Elders, Seniors, "old People"... They Are Going Through:
Elders, seniors, "old people"... they are going through:
Witnessing their classmates, best friends, significant others, loved ones die at an unsettling pace.
Being isolated.
Experiencing frightening and invasive health issues.
Being reminded repeatedly in their daily lives that they are closer to dying than most people.
Wondering if they'll be abused in nursing homes.
Wondering if some day they'll get cancer or Alzheimers.
Their children and the younger generation treating them with impatience and as if they are stupid despite them living through generations of history.
Being completely disregarded and devalued by broader society.
Psychologically trying to work towards acceptance of age and deteriorating health.
Wondering if they'll end up in a nursing home with no visits from loved ones.
Ending up in a nursing home, often uprooted from where they've lived for years.
Being unable to live independently.
Becoming severely disabled
Being abused in private.
Being completely ignored by those they depend on for care.
Having to navigate wills for the first time and choosing what to give to whom, minding family member needs and dynamics in addition to legalese.
Being taken advantage of and scammed through technology and processes that confuse them.
Experiencing memory lapses and confusion, often alone.
Struggling to communicate.
Being treated and percieved as "outdated".
Having to quit jobs they've loved.
Sometimes coming to the realization that they're not able to take care of their pet.
Experiencing losing their bladders and the embarrassment and shame that comes with it.
Having no mentors anymore.
The least we can do is listen, be patient, and not cast them aside. They have less time than most of us on this earth and they are choosing to spend some of it with us.

if youre the kind of person who talks about how liberation movements dont need to be progressive about lgbt issues or women's rights bc all that can be worked out after the ppl they are fighting to liberate get their basic human rights yet whines and cries about south korean feminists being 'transphobic' then honestly i think you should die
im not denying that transgender ppl face extreme hardship in south korea. that absolutely is smth thats occurring and it must be addressed. but if youre criticizing the south korean feminist movement, which is a crucial liberation movement that is fighting to end the epidemic of extreme violent oppression of women within the nation, for transphobia and not the korean men who are the ones doing basically all of the violent transphobia against trans women over there then idk what to tell you besides that youre a misogynist
the situation in south korea for cis women is so dire. its beyond dire. its liberation or death/rape/torture for them right now. they can work out any transphobia they may or may not have within their feminist movement after they win back cis women's rights not to be raped by their brothers and fathers and neighbors bc at the moment thats pretty much the only thing on their minds considering how widespread its become
shes so pretty.
Would give anything to be one of the women who stole Andy warhols wig or shot him or bullied him in some way. I know what I'd do to Andy Warhol. I'd do like Looney tunes stuff with him chasing him around hitting him with hammers
