connects your mind and body to the present moment," says CorePower Yoga master trainer Amy Opielowski. The benefits of this practice include a calm and clear mind and supporting your ability to focus and to be fully present in each moment, explains Opielowski. "As you learn how to show up fully for each moment of life you will experience an overall expansive sense of wellbeing."

Ferry points out that letting go of negative interactions, gaining insight, and getting clarity about the next steps in life can be obtained through the quiet time you spend with yourself during walking meditation.

Global Yoga And Meditation Accessories Market to Generate Exciting Opportunities in the Industry by 2027 The Manomet Current - The Manomet Current

England forward Raheem Sterling has said he meditates in his downtime during the Euro 2020 to "stay connected" to his body and brain.

Sterling scored in Sunday's 1-0 win over Croatia as England began the Euros with a victory for the first time in nine attempts.

The Manchester City forward, who was at the weekend awarded an MBE for his services to racial equality in sport, said meditation helped him feel relaxed.

"I'm doing a little bit of meds," Sterling told British media. "I try and do it before I go to sleep get relaxed before I go to sleep. Just taking time out, being thankful and grateful for the day.

"(I'm) just trying to get connected. On the whole, not a lot of us get connected to our bodies and our brains so I am trying to get everything as one connected and be in a good place," he added.

Q. The pandemic makes your book especially timely, as it's partlya meditation on another illness, AIDS. Is that just a coincidence?

A. Yes, it is a coincidence, but I believe entirely in coincidences, especially as they happen in the process of writing. So the work becomes a meditation on pandemics, morality, the body, all stuff that was already in the Guibert novel and felt so eerily magnified in the process of living through and writing the book.

Q. What have you read lately that you would recommend, and what are you planning to read next?

A. I recently wrote the introduction to the Portuguese writer Maria Judite de Carvalho's 1966 novel,Empty Wardrobes, translated by the great Margaret Jull Costa and published by Two Lines Press. I've also been loving the novels of the French writer, Marie NDiaye, translated by Jordan Stump, also published by Two Lines Press.

I've been reading the diaries of the artist, Eva Hesse, for a novel that I'm working on that, in part, thinks through her sculptural practice. Next up is School of the Arts Professor Susan Bernofsky's biography of Robert Walser, for an event that I'm doing with her via the Center for the Art of Translation, in June. I also am looking forward to reading Thalia Field's new collection,Personhood.

Q. What are your summer plans?

A. I have an eight-month-old baby and a four-year-old, so my summer will revolve around them, and going to Prospect Park with them hopefully almost every day. I also am intending to eke out some of the collection I'm working on,The Missing Person.

Q. You're hosting a dinner party. Which three scholars or academics, dead or alive, would you invite, and why?

A. I would definitely invite friends who are thinkers and writers I love that I long to seeBhanu Kapil, Sofia Samatar, Danielle Dutton, T. Fleischmann are four that come to mind, but there are many more! And I probably wouldn't host a dinner partyI would try to attend a dinner party someone else hosted if I had childcare!
