#HappyValentinesDay #EndAgeism

Lest we think that ageism is a Western phenomenon, according to the World Health Organization, "Globally, 1 in 2 people are ageist against older people...." (www.who.int/health-topic...) Here's an op-ed from The Nile Post in Uganda. nilepost.co.ug/opinions/242...

An important post for all physicians to heed. Any silence on their part is complicity in jeopardizing the health of their patients.

It is the darkest of all possible humor that Disney is publicly rolling back their DEI initiatives and removing content warnings from older, racially-insensitive work on the same week that they are releasing a new MCU movie with a Black man as Captain America.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Good advice ⬇️

This year's #OlderAmericansMonth theme is #FliptheScript on #aging. To prepare, check out my book "AGING SIDEWAYS: Changing Our Perspectives on Getting Older" (amzn.to/4gp7xUl), which contains lots of quirky, surprising ways to think and talk about aging as well as strategies for busting #ageism.

Oh, @bsky.app. We love you and want you to do better. Why be #Ageist? Thank you @jeanetteleardi.bsky.social and @andelyons.bsky.social for alerting me to the meme. Let's end #Ageism, shall we? www.linkedin.com/pulse/ageism...
