I’ve always wanted to write a song called “I’m an Asshole from Athol”. I picture it being a Celtic punk tune, Dropkick Murphy’s style, but it’s never quite come together.

It's from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Beverly was a character on that show who had a complicated but tender relationship with the person pictured.

We should have an automatic opt-in when you turn 18. Bone marrow donations save lives. I’d be dead if it wasn’t for the 10/10 match that was found for me—-in Germany!

Donating bone marrow is similar to donating blood/platelets. You get injected with something to stimulate your stem cells/bone marrow production (I don’t remember exactly) and then it’s removed in a similar process to taking blood. There’s no more drilling into your back and taking it directly from the bone.

So in terms of organ donation, this is the easiest one you could do AND it requires minimal effort on your part.

Donate blood, donate platelets, register with bethematch.org www.bethematch.organd maybe save a life.

The city of Boston, Massachusetts is featured in Godzilla media such as the video game Godzilla: Save the Earth, the IDW Publishing comic series Godzilla: Rulers of Earth, and the 2019 film Godzilla: King of the Monsters.

You'd think there would be more Godzilla fans, right?
