Fun piece! A couple thoughts. When I was a journalist, I refused to get rando vox pops from people on the street because they would never say what they really thought. Eavesdropping, though, is VERY underrated. Also while I appreciate that becoming invisible is more a problem for women and no doubt East Asian women as they age, even white guys like me suffer from it:-) Thanks for the great blog!
Hey! Thanks for reading and for the kind words! Haha maybe I should make eavesdropping a series... But I otally hear you on the vox pop thing. I find it particularly jarring when it's so clearly a leading question.
And thank you for sharing that. Here's to us all ageing in the spotlight.

Always interesting to read your thoughts on various matters.

Same time, next year? I'm sure they'll be hanging around...
