This! Mammograms, despite being awful, save lives.
It’s that time of year again, where I remember how a mammogram saved my life five years go, and I proceed to hold my breath while I await my scan results. Don’t put off your mammograms, people with breasts: five minutes can make all the difference…

If Reform really cared about UK culture they'd be wanting those Glasgow kids to be speaking Gaelic.
2 in 3 of Nigel Farage’s current and former partners do not speak English as their first language.

The thing about both the WI and the Guides is that transphobia is best countered by like, meeting trans people and talking to them. It is far easier to stoke hatred when you have shut down avenues for normal daily interactions.

4. You see, the problem is this: History Reclaimed don’t know much about British colonialism. They’re not actually interested in it. They are a private company funded to prevent any truthful examination of the past that might challenge a right wing, white-centred version of the national story.

Anti-Whamageddon is much more fun. How many times can you hear Last Christmas before the 25th?
Listening to Last Christmas because it is an all-time banger and George didn't die on Christmas Day for you to disrespect his memory by participating in Whamageddon

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

Didn't Paul McGann sing with Darts at one time?
Doctor Who missed a trick not having a Capaldi episode where he went back to the 70s and saved the world by joining Darts. #totp
