@gorkhali_soul Could you provide photo credits please? I would like to use this photo in a project but without the name of the photographer I would not be allowed.

My aging body will die, and I am comfortable with that. I do not need to be saved from the fate that we all must meet.

@annasanadvocate This is a really good point, there is a common misconception that the baby boomer generation is super conservative, but I ask you, who was it that originally fought for Roe v Wade? It was that cohort!

@Newageadvocate I love this, I feel like access to people who are different than you was one of the big selling points when the internet started getting big in public spaces. I wonder how many people have more than a 10 range in the people they follow on social media?

"If aging is a hopeless process that simply is a pathway to deterioration, decline and death, then there is no hope."
Please know that aging is not a train ride into pain and loss. We gain so much from aging and I hope that you may see that.

A microaggression isn't harmful because it is untrue or even exaggerated. Like many things that we want to look at when it comes to language that perpetuates stereotypes or siloing ages, it is more about delivery and intent.

@dyingandaging "Wow, you don't look x age" arghghghghgh. Pray, tell me what what 34 looks like exactly? I have fought to live my life, I have worked hard to get where I am. Please do not take that from me.

@activeagingdoc This. I think it is a good way to bring up the fact that ageism, like the other -isms does not have to have malintent to be harmful. Being ageist does not make you a bad person, but it is important to examine your place in the system continually.

The term "Elder Abuse" is not a term that is aligned with gerontological values, but as this is the industry standard term, it is one I feel I must use.

When was the last time you reflected on your own feelings towards getting older? Staying in touch with where we are in our spirit is healthy for us and for our community.

If the anti-aging market share was about 62 BILLION US dollars in 2021, and it would cost about 40 billion per year to end world hunger, WTF are we doing?

@activeagingdoc @dyingandaging This is a good point, and another reason to embrace our bodies as they are!

@activeagingdoc "anti-aging properties"?? Do they cause death? Because that is the only way to stop aging.

Understandably, there is much frustration with the current presidential candidates. I personally feel like it we are being fed the same people over and over again. But we have to let go of the idea that young = progressive. #AdvocacyinAging24

Intergenerational social contact decreases agism. #AdvocacyinAging24

Aging does not need to be an "us" versus "them", do we fund Medicare or Pre-k. The children in pre-k will someday need Medicare and it is up to us to protect the entitlement programs that help us all.
