Maciej Kucharczyk of @ageplatformeu.bsky.social: projections of how old age is creates expectations. Young people of today will be older, and if we do not invest into making ageing a positive experience today they will be left with a negative image about their own ageing

‘Older persons are too often made invisible’, said @olderpersons.bsky.social. This is evident in her thematic reports, such as on legal capacity. Supported decision-making is often unavailable to older ppl and they are still deprived of their legal capacity https://buff.ly/3ZP1brq
