Today is National Poetry Day so I'm going to again share my favourite contemporary poem, which is I'm Going Back to Minnesota Where Sadness Makes Sense by Danez Smith...

I’M GOING BACK TO MINNESOTA WHERE SADNESS MAKES SENSE

By Danez Smith

O California, don’t you know the sun is only a god
if you learn to starve for him? I’m bored with the ocean
I stood at the lip of it, dressed in down, praying for snow
I know, I’m strange, too much light makes me nervous
at least in this land where the trees always bear green.
I know something that doesn’t die can’t be beautiful.
Have you ever stood on a frozen lake, California?
The sun above you, the snow & stalled sea—a field of mirror
all demanding to be the sun too, everything around you
is light & it’s gorgeous & if you stay too long it will kill you
& it’s so sad, you know? You’re the only warm thing for miles
& the only thing that can’t shine.

Of course, Steppenwolf was an assumed name. He was born Toby Wild.

"[Scotland] 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." That's honestly so amazing.

HPV vaccine study finds zero cases of cervical cancer among women vaccinated before age 14

In a large Scottish study, no cases of cervical cancer were found among women who received HPV vaccines before they turned 14.

Forty one years ago today, Stanislav Petrov saved the world. I mean that quite genuinely. So I wrote a show about it! And mental health! And all sorts of things! There's one joke! It's five prime ministers out of date by now!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=kU9_...
