Time to let the spring air in! Safeguard children from falling out windows by opening windows from the top, moving furniture away from the windows, open windows kids can’t reach, & teach kids not to lean on windows or screens.

After Nashville Shooting, Democratic States Push for New Gun Restrictions

Lawmakers in Democratic-led states are steadily enacting new restrictions aimed at preventing further mass shootings, such as increasing the legal age to buy guns, and expanding background checks and “red flag” laws that allow courts to seize guns from people who may be a harm to themselves or others. https://bit.ly/3L5OuRn

Increased all-cause mortality among kiddos in the US c/o @jama

"Firearms play a central role in this crisis. They are the leading cause of death among youths aged 1 to 19 years and accounted for nearly half (47.8%) of the increase in all-cause mortality in 2020."

Wow. You mean guns basically contributed to increased deaths MORE than COVID (20.5%)??? 😬😳

But you know, you do you.

Indeed. I'm tripping on this recent Vox story with a pretty compelling degree of data on this subject.

I mean - I didn't need to be true convinced of this issue... but it's still scary to see the data like this.

Self-injury is the intentional act of harming oneself without the intent of committing suicide. Self-Injury Awareness Day (SIAD) aims to reduce the stigma and shame surrounding self-injury and promote honest conversations about the issue.
If you or someone you know is struggling with self-injury or self-harm, it is important to seek professional help.
