It's more polite to "ghost" at a party than to make a big fuss about leaving.

The protest stories from my parents’ retirement communities are amazing. Budgets for sign making committee, transportation sign ups, walker brigade v mobility carts fracas. Fired up seniors are something to behold.

yes! this dude will back down to anyone who tells him to fuck himself! this is the only response worth having!
Trump’s sputtering response to Harvard standing up to him is yet another reason why institutions should refuse to bend the knee. He’s a paper tiger, unable to argue his own case.

Those of us who work in aging point this out all the time! Plenty of selfish reasons for everyone of all ages to support programs that prevent from starving.
This is a good, funny sign. But it gets at a key element of what Social Security does. Middle aged people who aren't fully supporting aging parents can fund their kids education. It runs through the whole life cycle.

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people.
We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

Case management services are essential for helping older adults thrive. But a lack of City funding means there simply aren’t enough case managers to provide services.
The City must invest in human services nonprofits, who are a lifeline for our communities.
