Dairy Queen of Tyler has partnered with Kelly Federal Credit Union and Children's Miracle Network Hospitals to donate funds towards CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Francis Health System child patients. Proceeds from every Blizzard sold on Mondays at the Tyler Dairy Queen during May will be used to better children's health.
One CHRISTUS patient received a diagnosis that helped her manage her condition. Nearly two years ago, Luna showed diabetes symptoms and was taken to CHRISTUS Mother Francis Hospital for treatment in the pediatric intensive care unit. She was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and diabetic ketoacidosis, which affected her blood sugar levels. Now, Luna can manage her diabetes with an insulin pump and she has access to specialized help.

TikTok blocks #SkinnyTok due to extreme weight loss, disordered eating content
TikTok says it has blocked search results for the hashtag "SkinnyTok"due to a high volume of content that was promoting disordered eating and unhealthy weight loss behaviours on the social media platform. "We regularly review our safety measures to address evolving risks and have blocked search results for #skinnytok since it has become linked to unhealthy weight loss content," said a statement from TikTok emailed to CBC News Wednesday. "We continue to restrict videos from teen accounts and provide health experts and information in TikTok Search," the statement read. The term SkinnyTok has become widely used to describe an online subculture of influencers and content creators that promote extreme thinness. Under the umbrella of #SkinnyTok, creators make videos with snappy one-liners such as, "Skinny is the outfit," encouraging viewers to achieve their goals by following extreme weight loss advice. LISTEN | How viral social media trends around body image impact young men: Now, searches for SkinnyTok will yield no results except for a message that prompts users to check out expert resources. In Canada, viewers will see contact information and links for groups such as the National Eating Disorder Information Centre and Anorexie et boulimie Québec. TikTok's decision to block SkinnyTok came after the platform noted an increase in content promoting disordered eating and unhealthy weight loss behaviours earlier this year, according to the spokesperson. In April, France's Minister of State for Digital Affairs Clara Chappaz reported the hashtag to the country's digital watchdog and the European Commission. Chappaz and French nurse Charlyne Buigues have been campaigning to have TikTok block the hashtag since April. A petition Buigues started to get the hashtag banned gained nearly 35,000 signatures. On June 1, Chappaz said in French on X: "Today, @tiktok just confirmed to me that it has finally removed this unacceptable hashtag from its platform. This is a first collective victory. I salute it."

Mom Feels Self-Conscious About Hair—Then Sees Portrait Her Daughter Drew
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. You can always count on kids to unintentionally point out your insecurities. Take Rachel, 43, for example. She was already feeling self-conscious about her thinning hair when her 7-year-old daughter Lily handed her a portrait. The drawing featured a bald-headed stick woman with squiggly lines coming from the ears—meant to represent curls. It didn't take long for the clip to go viral on TikTok, amassing 1.7 million views on Rachel's account (@nhmama781). "When I saw the drawing, I thought it was funny," Rachel, from New Hampshire, told Newsweek. "I know she didn't draw it with the intention of hurting my feelings. Kids are brutally honest, and I feel like I'm pretty self-aware, so it made me laugh." Two screenshots showing Rachel drinking through a straw and the drawing. Two screenshots showing Rachel drinking through a straw and the drawing. TikTok/@nhmama781 Rachel explained that her hair started thinning after becoming a mother. According to the American Pregnancy Association, 90 percent of your hair is actively growing at any given time, while the remaining 10 percent enters a resting phase. Pregnancy and postpartum changes can disrupt this cycle, causing noticeable hair loss. In Rachel's case, the issue was worsened by Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a condition where cysts develop on the ovaries, often leading to fertility problems. One of its symptoms is hair thinning. "I used to have thick curly hair, and it has thinned considerably over the past decade—since having kids and from PCOS," she explained. While Lily may not fully understand why her mom's hair has changed, she certainly brought some humor to the situation. TikTok Reacts: 'A VIOLATION!' As of now, the May 24 clip has racked up 193,000 likes and over 900 comments. "I laughed before you even showed it—I knew what was coming. A VIOLATION," one user wrote. Another added: "Kids are so innocently SAVAGE." Many viewers chimed in with their own experiences. One person said: "Mine love to draw me fat. All the rest of them get these stick figures on the page and I'm a whole oval with arms and legs." "They draw the most brutally honest portraits. My kid always includes the capillaries in my eyes, and any acne," shared another. What Children's Drawings Say About Their Minds According to a 2011 study analysis, children's drawings can reflect their inner world—emotions, personality, and even challenges they may be facing.

Moment Woman Panics at Red Light When She Can't Find Pup in Backseat
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Panic quickly set in for a pet parent when she turned around and couldn't find her puppy in the back seat of her car. Julianna Clark-Bell, who is known on TikTok as @iamjuliannabc, uses a seat cover in the back for her Rottweiler puppy. It spreads from window to window, creating a seat that looks like a swing. An article from PetMD emphasizes the importance of keeping dogs safe while driving, as allowing them to roam can distract the driver and inadvertently cause an accident. Sitting in the front seat can also be hazardous to the dog in the event of a car crash. Dog-friendly car seats like the one Clark-Bell used allow dogs to move freely while being contained in the backseat, while also protecting the car. Some often include hooks to connect a dog leash. Clark-Bell didn't expect any problems with the car seat, but when she turned around to check on her pup at a stoplight, she immediately panicked. The Rottweiler was not in his seat. Where on earth could he have gone? The windows were closed. She never opened the door. She realized she needed to look harder. Her May 1 TikTok video revealed her dog wasn't using the back seat as a bed. Instead, he positioned himself in the crack between the front seat and the back, with the seat cover holding him up like a hammock. Newsweek reached out to @iamjuliannabc via TikTok for comment.

"The way my stomach would've dropped?! Instant crash out," wrote one viewer. A second TikTok commenter joked: "It's giving, 'Momma, you slammed on the brakes and now I'm stuck.'" Another person commented: "Thought you hit the brakes too hard and he got stuck but he was just sleeping." The owner assured viewers that she now buckles her pup into the seat, but he still chooses the same spot, which she allows. She said she loves hammocks too.
