“I just say what I want most of the time. I think I’m still restricted by my history of being an Asian model minority + a woman to boot. But I try to assert my voice now. I refuse to stay silent and obedient.” -Helena Rho takes The Oldster Magazine Questionnaire. oldster.substack.com/p/this-is-59...

Incidentally, the person who recommended "From Strength to Strength" to me said it was by "that old guy who writes for The Atlantic." TIL Arthur C. Brooks is 61, just a little more than a year older than me. 👵👴 oldster.substack.com/p/resisting-...

At @oldstermag.bsky.social I had a great conversation with my 82-year-old uncle about his reluctance to fully retire from ophthalmic surgery. (He also reveals he hates "Doctor My Eyes," which Jackson Browne performed at his foundation's gala last year. 😂) oldster.substack.com/p/resisting-...
