How does a magazine like @Allure_magazine that supposedly celebrates women print such garbage like an article #ageism that stipulates hair length based on age They ask “So, what does play for today's mature woman?” The answer is whatever the hell she likes!

News Break"Elderly woman's car get hit by tree" Is age relevant to the degree of the car's damage and/or if there were injuries does the woman's age represent the value of her life? -what purpose is served by mentioning age or is it just stereotypical media #ageism

Another example of the media @nypost perpetuating #ageism-the fact that a stroke victim was abandoned by the cruise line was th crux of the article not that the person was “elderly. What was the reference to age supposed to imply other than age discrimination?

The intention might be to save lives but the use of the “Hey Boomer” tag is divisive & #ageism

INSANE! I thought I heard it all -local mag has a “Best of” edition- they rated a”Best comedian for seniors” I didn’t know humor wasn’t only rated PG but also had a SR rating.

Lawsuit by female bartender 15 yrs at her job- increased $ for bar & developed clientele yet she became “invisible “ at 49 yrs of age & was demoted @Hooters. Aside from the fact that it’s name is a metaphor for women’s’breasts #sexism this action is a prime example of #ageism

Envision-you are an older and disabled person confined to a wheelchair. You sleep in your chair because you don't have a home health care worker to take you to your bed. Reason: Low wages, demanding work & little training. Our laws must address this abuse. #ageism #ableism

The movie “All About Eve” was made in 1950 about an actress (Bette Davis) dealing with #ageism-it’s ludicrous that age discrimination still exists today, 74 years later. It’s time for a change!!!

The NY Times's article titled, "Models Wanted: Must Be Over 40- A fashion label dares to cast middle-aged (and up) women in a runway show." the dicotomy is 👍older women not prohibited from modeling because of age but 👎that it's #ageism for those under 40-why not just ALL Ages

Whether you love him or hate him the characterization of U.S. President Biden as an “Elderly man with a poor memory “ is the epitome of #ageism -apparently the word “elderly” is a catch all designation being used to conjure up images of decrepitude & incompetence-

I overheard 2 parties to a real estate transaction- all done through agents-the buyer & seller had no verbal or visual interaction. The Buyer remarks they think the Seller is old. When asked the reasoning for their opinion,they had no answer-CRAZY!was it # ageism

What happens if you’re in your 50s,70s etc? Do you have to show your birth certificate to buy a ticket & do they @TravelLeisure throw you off the boat if you’re not the “right” age? How ridiculous!! & #ageism

Annuals of Internal Medicine notes about 11 % of people 65+ spend nearly 1 day a week obtaining routine health care-more telemedicine & calls for test results instead of office visits could resolve this but apparently there is little value to an older person's time #ageism

Swimmer, 99, just broke three world records in 100-plus age group-qualifying by her birth year. This is an example that characterizing someone’s abilities by age is #ageism. Some 99 yr olds and 35 year olds spend their days couch surfing while others are out making world records.

NY State is taking a stand against #ageism in November when the ERA NY amendment comes before the voters for ratification. The NY constitution protects against race & religious discrimination, not age or sex/gender-the voters can stop #ageism in NY.

We all age but we don’t necessarily become frail, helpless & sickly the minute we turn 80 & yet @Freedomcare has an ad on TV that declares this is inevitable-it’s not, it’s just #ageism-everyone ages differently
