It's not agism to point out Carville is 82 years old and the bulk of today's electorate wasn't voting when he had actual insights worth listening to

Teams hiring retired players who were born in the 1990s as coaches is agism. I'm, personally, being attacked here.

Defenders screech about agism but this very foreseeable outcome keeps happening.

this is why agism against older Dems is bullshit, Mother L3 is 82 and I want her in office forever.

Correct.
That doesn't defend your statement. You're saying that agism is shorthand for people to critize non white non male politicans. And the most famous case of this in recent history was against a white man.

Speaking of agism...
I had to take my tuxie cat to an urgent care vet tonight for an abscess in his face.
The vet was 83 and has been practicing for 57 years.
He was so good and so gentle that my cat didn't even have to be sedated to get it cleaned out.
Experience counts.

An excellent message for aging well and combatting agism.

Let this be a call to action: our elders are going to need our help.
Here's what they're facing:
- agism in the workforce
- massive public sector layoffs
- gutting of social security
- increasingly sophisticated scams (thanks AI)
- an economic crash that they might not recover from before retiring

Even in "good" economies, people 50 and over who lose their jobs rarely get work in their field again. It's going to be so much worse now.

During the (almost) year that passed since that essay, I realised what I wanted most was to detransition. I felt a lot of dysphoria about most changes I experienced on T, and I'd been rationalising it as dysmorphia caused by agism and vanity. I'm told wanting to look like a woman is not agism though

Ever since I learnt about the Cultural Revolution, I have been haunted by it, that children turned in their parents. Tech bro agism reminds me of this.

also I'm not unaware that agism comes out of people's terror of their own human frailty and that they too will age and their bodies will become less strong and able over time
and so I think there's NO way the normalization of agism doesn't also normalize ablism which comes from similar places

Okay weirdos with bad faith readings I can’t control: my mother was born in 1946 and there is no one in the history of earth I adored more. This isn’t agism, or an attack on you, this is an observation that one generation has hoarded political power in the U.S. and that is neither helpful or fair.

Finally getting to the agism they blasted Biden with
KEILAR: When I think of someone who is almost 80, I would think a little dozing off here or there to maybe be kind of normal. Is that not normal?
DR REINER: It's unusual to be surrounded by people in the Oval Office and you fall asleep

My mom started to struggle hard with this in her late forties; by 50 the agism was really obvious during interviews. Her experience has really informed my approach.
I waver between exploiting my years of experience or hiding my age. So I get it.
