It’s #IDOP or International Day of The Older Person. Who is your favorite older person? Mine will always be my mum #CelebrateAgeing Celebrate Ageing

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...

The #Embolden2025 Congress and Symposium are FREE and online, because we want to make them as accessible as possible www.celebrateageing.com/embolden2025...

So proud of this project. Older women ROCK youtu.be/_ApmPSW8eEk

Looking forward to a story about #TheBiscuitTin project this evening. Can’t say more yet. Have you checked out the webpage? It’s a beautiful, warm, powerful primary prevention project building respect for older women www.celebrateageing.com/thebiscuitti...

It’s #IWD and this year we are particularly proud of what we have achieved: 1. A resource on Older Women and a LifeStages Approach to the National Plan to End Violence Against Women and their Children 2. A Gender Lens for Elder Abuse Prevention 3. A Facilitator Kit for the Biscuit Tin project.

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

We need a gender lens for Elder Abuse prevention. Just posted our submission to the National Plan www.emboldenfestival.com/uploads/1/5/...

We are reclaiming Valentine’s Day for people living with dementia. We are proud to launch #TheKiss Kit for Facillitators. This is a great project to destigmatise dementia and connect people living with dementia to families and friends that matter so much. www.museumoflove.com.au/thekiss.html

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

#TheKiss is a celebration of love in the lives of people living with dementia. It’s about full citizenship and reclaiming Valentine’s Day #TheMuesumOfLove

It’s Valentine’s Day, a day to recognize the humanness of people living with dementia by celebrating the importance of love in their lives #TheMuseumOfLove #TheKiss

8 years ago we pledged to reclaim Valentine’s Day as a celebration of love in the lives of people living with dementia. We set up #TheMuseumOfLove and today we share #TheKiss between a person living with dementia and someone they love.

Please join Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Commissioner Micaela Cronin to help launch this important resource events.humanitix.com/older-women-...

Thanks @ABCAustralia and @MichaelaCronin for shining the light on the silencing of older women. Special thanks to @KateLyons from @TheGuardian for the original story www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington, joined @maddowmaddow and responded to comments made by President Trump — who criticized her appeal to “have mercy” on constituents, specifically naming LGBTQ people and immigrants.

Another reason to love @bsky.app and @ChrisAnderson CEO of @TED. Open letter published 5 days ago

“She has changed the rules, reversed the language and given women permission to reject shame.” Gisèle Pelicot is a 72 year old survivor, leader, inspiration.

A very special song from Chris Martin and Dick Van Dyke youtu.be/o4OlL0OpbW8

Beautiful flag. Beautiful people.

Today we launched a report on ending violence against older women. It’s a companion doc to the National Plan to End Violence Against Women and their Children. www.emboldenfestival.com/uploads/1/5/...

In Australia 19 older women have been killed this year, 9 by their sons. We launch a report tomorrow to promote inclusion of older women in strategies to end violence

What a joyous story this is. www.theguardian.com/music/2024/d...

Today is International Day of People with a Disability and here is the fabulous film by Chris Franklin that won the National Focus on Ability Film Festival last year. Amazing stories of Polio Survivors. Well done Shirley Glance and Post Polio Victoria Inc. youtu.be/H3EyoOOQ8MM

This is so beautiful and dignified and valuing of people living with dementia. Love it. Thanks for sharing Sally Knocker youtu.be/LDzXb6pRv_I

A big thankyou to all the “women of a certain age” who feel empowered enough to call it out. Men of a certain age calling it out also welcomed. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

It’s World AIDS Day and a time when we think about how to support people ageing with HIV. Removing the layers of stigma (HIV, Queerphobia, ableism, ageism) could transform what people living with HIV experience

Gisèle Pelicot on the cover of Vogue magazine. Strategies for gender equality must include older women

A post dedicated to all the beautiful TGD folks I know. And their allies. It’s TransGender Day of Remembrance and so important to remember #LoveMakesUsFamily #RespectMakesUsStrong

This powerful project is #TheBiscuitTin, raising awareness of the contributions of older women and the ageism-sexism that drives the inequalities they experience

This beautiful man is Max. He was part of our #OldisBeautiful project. A revolution in respect for older people. Workshops to combat internalized ageism and image reclaiming by beauty to influence cultural change. So much fun.
