hey guys! if you’re healthy, stuck at home, and getting a little cabin fever, please consider making an appt with your local red cross office and donating blood if you’re able! these facilities and the workers there are super skilled at sanitizing after touching, wiping things down, changing gloves, etc, because that’s their standard practice to prevent contaminating any donations. meaning, it’s pretty safe, pathogen wise. there’s going to be fewer blood drive events in the next few months which will lead to shortages.
if you can’t donate for whatever reason (health, sexual orientation (<- god they need to change this rule), weight, etc) consider encouraging a friend or family member. give them a ride, buy them a coffee, walk their dog, whatever!
if any of you go, i’ll buy YOU a coffee, just send me a pic of you donating and your venmo/kofi/whatever and i’ll send you five bucks (or send 5 bucks to a charity of your choosing) up to the first 20 people.
