I really miss old Twitter - didn’t have to encounter the racist feeds, as I seem to now on X. Can’t do the ‘for you’ feed for that reason. Feeling the strong urge to move on. But where to? Which sites are others choosing? How to hold on to what was (for me) a great SM community?

It's International Day of Older Persons The world is living longer, but not necessarily healthier. Across all regions, millions of older people are still experiencing unmet care needs. To make the most of our longer lives, transform the way we care: https://t.co/l2dEiHgL48

Courageous people trying to do good by speaking truth to power in dysfunctional organisations & systems are often vilified, marginalised, pushed out. They are usually advocates for the citizen. Imagine if they were set loose on system reform & leaders saying “we have your back”
