Wildfires tore through much of the southeast over the past week, destroying an ancient temple and priceless national treasures, threatening UNESCO-listed villages and burning numerous small villages to the ground. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/30/asia-pacific/society/south-korea-wildfires-aging/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #society #southkorea #wildfires #aging #elderly
If you're interested in reading an excellent article by one of my neighbors about the ongoing travesty that we're experiencing:
"... With proper oversight, the heartbreak these and so many other seniors are experiencing might be avoided. Too often, because they do not know where to turn, and because they typically lack power, they suffer in silence indignities and threats to their well-being and safety. This needs to change. All seniors deserve to have an advocate—a caring and neutral ombudsman or counsel who understands their needs and vulnerability.
They need someone with a fucking heart."

Just built a simple day/date display appliance out of a Raspberry Pi for my 87 yo Mother-In-Law who sometimes needs help with that. I used a spare Raspberry Pi, DakBoard, plus this 7" DSI display which comes with nice mounting screws and a stand. Set Chrome to autostart in kiosk mode upon boot.

This wasn’t how they expected to spend their golden years.
It's more common than you would realize.
“I think this situation can happen to anyone,” said [Melea] Blanchard, [manager of Catholic Charities’ Homeless Elders Program], whose case workers help with everything from Social Security paperwork to emergency health care. “We have all kinds of people from all walks of life come through our doors. There’s no one reason … and it’s not through any fault of their own. It’s more common than you would realize.”

An internal #SocialSecurity Administration (SSA) memo, sent on March 13 and obtained by Popular Information, details proposed changes to the claims process that would debilitate the agency, cause significant processing delays, and prevent many Americans from applying for or receiving benefits. The memo, authored by Acting Deputy SSA Commissioner Doris Diaz, purports to be motivated by a desire to mitigate "fraud risks." https://popular.info/p/exclusive-memo-details-trump-plan #Doge #maga #trump #pensions #economy #elderly

It may seem counterintuitive, but hospital emergency rooms can be hazardous to the health of elderly patients. The chaotic environment can cause delirium and deconditioning to set in fast, and some patients never leave the hospital again. An innovative team at St. Mary's...
