I hate to have to do this again, but starting another (hopefully smaller) GFM. We are trying to start new endeavors, but we need to stay housed until then. gofund.me/f1aa8129f

I called WHYY in Philadelphia. The person I spoke to agreed that it was damaging and not in line with WHYY's mission, and logged my complaint. The Philly number is 215-351-0511 if you're in the area.
Greg PakI called WNET in NY to ask them to remove this video. I told them it was damaging to kids. You can call them, too! Call 212-560-1313 and press 2 to leave a message (the phone prompt seems to indicate 1, but that message directs you to 2). ny.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/ruf...

“PASC [Long Covid] is estimated to affect up to 5.8 million children” in the US, surpassing asthma as the most common chronic condition in American children.
Postacute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 in ChildrenThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused significant medical, social, and economic impacts globally, both in the short and long term. Although most individuals recover within a few days or weeks from an acute infection, some experience longer lasting effects. Data regarding the postacute sequelae of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection (PASC) in children, or long COVID, are only just emerging in the literature. These symptoms and conditions may reflect persistent symptoms from acute infection (eg, cough, headaches, fatigue, and loss of taste and smell), new symptoms like dizziness, or exacerbation of underlying conditions. Children may develop conditions de novo, including postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, autoimmune conditions and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children. This state-of-the-art narrative review provides a summary of our current knowledge about PASC in children, including prevalence, epidemiology, risk factors, clinical characteristics, underlying mechanisms, and functional outcomes, as well as a conceptual framework for PASC based on the current National Institutes of Health definition. We highlight the pediatric components of the National Institutes of Health-funded Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery Initiative, which seeks to characterize the natural history, mechanisms, and long-term health effects of PASC in children and young adults to inform future treatment and prevention efforts. These initiatives include electronic health record cohorts, which offer rapid assessments at scale with geographical and demographic diversity, as well as longitudinal prospective observational cohorts, to estimate disease burden, illness trajectory, pathobiology, and clinical manifestations and outcomes.publications.aap.org

I hate to do this and don’t really have the energy to push it a lot, but Ash has had a slowish couple of months and we could really use some help making ends meet. Most urgent thing is getting food and litter for our clowder, but in all we could use about $300. CA and V are KellySMcGonigal 🥺

it is also sad as hell to use AI for the writing part. not because the writing part is "the fun part" ... it's the hard part, at least imo. it's also the most important part. it's the part where you have to decide what matters the most. YOU have to decide that. or else it's all meaningless.

it's actually sad as hell to use AI for research when research is the fun part. you can just email people and call them on the phone and ask them questions about the thing that they have expertise in. you can read documents & learn cool shit. ok now i'm just talking about how being a reporter is fun

It's the Extreme (Drought) Makeover we've been waiting for, with big reductions in D2 and D3 after last week's rain, especially in the central Piedmont. This map reflects long-term rainfall deficits and ongoing dryness in deeper soil moisture, groundwater, and lake levels. #ncwx
