Public health is infrastructure. And every $1 spent on prevention saves up to $5.60 in health costs. So why does Indiana underfund it? We need budgets that reflect care, not crisis.

A great episode for Hoosiers, but also for anyone looking for some perspective on challenges of federalism/what doing public health looks like in a red state.
Also a good reminder to blue state me. I just got my vaccines w/o issue. CVS asking anyone coming for their meds if they want shots too
Abstract In an environment where LGBTQIA+ people in sports has become a politically charged topic, how can public administration support all people who want to play sports? Based on a survey of over 1,000 LGBTQIA+ individuals on the use of nonprofit services in the United States, this mixed-methods article explores the experiences of LGBTQIA+ people who play sports through a social equity lens. In our study, we find that those who identify as transgender are less likely to play in sports clubs than cisgendered individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community. In qualitative responses, themes of inclusion and respect were discussed, as well as the importance of gender-neutral language and spaces to help support all people. Through this analysis, we discuss recommendations and implications for sports clubs to create a more welcoming and equitable environment for all people. PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY Sports are a part of public administration, but rarely has the field explored LGBTQIA+ individuals within sports clubs in the United States. We explore the experiences of LGBTQIA+ individuals within sports through a social equity lens. Based on this data, we find that access and outcomes for participation in sports is perceived differently for LGBTQIA+ individuals. Transgender people are less likely to engage in sports as compared to cisgendered individuals within the LGBTQIA+ community, which may result from recent anti-trans legislative efforts. Our discussion focused on the need and implications for improvement in program management and environments that could provide a more welcoming and equitable experience for LGBTQIA+ participants.

09.07.2025 13:42 β π 22 π 32 π¬ 5 π 6Dear Fifa and MetLife- I had the opportunity to attend the Fifa Club World Club this afternoon at MetLife Stadium. I want to say the experience was fantastic- great crowd, some good soccer. However, at the 70th minute, with a heat advisory (91 degrees/feels like 96), we could not easily access water. We were willing to pay, of course, but all of the vendors we came across by our section were already closed. This policy - or practice, if not official guidance- has the potential to cause great harm. (Also, if you need the capitalist argument, it represents lost profit.) Please reconsider your policies and practices for the other semi and final (not to mention next year's World Cup. Thank you.
Had a mostly good time at the game today but Fifa and Met Life need to reevaluate their vendor policies. No water easily available (even to buy) at/after the 72nd minute was problematic (to say the least).
Positive: taking public transportation from Princeton to the stadium
