Babies under six months can't be vaccinated directly against COVID. A new study found that most infants hospitalized for COVID had mothers who didn’t get the vaccine while they were pregnant.

This isn't just a story of two teens who fucked up. It's really a tale of how so many systems and safety nets are still wildly ill-equipped to think about teen drug use beyond the punitive, paternalistic traditions born during the Reagan era.
Police knew she was selling fake Percocet but did not stop her. His mother sought the right treatment for his addiction but could not find it. Two teens got caught up in a system unprepared to handle ...
...and he gave me HIS number, didn't ask for mine. And I accepted it because the whole time he behaved like a gentleman. He didn't look like a model or boy band member, wasn't super buff or tall, but he was actually POLITE. I'm sure I don't speak for everyone, but this is, mostly, ALL WOMEN WANT. /🧵
...and I didn't scream rape or freak out like some guys think feminists do. I said thank you. Then I looked him over and said (truthfully) "you're not too bad looking yourself." We got into a conversation. No, I didn't end up marrying or even dating him, but we talked for a bit walking to my car...
This has only happened to me once, but I tell this story in the hopes men will change their tactics: I was in college, waiting to cross the street, when a guy also waiting approached me and said "excuse me, miss, I mean no disrespect, but you're a very beautiful woman." I didn't pepper spray him...🧵
I went from only knowing a friend-of-a-friend in the 00s to having a few trans patients to having a few trans coworkers and many more patients. That may seem like a "social contagion" to some, but to me it's obviously more people being unafraid to look the way they want.
I had a pretty awesome last day at this gig. A tech with immunization certification came to help and did ALL the vaccines! I actually got some scripts filled! Then another one of the techs took me out to dinner! 🥰
I used to have a green garbage can with a sort of half-round lid. It looked too much like a muppet alligator to not add googly eyes and foam teeth.
I don't recall my first experience with legal cannabis, but in college I did indeed get so high I forgot how lighters worked. I also may have smoked weed sprayed with PCP. I'm basing that on how I reacted, which was very, very, different from any of my previous times smoking.
One of those things I read several years ago and wish I'd bookmarked was a study detailing the both the stages of mortality associated with Hurricane Katrina and the astonishingly long tail associated with it.
