"Today, TGB is a complex mix of reporting on every aspect of aging: health and medical issues, ageism and age discrimination, media, technology, politics and public policy, culture, marketing to elders, the importance of language, love and sex, friendship, post-career careers, retirement, family, the prospect of death and, certainly, humor.

A large community of elderbloggers has developed over these five years, old people writing on their blogs about their past and present lives, interests and passions, and I’m most grateful for the growing number of TGB readers whose comments, conversation and argument here are creating a remarkable record of what it’s really like to get old."   - Ronni Bennett

"Justice For All (JFA) exists to defend and advance disability rights and is central to AAPD's mission of economic self-sufficiency and political empowerment of all adults and children with disabilities in the United States. In pursuit of these aims, JFA both shares information and issues high priority calls to action to individual advocates as well as organization run by and for people with disabilities. JFA also supports the principle that people with disabilities and disability issues should be fully-integrated into all national political and policy discussions and decision-making. To this end, JFA also disseminates information about broader domestic policy and political debates that can and often do shape disability-specific priorities."

"PatriciaEBauer.com is a collection of news and commentary about disability issues drawn from news organizations around the United States and elsewhere.

As a journalist and the mother of a young adult with disabilities, I have often wondered why I was not able to find an online source for media coverage of issues relating to disability. Ultimately, I concluded that I needed to create such a resource myself.

I’ve attempted to create a crisply written website, updated regularly, that draws on a wide range of newspapers, magazines and other media resources to bring readers current reports on issues of interest to the disability community."
