I'm trying to sign up for men's #cooking #lessons here in #Japan to placate my busy #Japanese wife. While she was away, I made this cheese omelette; beginner's luck! A #community center has me on a waiting list, or I could spill for more upscale lessons. It is astonishing and unJapanese that single-person #households are approaching 40%. #Single #men of all ages have a poor #diet, which exacerbates the #lifespan gap with #women. #Loneliness is also a #health hazard. Many men are #widowed, never #married, or their #wives #divorce them, often after the children become independent and the husband is useless around the house after a busy career. Single men, or married men interested in cooking or helping their wives, possibly fearing their wives' pent-up anger, can find #companionship as well as #survival #skills in cooking lessons. Men's classes start from zero; women #cook and #socialize.

Ember? :v_agender:

Part of maintaining a #nursing liscence in canada is ensuring you're continuing and maintaining your education.

If there's anything I've learnt, the best teachers are those who have experience

So why is it so fucking hard to find a #gerontology course that mentions even consulting with seniors? Like yeah, incare about the research and yeah I care about lived work experience, but at the end of the day if your gerontology course wasn't developed in coordination with actual aging people then I really, really doubt it's going to be useful or helpful.

It was the same thing when I was in #DirectSupport. Finding courses that were taught by or built in consultation with people with disabilities was nightmare difficulty.

People like me who go into support professions already need to be very conscious that we are there to support individuals and not let our own assumptions hinder that. The education we receive should be built by the people we are here to support, not for them without their input. Any system built for someone is not going to adequately meet their needs.
