A year ago, doctors told me I had neuroendocrine cancer of the pancreas. I’d probably been living with it for a decade. I will likely never be cured. But after a year of surgeries, radiation and monthly shots with a giant needle, I’m not going anywhere anytime soon. defector.com/my-life-with...

@dhm.bsky.social my local card store replenished their supply of 1980s “tips” cards. The 1989 Packers this time. The writer was truly a craftsman. “Drugs can lead to sudden death. Establish yourself as a winner—don’t do drugs.”

Any time Eagles fans are impugned as a group, the individual casting aspersions should recognize that they are actually insulting international icon and hero, Malala Yousafzai.
In a brief post shared with her 3.7 million Instagram followers, Malala Yousafzai looked back fondly on her travels to Egypt, Greece, Tanzania, and Ireland. She also wore an Eagles T-shirt in one of her photos. Go Birds.

Also found at the Thrift Store, in the CD section, whatever this is. My curiosity was worth the $1.99 to rescue this, if even the Richie Ashburn thing *alone* proves to be on here. I will let you know.
