For a world without closets I can't get it out of my head an interview in this same newspaper I spoke with an expert on ageism, and she explained that she hides her birthdate because it harms her. She knows what she's talking ab...

"#Ageism, especially against #women, discriminates against us in every area. But I'm shocked by the act of hiding one's age. I've spent the last few years championing maturity, and it pisses me off to see age become another kind of closet." 🙌 @annamanso.bsky.social en.ara.cat/sunday/for-w...

Act Now to Save Housing for Older Adults The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is moving to gut funding for permanent supportive housing (PSH), putting more than 170,000 people –

170,000 Americans are at risk of losing their homes under a plan to cut the federal government’s largest homeless assistance program.

📢 Take action by reminding lawmakers that older adults in your community rely on these programs to keep a roof over their heads.

TCAS wishes to thank Dr. Nadine Changfoot for her hard work and dedication as Acting Director this past year! We wish her nothing but the best going forward!

She leaves us with this video that speaks to the question: How old is old? And, how do we shift the way society thinks about aging?

Why was this stranger calling me sweetheart? The benevolent ageism of ‘elderspeak’ It wasn’t the first time Marcia van Zeller had been treated as someone in need of a lap rug and a cup of hot cocoa. But well-intended words can still sting

Benevolent #ageism is nevertheless insulting and unwelcome. “Ask them to change the way they are speaking with you,” counsels my wise friend and Aussie age advocate. Easier said than done, but necessary. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

No, age isn’t just a number – and the sooner we realise that, the happier we will be It’s tempting to want to stay young for ever. But each new life stage brings gains as well as losses

The Budget Reconciliation Act of 2025 Means Harmful Cuts for Older Adults - Justice in Aging This resource provides a high-level outline of the impact of H.R. 1 on health care, long-term care, economic security, and civil rights of low-income older adults.

As Trump's "big, beautiful bill" guts Medicaid funding, states will be forced to scale back services deemed "optional" under federal law.

Home- and community-based services—like health aides and adult day programs—make up most of this optional spending, so they will be first on the chopping block.
