This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

I'm also tired of people using needle shots on stories like this.

You don’t
have to
be suave,
because I fall
for sincerity
long before
polish.
I look for
the way your
voice softens
when you care,
the steadiness
in your hands
when truth is
all you offer.
Style fades
in the dark, but
honesty is the
only garment
you need to
earn my love.
