@jwilcox79 I'm so sorry for your loss.

When you close schools, children don't disappear or get locked away. They just mix with their friends in other settings.

SCHOOLS & MASKS: Re-analysis of Boston mask study in schools: school districts that dropped mask mandates first experienced largest decreases in cases; as expected prior immunity explained cases rates. COVID-19 suffered from "infodemic" so less rigorous

@ebennett74 @smarterparrot They also keep a lookout for sharks there and if one is hanging around in the deeper water and not swimming on, they will clear everyone out of even the shallow water. I've read shark attacks increase as you go north up the shore, so I justify that I'll always stay south!

@jelistrop Also a risky act: not leaving your house. The article seems pretty informative given many ppl having read local articles about others dying in flash floods or from heat recently. But the headline, and a lot of reporting over the past years, ignores competing risks.

IMMUNOCOMPROMISED: Important point media didn't cover for past 2.5 years (vax out Jan '21) but known to MDs who treat those with immunocompromise is how well vax works in population. Likely because mRNA raise high amounts of protein & strong immune response - see @Medscape summary here:

@goldnecklace2 @JamesSurowiecki So scary. And young kids don’t always respond the way (untrained/non-parent) ppl expect them to. They can yell things like “you’re not my mom” or refuse to answer a stranger’s questions and appear forlorn. My 6 yo refused to give her name to TSA (clearly screening us for that) 🤯

Remember when we kept schools remote to ensure equity?

@Theophilus_TP @MSmelkinsonPhD 😱😱 this and “out of an abundance of caution” makes my skin crawl

[FedUpPhillyParent @PhillyParent]

@helaineolen How is this be different than exposing letters written or a recording of an abusive phone call? Not sure why she shouldn’t be able to share her story. Lots of women share stories like this one. Unless it’s a bias against the medium it occurred on or was exposed on?

@goldnecklace2 @ambernoelle I’m bad at handling it as a mom. My “make things nice/keep everyone happy” conditioning kicks in and I often don’t recognize what has happened until after. Then I’m frustrated for both me and my daughter. It’s scary how easily this stuff gets reinforced and passed down.

Yes, this is what Sweden got right. Tegnell stuck to flattening the curve, Swedish hospitals were rarely overwhelmed, and the country — though also benefiting from good population health and social policies — ended the pandemic with some of the lowest excess mortality in the EU.

@goldnecklace2 @ambernoelle 2/Bcs they're kids, they are trying it out as a way to control. (Eg: using the "everyone's feelings should be heard" as a way to always stop a game of tag when it's not going their way.) They're too young to be at fault. But I see parents reinforcing this new approach to mysogyny

[FedUpPhillyParent @PhillyParent]

@goldnecklace2 @ambernoelle I've actually seen this dynamic in young kids. Boys using "she's not listening to me" or "I didn't like how she said that, it was mean" as a way to control their peers. It's often girls who have to acquiesce bcs moms respond to the "people pleasing" impulse of this therapy speak

@ptb2003 @clhubes There are more than 2 tweets. That's what is being most highly circulated but she posted more examples than just those 2 tweets. And they show he wasn't walking away/breaking up. He was telling her what she needed to do for him. But for some, no amount of evidence will be enough.

[FedUpPhillyParent @PhillyParent]

@benryanwriter @helaineolen Even the lead photo is a great example. I'd be so hungry after eating that small plate of snacks! These accounts often also post content about how to exercise (note the "hot girl walk"). So women should workout more and eat snacks for meals. I'll take the boy dinner frozen pizza!

[FedUpPhillyParent @PhillyParent]

@benryanwriter @helaineolen Yes, this seems like an overly glowing take on a trend that has been around for quite awhile on blogs then Insta if not TikTok. It's often close ups of snack plates (to make them look larger) holding beautiful but very small quantities of food. It's just aesthetic restriction.

@daniela127 @thsuburbanmommy There are lots of other decodable series. We liked Starfall. But we also made the most progress w Explode the Code workbooks (writing to reinforce phonetics helped solidify). It’s normal for kids to read btwn4-7. Earlier /=better but might need more explicit practice. Good luck!
