Me thinking about all the invalidation I've experienced in the past.

(7/30/26) The Red Cross just declared the second US blood crisis in its history.

Summer sees both a drop off in donations and, at least for our trauma center, a spike in traumas. Trauma centers across the US are in danger of running out of blood for our trauma patients TODAY, which is very scary but, unlike much of the other scary national news coming across our screens these days, is something you can help fix immediately and directly.

We need ASAP donations of blood, for people to spread the word, and for manager types to help facilitate others' donations. All blood types are needed, but universal donor blood (type O) is especially dire.

[tam--lin]

Useful notes and reminders from the reblogs:

Many things that previously made people ineligible have been rolled back. If you previously thought you were ineligible, please consider checking current guidelines!

While O- is the most dire need as it can be safely given to anyone in an emergency, all types are needed! Our emergent release blood is being pulled for patients who have a high chance of death if they don't get blood within the hour. Once they're stabilized, they can have their type confirmed and get blood of a specific, matching type released to them so that O- can go to the patients who need it most.

Canada is also in a blood shortage, not just the US. Even if you're not in the USA or Canada, maybe check locally, especially if it's summer where you are.

This week has been the requisite Loud Airplane Noises Week here in Seattle, when SeaFair happens and the Blue Angels do their air show. I don't mean like regular airplane noise, I'm actually pretty close to a commercial airplane fly path and I get regular airplane noise all the time and don't really even notice it (the last apartment I lived in was also near a fly path, airplanes are just part of life for me now I guess). But the Blue Angels are like, unbelievably loud. If I leave the window open it's genuinely frightening. My cats flee from the living room in fear when they come by

All this week they've just been practicing, when the weekend comes they will do the for-real show and half of Seattle will be in the park next to my apartment to watch them and the residential street that our garage exits on will be packed with cars when I want to go out and get groceries. At least the city is apparently towing any cars that are parked on one of the streets for the duration, that should help a little

I hate this military fetishism

Suing the difference in their atmosphere. Unfair. Friends should be able to touch each other. Should be illegal to prevent that from happening.
