Actually it's the virus theyre still being reinfected with that causes significant neurological and cognitive impairment. Long Covid happens to kids
Not to think piece about this, but I think this says a lot on how some creatives are able to do work because their partner/family is able to support their lifestyle.
This says a lot of how little our society values some creative work, not a jab at Rama Duwaji.

This is what RFK Jr. and the anti-vaxxers have wrought.
there are a lot of problems with Roald Dahl but his short stories for adults are exactly this lol. finding the volume "kiss kiss" in high school at a secondhand store was more formative than I realized. it's essentially 50% "wives get revenge" and 50% "horrors of nature and science"

Very harmful narrative. Other patients with his condition would be deeply harmed by trying a long walk like this. Deeply unserious movie and book
In recent days, AMA communications to the New York Times have requested a correction on their part to reflect the actual language the AMA used in response to their inquiry. Additionally, a letter to the editor has been submitted requesting a public correction—this was neither a policy change nor was it an endorsement of a position taken by another medical society. In addition, during Congressional testimony in mid-March, I had the opportunity to set the record straight stating to the Subcommittee on Health of the House Energy and Commerce Committee that there has been no change in AMA policy with respect to access to and provision of gender-affirming care. This will appear in the Congressional Record.
The American Medical Association directly responds to New York Times coverage mischaracterizing their posiiton on gender affirming care for trans young people.

If you can provide $3k checks for the entire middle class of America by taxing 900 people a little more, not only should you do it, but you should take it as a signal that your monetary system is broken
Little Julia sitting atop a large pile of debris that was once the contents of their home, before it was bombed. She is two years old in this photo (now 3). She is wearing a dark pink puffy coat, denim pants, with a grey wool hat, her dark curly hair peeking out. She has olive skin, and is looking to the left.
Sama’a and Julia standing in the rubble of their home after Israel’s bombardment. Julia is in the front, holding onto a large gray fallen pole of some sort, wearing a pink puffy coat, denim pants and blue sneakers. Sama’a, her mother, is about six feet back, wearing an oversized white shirt with Mickey Mouse on the front, with a black hooded shirt underneath that is pulled over her head, a black open zip up jacket, and jeans. She is holding up her hands in a peace sign.
Sama’a and three year old Julia standing in front of their home, totally collapsed from the bombs. Julia is in the front, facing left, holding onto a large gray fallen pole of some sort, wearing a pink puffy coat, denim pants and blue sneakers. Sama’a is wearing an oversized white shirt with Mickey Mouse on the front, with a black hooded shirt underneath that is pulled over her head, a black open zip up jacket, and jeans. She is looking into the camera with a meek smile and has her right hand in a peace sign, and holding hands with Julia, who is looking down but toward her mother. She wearing a pink puffy coat, denim pants and blue sneakers
Sama’a standing in a bombed out building surrounded by rubble and dirt, holding her 5 month old daughter, Talia. She is wearing a Black hijab, a white sweatshirt with Mickey Mouse, and black pants. Baby Talia is swaddled in a white blanket, and wearing a white headband with a bow.
My children don’t understand why their home has turned into rubble, or why they sleep among broken glass and dust.
This photo isn’t just a passing moment…it is our daily reality.
We desperately need your support to secure safe shelter.
