Reintroducing myself for new followers!

I'm an educational #psychologist who is also an artist! I examine education through Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory.

I also deeply care about #politics & #history which I explore through my #webcomics, Without Moonlight & Verdant! More on the ALT!
Cover of the webcomic Without Moonlight. A curly haired, one-eyed boy with scars on his face is trying to evade searchlights. The nazi flag is flying at the Acropolis, rather than the Greek one. WM is a war drama set in WW2 Nazi-occupied Greece. Fotis and his friends struggle to survive the famine of Athens when they suddenly are thrust into protecting a microfilm that could make or break that most important stand the fledgling Greek Resistance is about to make. Cover for the webcomic Verdant. A red-haired knight is floating in the waters of a swamp forest, unconscious. Vines are creeping towards him from what looks to be a submerged witch. Verdant is a dark fantasy and political drama/adventure. Etan, a kome (knight) of the Despotate, genuinely believes that witches are the enemy, heretics that are insolent to the gods and threaten nature and the world with annihilation. When he realizes that is not the case, he suddenly has to protect himself and others from those forces that are the real threat.

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.

Yeah, one of the real flaws with Bluesky is that if you make a post whose message is basically "hey, do the losers at this place still have a stick up their ass about my machine that steals their writing?" it attracts negative responses.

It's a weird glitch, and it's certainly not *your* fault.
