On todays’s Daily: Our new era of parenting, known as Intensive Parenting, is actually bad for a parent’s mental health.
So says the US government.
We explore this tricky subject — and how we got here as parents — with the great @clairecm:

By now much of the internet has already read this terrific @clairecm + @aatishb + @jshkatz piece, but do look if you haven't yet. Expertly written, and there are 100 stories in every chart

Everyone Says Social Media Is Bad for Teens: Proving It Is Another Thing.
Parents, scientists and the surgeon general are worried. But there isn’t even a shared definition of what social media is.

What It’s Like to Be a Queer Teenager in America Today: Social acceptance among young people has increased significantly in only a decade. But the #MentalHealth of #LGBTQ+ teens is suffering, by @fparises @clairecm nytimes.com/interactive/2023… via @UpshotNYT🏳️🌈
1 in 5 members of Gen Z identifies as LGBTQ. Unlike a decade ago, their peers are mostly unfazed, and high school has become a much more welcoming place. Yet they’re also in mental health crisis and facing bills restricting their lives. w @fparises nytimes.com/interactive/2023…

For One Group of Teenagers, Social Media Seems a Clear Net Benefit
Despite the surgeon general’s warning about its risks for youth in general, researchers and teenagers say it can be a “lifeline” for L.G.B.T.Q. youth.

Bless the Times & @clairecm for recognizing the importance of the net to young people ostracized where they live. The surgeon general also had to acknowledge this:

For Black moms, income doesn't matter. Neither does education. Racism persists. Black women still have worse outcomes. Their pain is ignored; their autonomy stolen. @Sarahkliff and @Clairecm report.

Far fewer women in the US are getting pregnant when they don’t want to be. More are waiting until after 35 — and saying their pregnancies were later than they wanted. nytimes.com/2023/05/03/upsho…

Today's Poetry Thread: BOOKS
I absolutely love this one by Czesław Miłosz. Feel free to add poems.
ALT And Yet the Books And yet the books will be there on the shelves, separate beings, That appeared once, still wet As shining chestnuts under a tree in autumn, And, touched, coddled, began to live In spite of fires on the horizon, castles blown up, Tribes on the march, planets in motion. “We are,” they said, even as their pages Were being torn out, or a buzzing flame Licked away their letters. So much more durable Than we are, whose frail warmth Cools down with memory, disperses, perishes. I imagine the earth when I am no more: Nothing happens, no loss, it’s still a strange pageant, Women’s dresses, dewy lilacs, a song in the valley. Yet the books will be there on the shelves, well born, Derived from people, but also from radiance, heights. —Czesław Miłosz
Virtual clinics are becoming a more entrenched part of abortion just as the courts are considering banning them. As a former tech start-up reporter, these entrepreneurs struck me as bringing a Silicon Valley approach to abortion care. w @sangerkatz nytimes.com/2023/04/18/upsho…

To give a sense of the impact of Florida's coming abortion law, take a look at how it changes how far women throughout the South will need to go to get an abortion after 6 weeks of pregnancy. nytimes.com/interactive/2022… @clairecm @qdbui
For a brief pandemic moment, we had a robust social safety net. It didn’t last. But there are signs that it may have changed the appetite for government support for its citizens for the future. w @aliciaparlap nytimes.com/interactive/2023…

The US actually built a robust safety net in the pandemic, and now we've basically dismantled it. Fantastic graphic from @clairecm and @aliciaparlap nytimes.com/interactive/2023…

The gender gap in college attendance is much, much bigger for those from middle-class and poorer families.
I think this is one reason it is harder for those in elite circles to see the problem.

The result is that the US is the only developed country where even if you strip out all Covid deaths, life expectancy still dropped by a year since 2019
