It is #keironohi - Respect for the Aged Day in Japan, where 29.4% are over 65, including 100k centenarians. But what does 'respect' mean when Japan also arrests and imprisons more older people (proportionately) than anywhere else?

I've been living in England for almost 11 years now and still picking up the lingo.
Today's mystery: what do they call a '#potluck'?
I found 'bring-and-share', 'Jacob's join', 'picky-bits' and 'fuddle'.
Any other possible contenders for a meal where everyone brings a homemade dish?

I've been thinking about fragility, frailty,& vulnerability as a ground for cultivating aesthetic and ethical sensibilities for a while, but Nishikawa Iku's work takes this to another level.

Prison populations are ageing. Incarcerated people 50+:
🇺🇸 🇬🇧 17%
🇯🇵 44%
This book is about the lives and stories beyond the numbers. It tells a new and urgent story of the social consequences of ageism and the need to imagine abolition as a multi generational, lifelong movement.
