Hi friends. I’m taking some time off for chemo. Not the way I wanted to start 2026, but it’s a necessary step. I’ll be trying to stay disconnected. I hope you can keep me in your prayers as I continue treatment.
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...

Hello Sports Fans. At the special request of @dhm.bsky.social, I have ripped a very special tape. Here's an FM RF VHS rip of Best Of SportsCenter With Chris Berman, a compilation of the best moments in 1991 on ESPN, extracted via a Domesday Duplicator. Enjoy. archive.org/details/best...

@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.
