Last thing I will post tonight about the HPV vaccine is this: It not only prevents cervical cancer, but also penile cancer and anal cancer. So boys should get it, too. (Also, statistical modelling clearly shows that is boys are vaccinated, cervical cancer is eliminated faster)

It feels like we’re fighting for the soul of our nation.

disagreement and criticism of ideas are great! I argue for a living! But if the first thing you have to say to me on here includes an unprovoked insult there won't be a second thing, and I don't especially care what point you were making along the way. I think this is pretty good online etiquette

The #Kenya Human Rights Commission (a nonprofit, not the national commission) was holding a press conference in anticipation of national protests expected tomorrow. Unidentified gangs disrupted the press conference and stole a journalists phone. A Ugandan legal advisor to the org was also deported.

My now *former* student @stephaniewanga.bsky.social (stephaniewanga.com) successfully defended her thesis yesterday! She's off to take up a postdoc in Wellesley next! We worked together on political philosophy with an especial look at anarchic theories and their application in post-colonial Africa.

Now (and maybe only just this one time 😁) i will admit that working with @lastpositivist.bsky.social was one of the absolute best parts of the last 4-5 years. An excellent philosopher and an excellent human.
