This is appalling. If these people actually used mobiltiy aids, would it disqualify them for political office? In an ageist ableist world, yes. Shame on @newyorker, yet again, for sanctioning #discrimination—especially in a world of longer lives. newyorker.com/culture/cover-…

The latest from my blog, produced by my excellent Intern Brooke Silver.
What do you like about your age? “I like the wisdom that you get with age. I now understand many things I did not know when I was younger … I have learned to be grateful for every morning I get to wake up in the morning.” Learn more about Ruth here: ageinamerica.blog/2022/08/16…

The power & influence of Kim Kardashian & the anti-aging industrial complex is astounding. While this #fixedit attempt won’t end #ageism or #gunviolence perhaps it demonstrate the hypocrisy & futility of a culture that embraces both. #BanAssaultWeaponsNow

I am fascinated & yet not surprised that the first finding noted in this new brief from @FrameWorksInst on communicating about nursing homes is that the public sees aging as a period of inherent and inevitable decline. bit.ly/35Q14CH

It appears that NONE of the major LTC outlets covered this CNA survey. I’m not sure why b/c it’s the most important thing happening in the field today. We need to make this viral! nahcacna.org/cnas-cite-low-w…
