"A historic new study out of Scotland shows the real-world impact of vaccines against the human papillomavirus: The country has detected no cases of cervical cancer in women born between 1988-1996 who were fully vaccinated against HPV between the ages of 12 and 13."

thoughts on antisemitism and the importance of education of it
i think i may be painfully optimistic in life but in my own experience theres a pretty significant portion of people who perpetuate antisemitism unknowingly that really dont seem to have a genuine hatred of jews
some of it is really just ignorance. jews are an extremely tiny minority, and unfortunately the people who genuinely want us all wiped out influence the conversation especially in the places we are the rarest
live in WA? like wildlife? dislike wildlife becoming roadkill? please consider going to this page https://app.leg.wa.gov/csi/Testifier/Add?chamber=House&mId=31829&aId=157982&caId=23735&tId=3 and registering yourself as "PRO"! the bill is about making safe passages for wildlife across roads and highways, and for some reason it's getting a lot of "CON"s. it's being considered in the legislature today (1/29, at 4 pm), so if you have a few seconds, please put yourself down as a PRO! you won't be contacted, no followup is needed, it takes just a few seconds. 💚

Got some kobolds making their way onto our store this Monday!
I never had an Amiga, but I recently discovered the "Topaz" monospaced font used in the original Amiga 500 is actually pretty great - it's got that lo-fi pixelly crunch, but it's also high-contrast, consistent, and visually clear. The only problems keeping it from being a good terminal font in 2024 are:
* It doesn't include box-drawing characters, block graphics, or any other fancy Unicode glyphs people expect these days
* It's a bitmap font, and modern operating systems tend to only support scalable vector fonts
So, I fixed those things.
It took a bit over two years, but I have finished finished this little video project!
The title screen for Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 has an incredible music track to it, but all the screen shows is the static title and a blinking "Press Any Button."
So, I decided to make my own opening cinematic using sprites from the game!
Please watch and tell me what you like about it!
And share with your friends!
