A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
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.

Another photo taken at one of my favourite locations on the London Underground tube map.
If the sun is out, and in the correct position at Nine Elms station, it can project beautiful shadows of the London Underground roundel on to the station floor.

Some images from Pine Pitch Black, the fancy monochrome edition of Maskwitches. I really like how these came out. Totally different feel to the colour version.

Getting ready for holiday themed jokes🤣
Mrs. Claus ran into the kitchen where Santa was reading the paper and said,
"Honey, there are moose falling from the sky!"
He looks out the windows and says to her, "That's reindeer."

I mean... I kinda think it looks... not exactly "home made", but I don't think it actually looks like "a big team" made it, and I think anyone wanting to make games should think very carefully about what they can do, how they can get the tools they need, and how to learn new skills as needed.

i know it's not caturday but…
i took this with the spiratone portragon 100m f4, a bizarre and totally underrated little (as in very little) lens. it's so compact bc it's a single-element lens. basically a metal tube with 1 piece of glass at the end.

It was messing about with this one image that spawned the vintage-cinema/Brothers Quay informed, monochrome Pine Pitch Black version of Maskwitches we made. I found it to be a quite startling transformation, and the whole idea was right there.
I get easily bored, but images interest me always.

Very sad news about Drew Struzan’s passing. It might seem a silly and simple thing, but it was always massively inspiring to see his work and just know it was clever and well made? And to know a person “just” painted that.
