Dementia housing without locked wards? It's a small but growing movement Some senior living communities are caring for people with dementia alongside other residents, not segregated behind locked doors.

It's a controversial move but seeing success - senior living communities are dropping locked memory care units for those w/dementia, integrating them into the wider residential community instead. bit.ly/43B38cr My story for @npr.org

"We are making it so hard to age in this country." @asaging.bsky.social 's Leanne Clark-Shirley sums it up well. My story on how the #Medicaid cuts won't just affect those on Medicaid - far from it: bit.ly/47xz8iI for @nextavenue.bsky.social thx to @healthjournalism.org for inspiring the story

'Aging well' generates lots of headlines. I'm as aspirational as the next person. But in the US at least it can make aging seem like yet one more thing we're meant to excel at. Which sounds exhausting. My story for @aarp.org bit.ly/48XvKjs

Media Diversity Groups Urge NBC to Recommit After Layoffs Hit Identity-Focused Newsrooms — JAWS (October 23, 2025) - The board members of the Journalism & Women Symposium, Asian American Journalists Association, National Association of Black Journalists, National Association of Hispanic Jour...

The board members of #JAWS, AAJA, NABJ, NAHJ and NLGJA are deeply disappointed by the decision by NBC News to lay off staffers from their sites dedicated to marginalized communities. Read the full statement:

@planetmoney.bsky.social friendly tip from reporter covering aging: pls don’t use ‘silver tsunami’ to describe older Americans. It’s a negative term that conjures up destruction & perpetuates stereotypes - of which there are already plenty

“Empathy and being able to tell stories” are key aspects of being a journalist says #SallyBuzbee - you don’t have to be exactly like Woodward and Bernstein. @womenjournos.bsky.social

“It was a lonely job” as top editor at the Washington Post” but many people supported #SallyBuzbee before she left #womeninjouralism @womenjournos.bsky.social

“Learning to delegate is hard. You have to mindfully do it.” Sally Buzbee on managing both in US and abroad #womeninjournalism @womenjournos.bsky.social

“One of the big issues in journalism particularly for women is how to balance it with a life.” Sally Buzbee of @reuters.com @womenjournos.bsky.social

Self doubt. “You get better at it but you still have it.” #SallyBuzbee of @reuters.com ex @washingtonpost.com #womeninjournalism @womenjournos.bsky.social

Retirees are told to ‘work longer’ to make ends meet. But what if jobs disappear? Here are three ways to deal with losing expected income in retirement.

Just as relevant for #freelancers right now - what to do when your gigs disappear www.marketwatch.com/story/retire...

I like the point of 'what am I cultivating now that is not that stuff?' that you're used to identifying with. Few of us think enough about this ahead of time. Rather it hits us after we lose one of our identities, and we struggle.

even if you've been freelancing for years, it can still feel overwhelming, esp after a summer break or at new year's - it's like getting your backpack on and beginning to hike uphill.

Excellent @healthjournalism.org webinar on what's going on in DC right now and the homeless sweeps. @brianmannadk.bsky.social makes the point that Donald Trump is a masterful storyteller & his stories stick w/people, no matter their truthfulness.

A fresh phone hell in the office Younger workers who don’t say hello when they answer a call need to know it’s a problem

So sad that I site I've written a lot for - @nextavenue.bsky.social had all but one of its small staff laid off this week. Future uncertain. Budget cuts. It's nuts that as the US gets older, all these resources for people 50 & up - informational and otherwise - are being eliminated.

This #journalism fellowship deadline just got extended to July 28, it's with @geronsociety.bsky.social I did it last year and highly recommend it to anyone interested in aging (which should be all of us since we're all doing it) www.geron.org/Resources/Jo...
