"It’s an uphill climb when you’re starting out as a young woman in #business." Then, because of gendered #ageism, it gets harder. @GloriaSLS observes, are three ways to undo it: success.com/challenge-age-…
Delighted to be one of @BreneBrown's "Daring Interviews," and honored to be keeping such remarkable company. brenebrown.com/articles/2024/…
"#Ageism is not a disease of [#Advertising ] agency attitudes; it is a structure of agency finances.... What is disappointing in all this is our industry’s collective failure of imagination." David Bain, @TheDrum thedrum.com/opinion/2024/0…
"I don’t believe in the idea of appropriation because I don’t believe in property. And anyway, I prefer to live in a society of thieves than in a society of landlords." Édouard Louis @jacobin jacobin.com/2024/04/edouar…
Reminder: #ageism in the #workplace isn't an old-people problem. Especially in #tech. Especially in China. ft.com/content/5cf306…
"A death certificate would say he died of sepsis from a bone infection, but my friend and I have a term for the illness that killed him: end-stage #poverty... It’s the manifestation of social inequality in people’s bodies.” Appalling. @lindsayryanmd nytimes.com/2024/04/11/opi…
There are only 7,300 board-certified geriatricians in the US—fewer than 1% of all physicians, according to the @AmerGeriatrics. Compare that to more than 60,000 pediatricians, according to the @AAMCtoday. @LouiseAronson washingtonpost.com/health/2024/03…
.@wizehire surveyed more than 1,250 women across 46 countries. A whopping 77.8% said they have encountered age-related discrimination in their careers, citing #ageism as a “critical yet often overlooked barrier to professional growth.” supermarketperimeter.com/articles/11128…
A 2019 State of Inclusion Survey by @Deloitte found that 68% of people said that witnessing or experiencing #bias had a negative impact on their productivity. yourstory.com/2024/04/uncons…
Reader asks: "I’m wondering about a comment in a Guardian column: '...sometimes pivots into negativity are just the souring of a soul, the emergence of cantankerousness with age.' Is there a link, or is this just ageist?" My response here: yoisthisageist.com
What's the real issue? "Criticizing the tweens who shop at @Sephora, instead of a #beauty culture that turns girls' insecurities into purchasing power." 🙌 @ecaviar_ via @jessicadefino_ mashable.com/article/sephor…
In general, people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic groups are more likely to live in overcrowded housing. Better housing options should be provided to people of all ages and backgrounds. Find out more now: ageing-better.org.uk/housing-options
"Through a series of moderated panel discussions, summit participants collaborated on raising awareness of the impact of #ageism and why we all need to change the conversation on aging." Huzzah! @geronsociety @ReframingAging eurekalert.org/news-releases/…
Yo, @ManhattanMini: There’s nothing progressive about #ageism, no matter where you store it. @w42st
"Getting older has raised the bar on my ambition, and simultaneously lowered it." EXACTLY. @emilyraboteau in @OldsterMag oldster.substack.com/p/this-is-47-c…
I’m not sure which statistic hit me the hardest: • the fastest-growing age group in the workforce is people over 75—typicaly not by choice. Or maybe it's: • about 50% of older workers still have physically demanding jobs. @NicoleGoodkind @CNN cnn.com/2024/04/14/eco…
New Yorkers, I'll be giving a talk + Q&A in Manhattan on May 6th at 11AM for Hank, a community for curious people age 55+. Free when you register for the free Hank app (gethank dot com). app.gethank.com/activities/mee…
The second one will surprise you. As @TraceyGendron @encore_janine point out, there are plenty of better, legitimate, non-biased ways to find out what people have to offer their employers and each other. huffpost.com/entry/ageism-w…
The European Court of Human Rights ruled in favour of a group of older Swiss women who claimed that weak government #climate policies have put them at greater risk of death from #heatwaves. 🙌via @AGE_PlatformEU theguardian.com/environment/20…
Aged Care. It's a place you go only if you really must because we're so good at collecting data on abuse but so bad at ending it. How on earth can we keep collecting data like this & not know what on earth is being done for accountability? @k_eagar @JaneCaro @lynlinking

Covid exposed ageism, and now the presidential election is further exposing #ageism.
Yo, @ManhattanMini: There’s nothing progressive about #ageism, no matter where you store it. @w42st
Anita Hill warned us about Clarence Thomas. Hillary Clinton warned us about Samuel Alito. Christine Blasey Ford warned us about Brett Kavanaugh. E Jean Carroll & at least 25 other women warned us about Trump. Imagine where we’d be if their warnings were heeded.
There are very few sights that are as absurd and offensive as Clarence Thomas participating in an obstruction case for January 6th when HIS OWN WIFE IS GUILTY OF THAT SHIT TOO. Are you fucking kidding me???
My daughter sent me a WhatsApp video of my 4 y.o. granddaughter dancing to The Ramones, and knowing the lyrics to Blitzkrieg Bop. I can die happy.
Wherever you are this Eid, I hope you are with your people—people who hold you and know you and appreciate the wonder of you. When I was a little girl in Egypt, I loved wearing my new Eid clothes. This isn’t a new dress but I do love it. 📷 @rerutled
And there went a tree in front of our house in Denver. Grateful that no one was hurt. #cowx
This 👇imagine lots of people told they are at risk of Alzheimer’s without having any symptoms & having the ‘die and die again’ framing buzzing around their brains. So careless, irresponsible & counterproductive
After its recent ad campaign, earlier diagnosis = earlier start to 'devastating' death sentence... Also, if diagnosis depends on detection of Tau and Aβ, but large % of ppl w/ those won't develop Alzheimer's, isn't there the danger of a lot of people living as if dying w/o cause?
