I am thinking more about airport special assistance, in the light of conversations about care & in/inter/dependence at @enas-agestudies.bsky.social Recognising the reality of everyone's interdependence is critical. But at an airport the environment is so controlled and so fatigue-unfriendly [cont.d]

I love Spanish trains! So fast, so comfortable. I don't understand the ticket pricing system - I've twice got tickets significantly cheaper than my travelling companions despite them booking in advance and me buying at the station just before travelling, but it's a total bargain for my prices!

Summary of Bulgarian ageing policy shifts. 1950s sounds like UK policy for people with learning disabilities and mental health problems - large fairly self-sufficient institutions in the countryside. But only for men. @enas-agestudies.bsky.social

Fantastic theoretically-sophisticated and emotionally complex paper from Botakoz Kassymbekova (Zürich uni) about ageing after hunger in Kazakhstan and Ukraine. A conference highlight for me. @enas-agestudies.bsky.social

I also love this use by @nicoledalmer.bsky.social of floorplans to make things more concrete, to enable young people to imagine tech in their later life. Really interesting findings too @enas-agestudies.bsky.social

I love this idea for a serious game. And not just for the rhyme in the name in French!

Ooh, my picture has been flagged for 'adult content'! I don't think it is, it's just cartoons of naked women in a not sexualised way. Maybe the fact I said 'sex shop' in the tweet as well set off the alarms?

'Ages of women' cartoon in a sex shop window in Lleida. I always find these fascinating for normative ideas about ageing and gender. They were really popular in the 18th and 19th century but I've not seen many modern ones that are not jokey. I don't think this one is jokey? But I may be misreading

I'm happy that my #LongCovid #CFS is okayish enough for me to attend a conference in Spain but noting #CripTax /crip inconveniences: 1) inaccessible station meant I had to get someone to carry my bag over the bridge 2) getting from the train station to the airport will tire me [cont.d]

These look like really useful resources to support LGBTQ+ people doing research fieldwork, especially now. I haven't had a chance to watch the clips yet but the third flyer in particular is a great summary of key issues.

In the Vagina Museum, a forest of menopause stories is blooming. We ask our visitors "what does a good menopause look like to you?". Every card contains a story, an experience, a hope, a wish or an intention as our visitors start a journey in reimagining menopause...

We have hit our target! The Vagina Museum is saved! This #WomensHistoryMonth, together we prevented the Vagina Museum from becoming a footnote in women's history. Instead, we made women's history. This community prevailed against overwhelming forces... in a single day. www.gofundme.com/f/btscc2
