Looking forward!

[Susan Flory @thebigmiddlepod]

Let's amend that to "meet Kyrié and Ryan soon" as we just hit a logistics ditch. In the meanwhile, you'll be more than busy digging into their heaving - but beautifully organised - #OldSchoolInfo toolbox.

So grateful for the chance to share some of my thoughts with the world during such a challenging time... https://t.co/aUboXHQwnt thanks @changingaging ! #covidageism #agequeer #queerage #exposeageism

I am so honored to be able to share this important, wise and poignant look at why we need to queer age now more than ever. Age Queer by Ryan Backer https://t.co/Tn4V1g28Qr

[Ryan Backer @trustsum1over30]

I agree, it is a very problematic organization. Maggie Kuhn- the original founder- was a pretty cool old white lady, though. But definitely not the best name/branding choice at all.

What a privilege to talk with the woman who invented the term #intersectionality. #Activism is intersectional too, and the need for it has never been greater.

[Federica @FedericaPREVI]

#COVID19 at first we wanted to protect #olderpeople people so we asked them to stay home, then the health system crashed and we called back older doctors and nurses from retirement, is the utility of policies based on chronological age is even more questionable now? #CovidAgeism

Article calling out ageism against youngers during this turbulent and confusing time.
