Excited to see North Dakota lawmakers prioritizing underserved rural communities! This proposal could bring much needed improvements in healthcare, education, and infrastructure to our aging, small communities.

Four Areas Where Older Adults Need our Advocacy in 2025 - Justice in Aging Looking ahead to the next Administration and Congress, the programs older adults rely on will be at the crux of policy debates and discussions. Older adults

Regardless of our zip code or how much money we have in the bank, we should all be able to live and age in accessible, affordable housing in our communities.

Yet, older adults are the fastest-growing age group experiencing homelessness.

North Dakota mornings don’t hold back. It was -14°, but this view almost makes you forget the cold… almost.

Quiet, cold, and exactly what North Dakota feels like in January.

I get how this happens. With platforms like Quizlet, YouTube, students can find quick answers without touching the actual course materials. But in the process, they’re losing out on the real, deeper knowledge that’s crucial for truly understanding the subject. It’s a shortcut, but at what cost?

Four Areas Where Older Adults Need our Advocacy in 2025 - Justice in Aging Looking ahead to the next Administration and Congress, the programs older adults rely on will be at the crux of policy debates and discussions. Older adults

As we enter 2025, four critical issues demand our attention:

🏥 Safeguarding access to health and long-term care

🔐 Protecting Social Security and SSI

🏠 Ending older adult homelessness

⚖️ Defending legal protections for older adults, including older immigrants and LGBTQ+ older adults

Is volunteering a genuine, freely chosen act? Or is it another name for unwaged work?

Emma Dowling (University of Vienna) speaks to care volunteers in Germany on why they give up their time and how they defend their autonomy in times of crisis.

Day 4:
One thing I love about North Dakota is how dark the night skies are. We're lucky to be in an area with low light pollution, making it perfect for stargazing. On the Bortle Scale, most of the state is a Class 1-3, meaning you can see the stars in stunning detail. ✨ #photography #northdakota

Day 3 of our series:
The East Norway Lutheran Church, near Aneta, ND, holds a special place in history. The congregation, organized in 1891, was led by Rev. L. L. Langehaug from 1905 until 1939, when he tragically suffered a stroke during a sermon.

Plot of differential inflation from the Eastern Caldera BPR (MJ03E) minus the Central Caldera BPR (MJ03F).  If the rate is positive, a blue dashed line extrapolates into the future using the average rate of differential inflation from the last 6 months; middle blue dot is date when 2015 inflation threshold is reached, right purple dot is when a threshold 20 cm higher will be reached. Specifics are included in the legend on the plot. https://axial.ceoas.oregonstate.edu/Forecasts4.html

Axial seamount, off the Oregon coast, is getting ready to erupt (again) in 2025. The most well instrumented under sea volcano has reached similar inflation as when it erupted (as predicted at that time) in 2015. Real time data is online for anyone to see! ⚒️🧪🌋
