Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

My daughter spent hours in a bathroom this weekend as we waiting for the lockdown to be over. A few lessons I learned along the way. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

This is Cole. He is a deaf service dog at Dr. William Mennies Elementary School. He just turned 9, and all of his students learned sign language to sing him happy birthday at a massive party. 14/10 for all (IG: colethedeafdog)

The interaction couldn’t be recorded for obvious reasons; but - I am utterly unsurprised that churches are saying no to a starving baby and the plugs are immediately saying yes. This tracks perfectly with my experience.

This is Oakley. He has an injury that requires physical therapy and at-home massages. Luckily, his cat sibling River has been training his whole life for this. 14/10 for both

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

🧪IF you draw labs on a febrile 61-90-day-old infant, use these predictive values ✨PCT ≤ 0.24 ng/mL ✨ANC ≤ 10,710/mm³
 ➡️ 100% sensitivity + 100% NPV for IBIs.
 Next step: Prospective validation before widespread use #PRIME

There is practice variability re: labs for febrile👶 61-90d #PECARN asked, who is low risk for IBI? CART analysis to ID low-risk infants: 🧪 UA negative 🌡️ Tmax ≤38.9°C ➡️ NPV ~99.5% for IBI ⚠️ But ~1% (14 infants) w/ IBI would be missed 👉 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih....#PECARN#ID #PRIME

🚨 Hot off the #PECARN press! 👶An approach to fever in the 61-90d infant Study evaluated: 🧪 ~5k infants w/ blood + urine drawn (17 EDs) ➡️ 2% invasive bacterial infection (IBI) • 1.9% bacteremia (no meningitis) • 0.1% meningitis 👉 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih....#PECARN @nkuppermann #PRIME

I wrote for @thefulcrum-us.bsky.social about the need for public health. The dismantling of public health that is unravelling in real time may feel like political theater, but the stakes are measured in lives. thefulcrum.us/governance-l...
