Social change AGEnt, speaker & writer on #ageism. Championing age inclusion in the workplace. Committed to SLAYING the ageism dragon.

I believe in:
—Democracy
—Women's rights
—We are the leaders we've been waiting for.
—Don't talk about it, be about it.
What are we missing and missing out on?

Here's what employers miss out on when they push out or refuse to hire older adults because of outdated stereotypes.

It's time to end #Ageism and reap the benefits of #Intergenerational teams.

Woke up this morning with this thought:

In this turbulence, what all communities and workplaces need are people with the insights and experience of going through other times of great change.

And so I wrote this. The only thing that will get in the way? #Ageism

It is tough out there for lots of people right now.

Let's try to do this, shall we?

Have had a hectic week in my day work, you know, slaying the #Ageism dragon.

So have missed some of the current news, including #Musk and #Doge requesting the #FederalEmployees detailing their accomplishments. Really?

I asked my friends at #ChatGPT for some ideas.

Which is your favorite?

My congressional representative Jeff Hurd was a no-show at the Town Hall citizens called in CD #3.

Little cat was disturbed to learn of this.

Musk's cuts will devastate rural communities.

She—along with many CD3 constituents—feels UnHurd!

Yes, they ARE "eating the checks."

My favorite sign from social media today; a friend took the photo at a protest in a red part of #Colorado.

Thank you to the friend who sent me this notebook this week.

Is there a more perfect notebook for journaling the times we are in?

Simon is wondering why @bsky.app has not responded to concerns about the #Ageism in its first anniversary meme.

Oh, @bsky.app love you & need you in our fight to save #democracy. But did you need to celebrate with such an #ageist and #sexist visual & message?

Yes, I've just reported your post to you as violating your community guidelines, and also alienating a group who are part of your platform. #EndAgeism
