It’s official! My Substack newsletter about [B]old Age, from the blessings to the bullshit, is a bestseller. Not naming any names… but it’s bullshit to DENY very old age.

Who knew there were this many [B]old Women (in their 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s) on @substack wanting to share and support one another! If that’s you, join in here by leaving a comment to introduce yourself. debbieweil.substack.com

Now on Substack! @susanorlean Wordy Bird susanorlean.substack.com/?r=1go6c

Looking back to a near drowning episode one year ago, but with a new perspective. debbieweil.substack.com/p/the-view-fro…?

I’m a writer and I love to travel. So I should keep a travel journal, right? Well, it never seems to happen. Find out why (and two options of things you can do instead). Over on Substack… debbieweil.substack.com/p/how-not-to-k…

I love this guy - thank you @tom_peters!

From my [B]OLD AGE newsletter on #substack, an essay about identity at age 14 and age 71. #french #France #adolescence debbieweil.substack.com/p/behind-the-s…

Season 6 of the [B]OLD AGE podcast aka @debbiepodcast kicks off with an interview with my husband Sam aka @gapyearsam. Ageing has crept up on us in our early 70s. gapyearforgrownups.simplecast.com/episodes/debbi…?

Right now “existential crises” is neck & neck with “healthspan vs lifespan” in the poll — i.e. what my @substack subscribers want more of on the topic of getting old. What’s your pick?? debbieweil.substack.com/p/prompted-by-…

Lots to chew on as Season 5 of [B]OLDER aka @debbiepodcast wraps up. Recurring guest @gapyearsam slurps his coffee. open.substack.com/pub/debbieweil…

In which I talk to the brilliant @JonathanMerritt about everything religion. I'm a non-church person but it's okay to go to church, he tells me, even if you're not a believer, per se. That's a relief. debbieweil.substack.com/p/religion-any…

Brilliant writer @JonathanMerritt sets me straight on attending church as a non-believer (it’s okay, he says!). Thx Jonathan for a great convo. debbieweil.substack.com/p/religion-any…

Have you ever wondered about where you might live when you get truly #old? In the latest episode of [B]OLDER aka @debbiepodcast I chat with @kvox about her plans to "age in place" in her apt. in San Francisco. open.substack.com/pub/debbieweil… .

I’m loving @substack so far as a platform (leaving @Mailchimp after many years.) Join a conversation about what aging is really like. debbieweil.substack.com/p/switzerland-…

On [B]OLDER aka @debbiepodcast this week, a frank conversation with tech veteran @kvox about her decision to "age in place" in her thoughtfully-renovated apt. in San Francisco. gapyearforgrownups.simplecast.com/episodes/karen…

@BrianReich P.S. @BrianReich I’m teasing…

@BrianReich ha ha that proves it — I am a bad person. I love my husband very much but I don’t want to sit in the middle on a long flight!

If you were flying w/ a significant other and the middle seat between you is occupied by a stranger… do you agree to switch so you can be next to your person, or do you stick with the window/aisle and sit separately? (I just watched this happen. Curious what others would do)

I've been publishing a newsletter for over 20 years but moving to @substack feels like a big deal. My topic: aging in real-time with a 71-year-old: reinvention, legacy, and making the most of growing older. Take a peek! debbieweil.substack.com/p/im-moving-to… #aging #reinvention #legacy

terrific essay on #AI - tx @realdelia for heads up - and tx @dorieclark!
