Please share. Close friend of a friend has been missing for 4 nights now and the family is desperately appealing for people in these areas to check dashcam and doorbell footage #FindingSarahEverard

[Mike Buckley @mdbuckley]

The Govt and media treat Covid in children as inconsequential. In reality thousands of kids are living with long Covid - many getting worse not better. Some have been sick since March last year. The Govt need to act.

An article with a different view of #ageism and #COVID19, published in The Gerontologist, with another one of my brilliant graduate students, Deanna Vervaecke -- "Caremongering and Assumptions of Need: The Spread of Compassionate Ageism During COVID-19". https://t.co/ynRfJpeqeV

.@ExeterUCU is calling for face-to-face teaching to be stopped immediately and transferred to online because students and the local community are being put at ‘serious’ risk. Students were ‘mis-sold’ a ‘meaningful experience’

As shielding restrictions lift from tomorrow, we are calling on @RishiSunak to run a furlough-style scheme for workers who are #shielding or high risk and cannot safely return to work.

No one should have to choose between their job and their health.

Lovely piece from Louise Pendry #positiveage
I fought ageing hard before deciding to go grey. It was the start of a brilliant new midlife

“As far as I’m aware she does not have any degree in economics.”

“I was and I remain a professor of economics.”

This is what happened when a Brexit Party MEP questioned the expertise of Green MEP Molly Scott Cato over post-Brexit trade.

If I had more time this would have been my Sunday Paper pick on The Sunday Programme:
"The young will get old, if they’re lucky."
I'm sure there are many at the Cenotaph today who feel especially lucky.
Can we cancel #ageism?

Could scarcely believe my ears this morning when I heard privileged males who are rarely on the receiving end of violence finding punching women comical.

[Andrew Bell @aw_bell]

Was that a laugh I detected from John Humphries at the end of a story about a male tango dancer hitting his female partner? And David Davis chortling along too?
Two old blokes finding macho violence against women humorous. Not acceptable #r4today
