Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

Excellent news, which I suspect will barely get a mention, given this government's lack of a comms strategy to counter hostile print and broadcast media. Thank goodness for 'the socials'.
Huge news from the UK today: after UN climate talks in which there was a massive fight over language on fossil fuels, the UK government today announced that it will in fact be keeping many millions of barrels of oil & gas in the ground. Deeds rather than just words for a change! 🧵

I really believe the tech bros build Ai systems to give confident, if often wrong, answers because that works for them. That’s what they do every day. They don’t understand that most people *need* to be correct, that they don’t have thirteen safety nets to catch them if they make a mistake.

I like not love Space 1999 but I saw an Eagle model for sale in a TV/movie collectible shop and had to fight the urge to purchase.

PayPal has rolled out a new "feature" that prompts you to leave feedback about an artist that you've commissioned via invoice.
Whatever you do, DO NOT fill this out! To quote Admiral Ackbar, "IT'S A TRAP!!!" It is meant to misguide you.

The further I get from my first reading of Fonda Lee's Green Bone saga, the more sure I am that it's one of my favourite series.
Anything she publishes is now an insta-purchase for me, and this sounds amazing!

The EHRC admits there's no way to enforce anti-trans exclusion using paperwork.
Therefore it's only possible using gender stereotypes.
Therefore they defend excluding basically anyone who might be suspected of being trans.
A recipe for utter chaos.

One of my new favourites, get it while you can. I hope this excellent book and its sequel finds a new home soon
In the meantime, if you'd like to read a fantasy murder mystery where world-weary woman fights crime & dragons you've got a month left before it goes off sale:

Finding parenting 14yo with PDA really challenging at the moment.

Using Golden Ticket to describe people who have fled war and destitution to legally seek asylum. An internationally recognized legal right that the UK is treaty bound to recognize is pure cruelty and evil. It is the language of Nazis, of deportations, of camps and life unworthy of life. Evil.
