The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵

I don't have a subscription (gift link anyone?) but I'm not sure how it could be unknown by the mothers.
Despite advances in prenatal care, stillbirths in the United States remain far more common than previously reported, with a significant number of them striking without warning and disproportionately affecting Black families and poorer communities. https://wapo.st/4hsGx7D

My husband and daughter went to bed at 9pm. My son fell asleep in front of the tv, so I sent him to bed at 11pm. I stayed up until the bitter end. WHICH ONE OF US DO YOU THINK DRAGGED OURSELVES TO WORK/SCHOOL TODAY?!?!?!

I'm also concerned that things could be removed #canmedlibs

PubMed is running on autopilot during shutdown, but key independent committee has been abolished #medlibs www.bmj.com/content/391/...
