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. https://t.co/773VXdo5vR

@AgingMeg @LeadingAge A place where people of all ages live and work and where the people who need assistance are investors and decision makers as well as partners in their care. It would also be integrated into the larger community.

Sophie, 98: “Some people have different ideas about age … They just automatically shut you off. My opinion and ideas are sometimes immediately invalid and rejected because of my age.”

"Looking old is not a health issue. Dreading looking old, on the other hand, very much is." Read @jessicadefino_ 's quick take on how harmful “anti-aging” products and procedures can be. https://t.co/vNzeOcdHvC

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.”

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.

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.

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!
