This is appalling. If these people actually used mobiltiy aids, would it disqualify them for political office? In an ageist + ableist world, yes. Shame on The New Yorker, yet again, for sanctioning #discrimination—especially in a world of longer lives. newyorker.com/culture/cover-…

An excellent review of the show. I agree that it appears the casting advances the anti-aging industry’s harmful beauty standards, w “few wrinkles and mostly gray-hair free.” Perhaps, as the author suggests, this will spark a productive conversation. time.com/6318687/golden…

Thank you LeadingAge for enabling Art Against Ageism to install our #ownyourage Photo Booth at their annual conference. These simple acts of empowerment have a powerful impact on dismantling age bias.

A fantastic examination of “Poor Things” and the irony behind her “look” for its poster. open.substack.com/pub/jessicadef…

Shame on The Economist for this appalling #ableism What does using a mobility aid have to do with the value of a human being? So much for the high ground...
