As you head into the week remember:

Be kind
Be fair
Do your best
Be a problem
And, have a good summer

It's very hidden! We're on level two but there's no sign over the doors. #PAA2025

If you are an early bird and you want to see how the @nhats-nsoc.bsky.social data can be used, come check out the "unmet caregiving needs and older adult wellbeing" session Friday at 8 am! #PAA2025

It's important to keep the lore of @paaalpaca.bsky.social alive and well here on Bluesky, especially because we have some new Alpaca friends via @mpidr.bsky.social this year!

PAA Alpaca first showed up at #PAA2019 in Austin and has been a friend to all every PAA (even online during Covid!)

From 2012 to 2022, Americans increased their support for the government providing help to older adults and paying for that help.

Working age adults (ages 18-64) have changed their attitudes more than older adults (ages 65+).
