  2. Lifeblood's blood donation eligibility expands for gay and bisexual men, transgender people
    abc.net.au/news/2026-04-20/lif

    Ever since the emergence of HIV/AIDS in the 1980s, and the rampant homophobia and mismanagement in medical professions that helped HIV/AIDS turn into a crisis, the Australian Red Cross has had an overtly anti-LGBT policy regarding who can donate blood or platelets.

    The Australian Red Cross insisted on maintaining that policy of exclusion even when called-out for it in recent years. They weren't hiding it; the Blood Bank put it in everyone's face with certain questions in their questionnaire that you fill-in before you donate your blood. I've filled-in those forms and found those questions distasteful. Everyone could see those questions had no basis in medical science, risk management, testing, record-keeping, or their duty of care for patients.

    It's shocking to think the hate-based policies of the Australian Red Cross impeded their ability for the last 40 years to collect blood donations from the community to such an extent that it sometimes led to shortages of donor blood in hospitals. This reduced availability and slower emergency access would have cost some patients their life.

    I think today's news signals a decades-overdue change of attitude from the Australian Red Cross toward gay and bisexual men and transgender people.

    [Edit: nope, it doesn't. The "improved" version of the questionnaire includes a question that's so irrelevant to cis people that it will fly under the radar for most, but it appears designed to hurt and push away trans people.]

    I'm yet to see the details, so currently I'm taking it at face-value and with cautious optimism. All-up, I hope that means better care for everyone.

    [Edit: now I've seen some of the details, thanks to comments below. This "update" by Australian Red Cross is not about inclusion. It's about enshrining their exclusion of trans people. And the Australian Red Cross are giving themself a pat on the back for it. It's revolting.]

  9. So Lars what are we searching the web for today?
    How to remove blood stains from clothing!

    WHAT!!!!

    Well my blood was a bit more ready to get out of my body than both me and the nurse at the #bloodbank was ready for yesterday

  10. I am going to the vampires (#bloodbank) today it will be my ninth plasma donation this year and maybe the final for the year.
    Tuesday will determine this!

    But enough about me! In the #europe, in general, there is a lack of #blooddonors. If you have the ability to donate I urge you to do so!
    It takes a small amount of time and is virtually pain free!

    LET THE BLOOD FLOW FOR THE GREATER GOOD!!!

  16. opndt.shinyapps.io/bloodbank_i

    The main motivation behind this simple shiny app is to make it easier to locate #blood banks in I#ndia along with pincodes, addresses, contact person name and number.

    Data:
    Data for the #bloodbank application is sourced from Open Government Data Platform. The original data is available as a csv file called “Blood Bank Directory (updated Till Last Month)”. The raw data file, processed data file and my shiny code is made available on my github.

    I have tried my best to comment and explain where necessary.

    Data limitation:
    One of the limitations of this application is that the data is not 100% accurate. If we plot the raw data we see a few bloood bank location in Africa. There are close to 82 NA values for latitude and longitude.

    Hence when we create the shiny application we will ignore these points. I am in a process to update these points.

    Help:
    In case you observe the data projected on map is incorrect and you have more accurate or additional information that could be updated it will be great if you can email me - [email protected] and i will update the same.

  18. Real #introduction time. Hi I'm Dani, a medical lab scientist. I've been on the net since the '80s, so this isn't my first rodeo. :blobcatfingerguns:

    If you don't know what we do, we make doctors look smart. We do all the blood and body fluid testing — #chemistry, #hematology, #immunology, #bloodbank, #flowcytometry, etc. We are the jack of all lab trades.

    In my previous life I was in #IT. I love all kinds of #music, #tech, #gaming, #cooking, #metadiscussion about games and media, #ethics, and #geopolitics. My guilty pleasure is #fanfiction.
