I've just retired from 40 years in Japanese higher education. I'm happy, however, because I'm completely healthy. I just had a catheter operation that fixed the irregular heartbeat that was concerning for several months.

I still belong to the EU-Asia digital partnerships grant project, and a long presentation on Japan to students from California is scheduled for May.

I'm already back to outdoor activities, as you can see with these photos of sakura cherry blossoms in the castle ruins park near our house.

@grammargirl Yeah Mignon, I know that drill. Plus I have at least 20+ years on ya, so "keeping it together" takes on a completely new meaning.

These days, I have so many "to do" lists in my head, I need to make a To Do list to keep them straight. Thankfully, it is all small personal stuff. But when I ran my ad agency, I kept a 3-ring notebook glued to my hand so I wrote down everything when I was managing several clients at once.

Now I just have to remember to feed the cat.

All 28 videos for my Patreon course on the #Younger #Futhark, Powering Up the #Viking #Runes, are now up on YouTube.
It's a video diary (edited for conciseness of course!) of a #magical #retirement I undertook in 2020, one day for each rune, resulting in my writing a #rune-poem. Lots of reflections on the Younger row and on the processes of magical knowledge.
It's free to my Patrons, Patreon link below. At the moment, that's the only way I'm releasing it.

My Patreon is at: patreon.com/c/Chaotopia

Forced to put the cost of extractions and dentures on a loan, 74-year-old Gale Uhlmann writes about being unable to retire, the cost of living in her small Ontario community, and why she wants seniors dental care to be on voters minds at the ballot box.

Poilievre says he'll keep retirement age at 65 in play for boomers
nationalpost.com/news/politics

This is one of those policies on which I disagree with #PierrePoilievre : I support "gradually increas[ing] the age of eligibility for OAS and GIS payments to 67 from 65." As Canadians live longer and work for most is less physically wearying than it was fifty years ago, we should expect retirement to start later.

Social Security, Buffeted by Turmoil, Awaits a New Leader

The billionaire Elon Musk has become fixated on finding #fraud inside the agency, which provides #retirement, survivor and #disability payments to 73 million Americans each month.

"Musk has claimed that vast numbers of #Americans are fraudulently drawing benefits from the agency, an assertion experts say is demonstrably false."

I just published a blog essay, Games Billionaires Play, responding to Howard Lutnick's recent callous mulling about stopping Social Security payments to see who makes noise.

I make some counter-proposals about other games we could play.

How many of you retirees out there found themselves bored or restless after retiring from full-time work?

This week I got together with some old friends with whom I used to teach. One of them said that a combination of sick leave and spring break had given her two weeks off from work and she was already losing her mind.

I hear this too often from people. “I’ll never retire because I wouldn’t know what to do with myself.”

Damn. Not me. Give me the opportunity to be bored. My list of post-work/pre-senility endeavors is long.

“And now, private equity’s sights are turning to the #SocialSecurity Administration. Privatization of the #retirement market has been a long-standing goal of capital. If the #SSA really were dismantled, a vast retirement market — over a trillion dollars — would open up, into which could be shoved all sorts of new corporate profit models and plans. Yet the social results, at least for those who aren’t wealthy investors, are easy to imagine if you’ve had the essential #US experience of grappling with #health #insurance. There would be the familiar labyrinths of complexity, deception and usurious charges — but the harms inflicted could easily multiply, as the market for retirement programs is, of course, retirees: older people, disabled people and those in deepest need. #Privatization for profit would target the savings and last hopes of all these communities.”

Jessica Roy: Here’s what financial experts are doing with their money amid market turbulence

"What should I do with my investments and #retirement accounts right now?
The consensus of every person I interviewed for this story was: Do nothing. Do not panic and sell off your #stocks. Your portfolio’s value might be down, but it’s likely to recover."

U.S. Postmaster General Louis #DeJoy’s Thursday announcement that the independent United States #Postal #Service is partnering with the Department of Government Efficiency on a cost-cutting crusade that includes a
🔥planned reduction of 10,000 workers stoked fears that one of America’s most trusted and relied-upon federal agencies is on a path toward #privatization.
In a letter to congressional leaders, DeJoy said #DOGE will help the USPS “in identifying and achieving further efficiencies.”
The postal chief listed “mismanagement” of the agency’s #retirement #assets and workers’ compensation program,
“unfunded mandates imposed on us by legislation,” and “burdensome regulatory requirements restricting 'normal' business practice” as issues to be addressed.
