I acknowledge& give thanks for health workers that mask in health care settings & patients that mask because they care for others. It's a sort of communal love to mask isn't it. @drstip.bsky.social Agape is an ancient word for love of humanity, so thanks again to those that care and mask!

Vincent van Gogh@vangogh.bsky.social

In 1880, destitute in the Borinage, Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo that hard frost always ends. He was describing his own mind, not the weather. Years later he turned to yellow to temper longing with courage, and hardship with hope.

And at the age of 84 in the rural Western Australia town of Albany, and both of us with a cockney cackle noted that the local geriatrician has a 18 months waiting list and she'll likely kark it before then.

Cognitive decline doesn't mean less life. #JGSSAdvAccess research shows that as memory and executive function declined, positive events increased & stressors fell. Cognition & daily engagement follow separate aging paths. buff.ly/bAAB03N @geronsociety.bsky.social @academic.oup.com #MIDUS

Dementia diagnosis in Sub-Saharan Africa requires cultural respect. #JGSSAdvAccess POV shows how Western screening tools clash with spiritual explanations. Real change means working with community healers & local values, not against them. buff.ly/dGc8lOe @geronsociety.bsky.social @academic.oup.com
