When I’m older, I want to be more like … the playfulness of Iris April, dignity of Margarita Solis, determination of David Attenborough, forgiveness of Nelson Mandela, grace of Eileen Kramer, perseverance of Brenda Appleton & wildness of Yayoi Kusama
It’s #IDOP Who do you want to be more like?

Ageism is not ‘one thing’. It is different things across different ages, groups and geographies. Please join us for the FREE and ONLINE congress and symposium to develop a tool on understanding the context and characteristics of ageism. Register at: www.celebrateageing.com/embolden2025...

Did I miss something? Why isn’t ageism or gerontophobia considered a motive? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

Well done Janine

Hey @bsky.app so disappointed in this meme. Ageism is so harmful and accounts for $1 in every $7 spent on health in USA. Please do better. Your leadership in not pedaling hate is so important

Bluesky @bsky.app · Feb 6

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been!

with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.

Popular meme format, grandma labeled with "bluesky's public launch was one year ago today." Younger person helping her labeled with "sure grandma let's get you to bed."
