"If aging is a hopeless process that simply is a pathway to deterioration, decline and death, then there is no hope." Please know that aging is not a train ride into pain and loss. We gain so much from aging and I hope that you may see that. #AdvocacyinAging24
"Ageism has no place in our society." - @Agingwithmaia ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
@PReetzke You make great points. I would go further and say that such policies need to be rooted in evidence-based research as well as ideas that are sought out from older adults. We need to strive to hear the needs of older adults as opposed to assuming their needs. #AdvocacyInAging24
Social media can be used. as an essential tool to bridge generations, creating opportunities for meaningful connections across ages. From sharing stories to learning new perspectives, it can be used to foster intergenerational understanding and collaboration. #AdvocacyinAging24
returning to ancestral foodways reconnects us to the land, our culture, and our health. #AdvocacyinAging24 looks like amplifying the diverse and varied voices of older adults, recognizing how intersectionality shapes the lived experiences of indigenous and immigrant elders

compassionate ageism is the belief that all or most older adults are vulnerable and deserve/need special policies & treatment just because they’re old. it also reminds me of the concept in sw as a “white savior”. #AdvocacyInAging24
Wrapping up this month, celebrating SOCIAL WORKERS!!✨ Cheers to all my fellow social work comrades in the field, making a true difference for our communities. You are needed & appreciated✨

Congratulations to Changing the Narrative for receiving the Ageism and Culture Award for Success in Diminishing Ageism!
A funny thing happened last week. I met a co-worker in my age pool, and I told her she looked good for her age.. at that moment, I backed it up and said, "What is this age supposed to look like?" she said, "Yeah, right.." I apologized instantly. #AdvocacyInAging24
Age is more than just a number. It’s a tapestry woven with the threads of life experiences and challenges that make us who we are today. #AdvocacyInAging24
How would you react if someone said to you, "you don't look a day over 30!"
I heard a caregiver describe the caregiving journey & dementia like, "50 first dates!" Repetitive routines & conversations, day after day..😣
March is National Nutrition Month! Meals on Wheels serves meals homebound older adults at risk of malnutrition. In honor of "March for Meals" I encourage you to reach out to local programs to see if they need additional help this month! #AdvocacyInAging24 #SaveLunch
Went out to dinner w/ friend and the table across was an elder man eating alone my friend stated “how peaceful” and I immediately responded I feel bad .. I then thought to myself how ageist! assuming because he was older and eating dinner alone he was lonely .. #AdvocacyinAging24
Better care policies help make life more affordable for families. Investments in paid leave, child care, and aging & disability care can help improve the lives of millions of Americans. The caring majority is with you, @POTUS! #CareCantWait #SOTU2024

It's important to be able to recognize the unique challenges faced by different communities. #AdvocacyInAging24
This comprehensive article looks at the stigmas surrounding Alzheimer's (& arguably other dementias) from various cultures. Well worth reading! #AdvocacyinAging24

I marched in protest alongside women holding signs that said things like "we won't go back" and "I can't believe we're here AGAIN" who thought this fight was over 50 years ago and remembered life before roe v wade. We need them (and their lives, fights, and rights) to be visible.
In our group discussion in class, we talked about fostering intergenerational connections on Facebook through groups that focus on shared interests such as cooking. What other ways can we foster intergenerational connections on social media? #AdvocacyInAging24
@PReetzke You make great points. I would go further and say that such policies need to be rooted in evidence-based research as well as ideas that are sought out from older adults. We need to strive to hear the needs of older adults as opposed to assuming their needs. #AdvocacyInAging24
I thought it was interesting how they advertised this. I wonder if other countries do anything similar to this to bring awareness. #AdvocacyInAging24
@ASAging as a gerontologist, @AbbottElemABC consistently offers some of the best representations of meaningful intergenerational relationships & older adults in the workforce that I have seen! #AdvocacyinAging24
@PReetzke I will turn thirty pretty soon but I don’t dread it the way that I feel a lot of people my age do now.
Last week in class my breakout group brainstormed some cool ideas for fostering intergenerational connections on TikTok! A unique way we figured we could engage both older and younger users on TikTok by having TikTok sponsor multigenerational trips/outings. #AdvocacyInAging24
Recently, my bus driver was making small talk: Him: "How old are you, 18?" Me: "Close! I'm 28." Him: "That's a game changer! I thought you were a teenager." What is the game? Why should it be good for a woman to look like a teenager? Lots to unpack here. #AdvocacyInAging24
compassionate ageism is the belief that all or most older adults are vulnerable and deserve/need special policies & treatment just because they’re old. it also reminds me of the concept in sw as a “white savior”. #AdvocacyInAging24
I have observed that infantilization (aka "elder speak") propagates ageism. This feeds into the assumption that older adults are like children hence we should treat them as such. They are not children, so we need to have that in mind when interacting with them. #AdvocacyInAging24
This weekend we celebrated my dad’s 60th birthday. During the entire celebration, everyone made so many comments about how much of a blessing it is to have made it to 60. It was refreshing to not have to hear any negative comments about aging or “being too old” #AdvocacyinAging24
Remember, your age does not define you. You are a masterpiece in constant evolution, growing more radiant with each passing year. Let's rewrite the narrative of aging and pave the way for a future where beauty knows no boundaries. ✨ #AdvocacyInAging24
@TheDementiaGuru Thank you! So are you! 🫶🏾
