This is wonderful news, and also means it’s time for me to beat the drum I always do when HPV vaccines make the news:
They are not only for women! HPV also causes penile, anal, and head and neck cancers. The latter are particularly deadly. Please vaccinate ALL your children.

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!

Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

Whether we’re with chosen or forced family, we don’t have to do the fascists’ work for them by commenting on people’s bodies. Especially not their weight when many of our neighbors here and abroad are undergoing intentional starvation. You can always talk Vincent Price fun facts instead.

Our guy slipped out 11/25 and hasn’t been found. Near McCommas & Abrams. Name is Casey. Microchipped. One naked ear from recent boo-boo. If you see him, please respond to this comment with location. We miss him terribly. Thank you and happy holiday.

Democrats & friends CAN win a supermajority in both houses of Congress.
Trump & his policies are hated enough to do so.
It means a hard, full court press by everyone - laser focused on republican controlled offices. No distracting internal fighting.
If succeed Trump can be impeached & removed.

Don't let the Starbucks ads during the Thanksgiving parade distract from the fact that workers are on strike right now.
Solidarity to our striking baristas in Atlanta, GA! We're 15 days into our national ULP strike 💪
Baristas are on strike in over 65 cities, demanding: higher pay, better hours, & an end to union busting. Until Starbucks brings us NEW proposals, you’ll see us on the picket line. #NoContractNoCoffee

When I heard about the Hong Kong fire, Grenfell was the first thing I thought of.
Hong Kong fire and Grenfell are just alike. Fire spreading through unsafe building materials installed due to penny-pinching, killing dozens. One difference: before the HK fire is even out three executives at contractors have been arrested, eight years after Grenfell no-one has been arrested.

Just thought of a quote I heard of some years ago.
The legendary folk singer and writer Pete Seeger: Arlo, I only wanna tell you one thing. Folk songs are serious.

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh
