I got to hear Gloria Steinem speak at the NYPL a decade ago and I'm so glad I did. She was funny and warm.
"Gloria Steinem was a pioneering woman journalist who paved the way for all those who came after her, as well as womankind in general," says JAWS President Tanya Gazdik. "Her spirit lives on in every single woman journalist who continues to fight the good fight."
"The most important monument to Gloria will not be a statue, an award or even a shelf of remarkable books. It will be the work we—working together—do next," writes Ms. Executive Editor Kathy Spillar.

I guess this was always going to happen. I still have no interest in watching podcasts - and I think audio does something completely different for our brains - but I guess I'm in a minority www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Tons of people are getting older by themselves or in a couple, but no kids. At some point many of us will be solo agers. My latest @npr.org story looks at how the rise of solo agers can help society adjust to them/us - not the other way round: www.npr.org/2026/07/09/n...
'Solo agers' are a growing group. Changes that would help them could help everyone
Many older adults navigate aging on their own — without children or a spouse. An expert says this is "a reality to be supported" rather than a crisis to be solved.

One of the reasons #Mecicaid can be so confusing is it’s not always called by its name - states use names like ‘Health Plus’ so people on it don’t recognise upcoming cuts will affect them #HJ26 @healthjournalism.org

Shingles is awful and a lot of us don't recognize the signs when we get it (I didn't). At 50 we can get the vaccine and new research shows it may do a lot more than prevent disease. My story for NPR www.npr.org/2026/04/06/n...

As parents age, their children face hard choices about when to take the car keys
States have many policies to stop risky older drivers from renewing their licenses. But in practice, it's often adult children who must decide when to take the car keys away from an aging parent.

Does anyone have a crazy or surprising story of having shingles they'd care to share with a journalist (me)? I had a horrible case almost the minute I turned 50 and was absolutely not expecting to get hit until much later in life.
