DATE CHANGED to 28 April 2025 (Monday)
Ageism, which is how we think (stereotypes), feel (prejudices), and act (discrimination) towards others or ourselves based on age, is harmful for our health and well-being. The UN Global report on ageism shows that ageism has serious consequences for our physical / mental health, impacts negatively on our social well-being, and takes a heavy economic toll on individuals and society. To stop the damage, urgent action is needed to address ageism around the world.

Join this launch webinar for the new WHO Ageism Scale: a set of extensively tested metrics designed to monitor ageism levels worldwide, illuminate its drivers and consequences, and evaluate the impact of interventions aimed at reducing ageism.

This first-of-its-kind tool, developed for the WHO Global Campaign to Combat Ageism, marks a significant step forward in our global effort to take action to combat ageism and create #AWorld4AllAges.

Today one of #USRepresentative Brian Mast's district offices turned its landscape sprinkler system on about 40 #SeniorCitizens gathered to demand he schedule a #TownHall, something he has not offered constituents of any age since 2017.

The good natured crowd was undeterred & heard to say:

"OK Brian, we'll get wet

But you ain't had

A Town Hall yet!"

Imagine spraying old ladies rather than answering their questions. Some fecking hero.

#Seniors #SocialSecurity

All #SeniorCitizens like me (I'm 75 this year) are not addled or infirm but thanks for offering your help to help those who may be.

I know how to access the #SSA website & receive notices from them periodically, including the recent notice of the 40% increase in my #SocialSecurityBenefits plus a nice lump sum payment for past due benefits that I just received due to the passage of the Social Security Fairness Act (#SSFA).

From the article: "With people aged 75 and older projected to be the fastest growing segment of the U.S. workforce, HR leaders face an urgent challenge: adapting workplaces to accommodate older employees working past the traditional retirement age.

“As our workforce ages, employers must shift their mindset to view accommodations for older workers not as an added burden but as an opportunity to enhance productivity, retain talent and foster an inclusive workplace,” said Brandy Burch, CEO at Benefitbay, a benefits solutions provider.

"The demographic shift is already well underway. The average age of workers in the U.S. is 42, with some industries skewing even older. Yet, many companies fall behind when it comes to accommodating older employees."

From the article: "The Social Security Amendments of 1972 created a special minimum benefit to protect low-earning seniors against poverty in old age by giving them a higher benefit than they would receive through the regular Social Security benefit formula. But the minimum benefit has failed to reach many poor beneficiaries due to design limitations. In fact, no new retirees have become eligible for it since 1998."

From the artricle: "In the United States, about 2.7 percent of adults 50 to 64 and about 1.8 percent of those over 65 identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, according to a review of research and U.S. Census data by the UCLA School of Law. Compared to older adults who do not identify as LGBTQ+, the research finds they are more likely to live alone or to be single, to be financially insecure and to struggle with physical or mental health. Members of the LGBTQ+ community also are less likely to have children who might help care for them as they age."
