For NYT Vows: When the Eagles won their first Super Bowl in 2018, he tweeted the famous WW2 kissing photo as a joke. She didn’t follow or know him, but suggested they should recreate it at the parade. They kissed within a minute of meeting, and got married just after Philly's second Super Bowl win
Howie Roseman says the #Eagles won't even scout players who have ever been violent with women:
“I won’t even watch them. I don't even want to talk. I can't go 'He’s really good, he did it 10 years ago and he learned from it.” It just doesn't work for us."

Communicating right now is fraught. Here is some advice on framing in turbulent times:
1. Frame messages around shared, enduring values.
2. Use clear language and consistently highlight solutions.
3. Shift from jargon to concrete explanations.
4. Don’t rebut; reframe.

#OnFrameFriday: Whether you're talking about climate change, injustice, immunization, or another tough social or political topic, make sure you meet people where they are. By using simple language and clear explanations, we make it easier for people to engage with our ideas.
Good news!
Something I would like to emphasize from this story: interviewing the city's "vector control" workers was a pleasure. These guys were professionals doing an important, discreet task and doing it well. A memory I keep in mind amidst all the public sector bashing. www.inquirer.com/business/phi...
2025 is not yet 3 months old & already there have been 378 confirmed cases, #CDC reported today. This year's total is the 4th largest of any year since measles was declared eliminated, meaning no longer endemic, in the US in 2000. 2025 will likely be #3 by next week. www.cdc.gov/measles/data...
Every defiance of that desire is a small victory.
The practices of love, joy, hope, kindness, solidarity, and all their kindred are ways we defy the fascists in our everyday lives.
Joy under fascism is not silly.
It is revolutionary.
As usual, Kate is spot on. For those interested in how to message in a flood of misinformation tearing public health apart, her resources are a great place to start.
This wasn't normal after one death, it's even less so now. Tragedy.

I hadn't seen this editorial, but man, does it feel right. Bonus points for the hot dog man reference.
Yet another call for a fact-based media to counter the professional disinformation organ.
This is amazing!
I've had that same exact article saved for, well, it looks like nearly eight years now.
No new #H5N1 #birdflu infected herds for several days now. Does that mean no new herds? Or testing has been slowed? Or results aren't being shared? I don't know.
For your reading consideration: How focusing on "informed consent" in vaccination promotion could distort the public's understanding of, and appreciation for the protective powers of vaccines. www.statnews.com/2025/02/26/r...

I think what this shows is that most people aren't actually anti-vax, they're just extremely obstinate about being asked to do anything even slightly inconvenient when they don't see an immediate benefit for themselves

On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me... 2 public restrooms!

It's one thing to say #PublicHealth is underfunded, and another to realize what that specifically means. Big city health depts alone are short 755 epidemiologists (aka disease detectives)—and that's before the pandemic relief funding dries up. 💡 Get the facts: www.bigcitieshealth.org/epidemiology...
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me... 1 Primary Care Finder app!
The Primary Care Finder helps Philadelphians find free and low-cost primary care! Learn more: phila.gov/primary-care/.
Come hear me natter about public health messaging research and strategy next week. I promise to make it worth your while.
I'm old enough to remember the hue and cry about how HPV vaccine was the start of the downfall of society. But all it did was prevent thousands of cases of cancer.
