I used to watch soccer. I have a lot of shoes. Becoming ungovernable. Caretaker to a chocolate lab and a ‘67 Mustang. she/her

I might keep a running list of things I’m throwing away to make room in the garage. The first thing out today was a 10lb. brick of clay that dried into a doorstop about 20 years ago. Time to go.

I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

Time once again to rep my favorite place for giving: anelder.org - they supply food, firewood and supplies for traditional crafting to Navajo Elders. If you have the cash, please give these folks a hand.

Do you have a family jello salad? The Edgell family jello salad is lime jello, chopped red apple and walnut pieces. I don’t know why.

This is wonderful news, and also means it’s time for me to beat the drum I always do when HPV vaccines make the news:

They are not only for women! HPV also causes penile, anal, and head and neck cancers. The latter are particularly deadly. Please vaccinate ALL your children.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

Sometimes it seems like the world is moving too fast. So we here at OPB wanted to try something: we wanted to see what happens when we take it slow. Really slow. 🐌

do you have any idea how much you have to piss somebody off to make them change their gauge
#Finland will begin to #Russia - proof its rail network, integrate with EU train infrastructure.

The Finnish government has announced the conversion of its rail network from Russian gauge (1,524 mm) to European standard (1,435 mm).

I know this week can be really hard for queer and trans folks. So if that's you, remember that I love you and you are under no obligation to hide who you are for anyone. You're perfect. And if your family can't see that, it's their loss.

Be advised that with only three viewing experiences, we have the sum total of what the American entertainment industry has to say about Thanksgiving.

1. Planes, Trains & Automobiles in full.
2. The camp play carnage in Addams Family Values
3. The clip below.

After that, it's all just football.
47 years ago today, dozens of turkeys met their unfortunate demise in a Cincinnati parking lot.
