Vaccinations work, y’all! Get your kids vaccinated.
Oral sex is helping fuel more cases of mouth and throat cancers in men. For older women, anal cancer and a rare type of rectal cancer caused by HPV may be more common than cervical cancers by 2025.
Yes, it’s important for boys as well. I get that argument for not giving it to boys all the time.

Unfortunately the vaccine has been delayed due to Covid and interrupted schooling this last year. It’s given in the first year of secondary schools to both boys and girls.
Bit of moaning from the anti Vax and hardcore fundaligionists when it was introduced, got quiet fairly quickly.

Marcus Rashford has probably done more good in this last year than Labour and the Conservatives combined. He’s only 23. (Image, because I won’t give links to the Murdoch press if I can help it)
The £20 million donated is money raised to fight against food poverty, which would not have been raised if Rashford hadn’t stood up and spoken out about it.

These are more local, but the first fireflies of the year are blinking away, the spring peepers and American toads are singing away, and we got all our seedlings in the ground today. There’s something so good and renewing about planting the garden.

Fireflies are one of the few things I miss about living east of the Rockies.

Tram fever sweeps Europe
Lastly today, Suomen Kuvalehti goes inside Europe’s northernmost tram factory, in Otanmäki, Kajaani.
As European countries look to cut their carbon emissions, trams are being seen as a climate-friendly way to keep people moving, SK writes.
“The implementation of climate targets is currently reflected directly in the development of electric public transport,” Juha Vierros, CEO of the Škoda Transtech factory told the magazine.
That trend is seen in places like Berlin, which plans to build over 70km of tram tracks in the next 15 years. The Otanmäki factory is currently producing some of the trams that could ply those routes, SK writes.
However, according to Suomen Kuvalehti, in spite of the renewed interest in trams, the factory’s workforce is undergoing co-determination negotiations due to a gap between two major projects: building vehicles for the new Tampere tram system, and building those scheduled to run on Helsinki’s planned “Raide-jokeri” light rail system.
