Day 4056: Ageism

When I was in Social Work graduate school in the 1990s, I noticed fellow students, who loudly condemned isms like racism and sexism, exhibiting ageism in their casual comments and jokes about getting older. Perhaps I was more aware of that ageism because I was decades older than most of them.

Because of the news yesterday, ageism is on my aging mind again.

Do you see ageism in today’s images?

On National Stop Bullying Day, let’s stop bullying individuals and groups on the basis of their age — okay, news media and late night hosts?

Here’s what I find when I search for “ageism” on YouTube.

.

Thanks to Ashton Applewhite, my Twitter friends, and all who are here for this ageism post, including YOU!

Do you see needs in my other images for today?

Day 3560: Expectations

I don’t know what people’s expectations are about my blog, but you can usually expect to see the Daily Bitch calendar.

.

It’s not unrealistic to expect that there are many quotes out there about expectations.

.

I wonder if my other images for today will meet your expectations.

In a therapy group last night, several people expressed relief that the month of September is coming to a close, so my expectation is that some of my readers may feel the same way.

Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “expectations.”

I have no expectations about what comments people might make about this “expectations” post, but I’m still looking forward to them.

Any expectations about how I’m going to end this post?

Day 2298: How many brains do you have?

According to this book I’m reading …

Humans have four brains! What are we doing with them, these days?

Here are four human quotes about brains from Brainy Quotes:

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy.  Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness. — Dalai Lama

The human brain works as a binary computer and can only analyze the exact information-based zeros and ones (or black and white).  Our heart is more like a chemical computer that uses fuzzy logic to analyze information that can’t be easily defined in zeros and ones. — Naveen Jain

I like nonsense; it wakes up the brain cells.  — Dr. Suess

The point is that when I see a sunset or a waterfall or something, for a split second it’s so great, because for a little bit I’m out of my brain, and it’s got nothing to do with me. I’m not trying to figure it out, you know what I mean? And I wonder if I can somehow find a way to maintain that mind stillness.  — Chris Evans

All of my brains noticed these images yesterday:

I hope some of your brains know that you can click on any of those images to enlarge them, if your heart wants to.

Here’s something that came up on YouTube when I searched for “Humans have four brains.”

All my brains loved hearing this tune yesterday:

I wonder if any of your brains want to leave a comment.

My brains always want to express gratitude at the end of every post, to all the brains who helped me create it and all the brains that are reading it, here and now.
