Convoy - Seniors in EVs Protest"The caravan members are gathering testimonials from people who share their concern for the climate in 16 cities along the way and aim to be in Ottawa on Sept. 19 to join young people at the Fridays for Future march. They have also requested a meeting with the prime minister. If they are refused, they say non-violent, civil disobedience is in the cards."

CMS is ending the Medicare Part D Premium Stabilization Demonstration on December 31. The program paid a monthly subsidy toward standalone drug plan premiums, $15 per member in 2025 and $10 in 2026, and capped how far those premiums could rise year over year. Without it, the increases land in 2027 plan pricing.
National Campaign for Justice has a letter to Congress asking them to preserve it.

@TimWardCam You know, as I get closer to "retirement age", I'm finding out how much the #CaptalistSystem really fails folks who are #Seniors and who aren't #Millionaires or #Billionaires -- forcing them to have to do a mind-boggling amount of research to figure out if a Medicaid program will cover certain costs or even if you are covered if you leave the state to visit someone. It's horrible! And imagine folks with #MemoryIssues having to sort through all this BS? It's quite cruel! One of my friends who is a veteran was asked what his retirement plan was. His reply was "Drop dead in my vending booth" (he vends to make ends meet). Yikes! That's no way to take care of people -- especially those who have served!

🧓 This type of wilful negligence occurs more often than you realize.
Imagine how it would feel if over a 5 hour period you were slowly dying in terrible pain from 2 fractured hips while in the "care" of a long term home

How pets healed us this year – The Washington Post
In Your Own WordsEach week, we highlight a comment from our readers. This week, my favorite comment was on a story I wrote about how pets healed us this year.
“ My beautiful mom and greyhound died last year 3 weeks apart in the fall, both tragically and unexpectedly. This past July, I adopted a 6 month old pup from a local shelter. She returned pure joy to my broken heart. Her shelter name was Poppy. I thought about changing it then looked it up. It means “remembrance.” She is so smart, so affectionate, so playful. I like to think that my mom and grey had a hand and paw in the two of us coming into each other’s lives. – TarheelHeart – https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2025/12/26/pets-healed-us- 2025/?commentID=69da2a76-3def-483b-94d9- 90793784b4e3&utm_campaign=comment-share&utm_medium=soc- share&utm_source=link-share Kynlee Rogers, 10, with her dog, Tennessee. Both Kynlee and Tennessee were born with a cleft lip. (Kimberly Rogers)How pets healed us this year
They give our lives deeper meaning and make us laugh. Here’s how pets helped get us through 2025.
By Sydney Page
If you have a pet, you know their healing properties. If you don’t, there’s well-documented science to back it up. Even just a few minutes with a dog or cat can make someone happier and less stressed.
So with that in mind, here are some animals that boosted our mood this year, made us laugh and feel less lonely, and even saved some lives. Basically, they helped us get through 2025.
They improved our mental health
Norm Feigenbaum, a 93-year-old Los Angeles man, described his yellow Lab, Sunny, as his best friend. When Sunny went missing for nearly two weeks, Norm felt anxious, had sleepless nights and said he felt a profound sense of emptiness. Volunteers worked tirelessly to reunite them, and when they did, Norm’s emotional state steadied.
“Without her, there’s nothing,” Norm said.

“Tennee is just like her,” said Kynlee’s mother, Kimberly Rogers, adding that they happen to share the same birthday, June 4. “It just gives her something she can relate to. She’s not alone.”
They gave us many laughs
Some pets have big personalities. Ray Ray, a mischievous house cat from Pennsylvania, turned a family road trip into an adventure when he hitched a 100-mile ride on the roof of his family’s van before anyone noticed he was there. He ended up getting a New York City vacation out of it, though his family toted him around in a cat backpack and on a leash for safety.

Lamps, reading glasses, picture frames, purses, even plates — nothing is safe. Duke parades his treasures around proudly in his mouth, before guarding the items on his bed. He keeps his owner — and thousands of followers — amused with his mischief every day.

Faygo, a friendly goldendoodle from Virginia, was diagnosed with terminal cancer earlier this year. Knowing how much Faygo loved getting attention from people, his owners asked neighbors to stop by and give Faygo a pet. Dozens of people visited to offer Faygo comfort, treats and affection in his final days. Through Faygo, a community came together for a dog they barely knew.
Neighbor Matt Busby brought Faygo a ball, and they played with it in the yard. (Michelle Martin)They saved people
Dogs have been known to alert people to perilous situations and even detect health issues or medical emergencies. Earlier this year, a shelter dog at an adoption event alerted a man that he was about to have a seizure, prompting his wife to take her husband home and give him his meds. She said the pooch’s instinct helped her husband avoid a dangerous seizure.
Another standout pooch this year is Freyja, a certified search-and-rescue dog in New Hampshire. When a 2-year-old girl went missing in the woods, Freyja and her handler spent nearly five hours navigating the dense, cold forest. Using her keen senses, Freyja tracked down the child, who was returned to her parents. Authorities noted that without Freyja’s tracking skills, the outcome could have been very different.
Jeremy Corson’s dog Freyja found a missing toddler who had been lost in the woods for hours. (Jeremy Corson)They helped us live with purpose
Beef, an English bulldog recovering from pneumonia, helped his owner’s father, Manny Miranda, stay motivated to exercise. Their slow, short daily walks became a shared fitness journey, and beloved on social media.
Beef stopped going on many walks after a bout of pneumonia. But it turned out he was willing to get moving if Manny, 78, was with him. (America Miranda)Courtney Proctor Cross transformed a struggling West Virginia animal shelter that was euthanizing most of its animals into a nationally recognized no-kill shelter.

New #blog post: Setting up #Gnome (Linux) for #seniors. I've been looking into how to best set up an extremely simplified and limited #Linux for #elderly people. There don't seem to be many pre-existing efforts for this, so I figured I'd write a short blog about it.

*Please only add me if you're over twenty-one.*
Since the Bio field has such a short character limit, consider this to be my profile/biography.
I don't write about American politics, race, anticapitalism, world affairs (wars, poverty, oppression, etc.), loneliness, bad self-esteem, or anxiety/depression, and will not add those who do so often. The same is true of those who feel it necessary to use obscenities. I am not a modern programmer or gamer, I do not use Linux, and I don't care what social network you use.Hello. For the sake of honesty, Georgiana Brummell is not my legal name, but it is what I use online. I live in New Jersey and am forty-two years old. Some of my interests include studying dandyism, nineteenth-century English grammar, Upper Received Pronunciation, the Italian language, the Regency, opera, and MS-DOS. I like coffee, tea, wine, cooking, British literature, nature and historical documentaries, gardening, cats, hot weather, and playing cards and dice. I love opera (particularly singers from the early 1900's through the 1950's), classical music (from Baroque through early Romantic), and popular music (from the 1950's through the 1970's). I prefer antique menswear and accessories. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity. I am a happily childfree atheist. I love cats. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity. I am single and prefer men over sixty, though more so over seventy.
If you're on MSN via Escargot, I am [email protected]. I am also the administrator of the OldOpera and BlindAndFine, subreddits
This is my dating post on Mastodon, which is shorter than the one on Dreamwidth. It's somewhat similar to this one, but it contains an explanation of what I am seeking in a partner. If you are or know a genuine dandy, or at least, an intelligent, single, childfree man over sixty, please read the link below and/or pass it on to him.

*Updated.*
Hello. I joined Friendica in October of 2024, after Facebook closed their Basic Mobile site (not app). I live in New Jersey and am forty-one years old. Some of my interests include studying dandyism, nineteenth-century grammar, Upper Received Pronunciation, British history, and the Regency. I like coffee, tea, wine, nasal snuff, cooking, hot baths, reading British literature, watching nature and historical documentaries, gardening, hot weather, and playing cards and dice. I also love cats. In classical music, I enjoy Baroque through a bit of early Romantic, while in popular, I usually prefer 1950's through 1970's. I love theatre (especially English and Viennese operettas, Edwardian musical comedies), and some Regency/Georgian plays. I prefer antique menswear and accessories. It's my dream to either buy a genuine Edwardian suit or have one commissioned. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity. My parents are lesbians, and I am a huge gay rights supporter, but I stop short of using singular they and promoting the idea of more than two sexes, though you can certainly lean more towards one while being the other (as I do being a masculine woman), or change from one to the other via hormones, surgery etc. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity.I am happily childfree and am not religious. I hardly ever write about politics. I tend to get along better with people older than I, but I will accept friends twenty-one and over. I have no understanding of chronic illness, anxiety, depression, loneliness, etc. I enjoy hearing about cats, cooking or gardening adventures, antiques, and interesting life stories.
This is my journal. Anyone can read or comment, whether or not he is a member.
