@bmxescape reveals a scandalous fact about himself to @firesidefedi. He is apparently 51! While he looks like he is 30 or so. Good preservation, Ben!

Older adults are not just beneficiaries โ€” they are leaders, mentors, caregivers, volunteers, workers and rightsโ€‘holders whose knowledge, experience and resilience strengthen families and communities. As the global population ages, we must ensure access to health care, social protection, inclusive services and legal safeguards so older persons can thrive with dignity, autonomy and safety.

Today we honor the experience, wisdom, and voices of our elders. This yearโ€™s theme, โ€œEmpowering Elderly Voices for an Inclusive Future,โ€ reminds us to listen, include, and create opportunities so older adults can shape family, community, and public life.

Senior Citizens Day honors the lifetime contributions and wisdom of older adults while shining a light on urgent challenges they face, like isolation, limited healthcare access, and ageism. The 2025 theme, โ€œEmpowering Elderly Voices for an Inclusive Future,โ€ calls for listening to seniors, removing barriers to participation, and making homes, services, and public spaces truly ageโ€‘friendly. Centering elder perspectives strengthens families, communities, and public policy, and prepares society for a rapidly aging world where dignity and inclusion are essential.

Wir haben gerade ein Projekt zum Thema #Ageismus und #Altersdiskriminierung abgeschlossen. Gerade die Auseinandersetzung mit Stereotypen und Altersbildern war sehr spannend. Hier die Projektwebsite, hoffentlich bald nochmal mehr dazu:

Had Barbie aged like the rest of us, hereโ€™s what sheโ€™d look like today

Having been frozen at the age of 19, Barbie has no context for what it means to age โ€” no knowledge of the prejudices and stigmas that come with ageing in the real world.
