Donated 3 units of platelets today at Stanford's Blood Center. They are probably already on their way to a human who needs them over the next day or two.
Usually it's 2 units unless they have a need. The 3rd unit adds about 20-30 min overall to the collection time.
Donate if you can. #blooddonation #donateblood #platelets

As a former #BloodDonor and current cancer patient (www.ajstein.de/cholangio.htm) – who has also relied on #transfusions when blood counts were too low after chemotherapy – I can only say: #DonateBlood, for free: www.drk-blutspende.de/blutspendete... or for money! #cancer

After giving lifetime blood donation #47 today, I visited the MLK memorial in Seattle and reflected on the new article in the South Seattle Emerald looking back at the efforts to rename Empire Way to MLK Way before I was born.

Nearly 50,000 people have registered to #donateblood & #plasma, more than double the previous Lifeblood record.
The agency said a total of 7,810 donations of blood, plasma & #platelets were made yesterday across #Australia.
Lifeblood is urging people to continue booking appointments for donations through the week & the rest of the holiday season. #auspol
[it shouldn’t take a terrorist attack to inspire people to donate blood. It should be something we ALL do routinely. Ditto organ donation]

Donating blood plasma again. They have aircon here, so that's my main reason today 😹

I just finished a double red blood cell donation at Children's Hospital Boston. It's been a while since I donated since I was doing clinical trials; you can't donate blood during a trial. Now the trials are over (probably for good, I've "aged out") so I can go back to donating every 16 weeks (2RBC donations are half as often; since they take 2x red cells the body needs more time to recover).
Donating blood saves lives. If you can, please donate!

🇬🇧 Today I went to donate blood for the first time! 🩸That also means I received an answer to most of my questions about donating blood while genderqueer, on HRT and ADHD medication in Germany.
- Gender, Sex, HRT
Women can donate four, men can donate six times a year over here. Since I officially carry the 'third gender' of my country and I've been on HRT for several years, they didn't initially know what to do with me.
They expressed sympathies with me on how aged and outdated their systems and protocols were – most of them were still on Windows XP or older and the software only featured 'male' and 'female' options.
They came to the conclusion that due to my long-term hormone replacement therapy, I was nowadays closer to 'biologically female' than 'biologically male', and that they'd keep me in their systems as female.
[This was somewhat funny to me. I can only imagine what a transphobe would think about the idea of medical personnel determining me as biologically female.]
Hormones were also no issue whatsoever, and the doctor told me that my 'transsexuality' that I initially put into 'pre-existing conditions' is not a medical condition but just a facet of life and therefore should not be listed there.
- ADHD medication
Taking Lisdexamfetamine (Elvanse/Vyvanse) was not an issue whatsoever. They're mostly looking out for blood-altering medication such as blood thinners, and illegal drugs.
They're trying to minimise risks, and people who take illegal drugs are way more likely to use unsanitary syringes or even unknowingly consume unknown or dangerous substances that may linger in the blood due to consuming laced drugs.
Same thing with sex: since 2023, they don't ask for sexuality anymore. Instead, I was allowed to have 'up to and including 2' sexual partners within the past four months, or 'up to 1' sexual partner with who I practised anal. No questions about sexual orientation appeared.
Hope this helps someone!

I donated platelets again yesterday. I remain in a four week rotation. Lifetime donation number 223.
My blood is normal AFAIK. Stories like this Australian donor who recently passed show the absolute nobility of being able to save a life. Or a couple million lives. With just a blood donation. It's not hard.

The Red Cross communications were getting pretty extreme so I hopped on their app made an appointment and spent part of a day off bleeding for those in need. If you’re eligible and willing see this as a nudge to donate. Plus #FreeSnacks #DonateBlood #RedCross

As a type O and very regular blood donor, this is the first time that Bloodworks has ever texted me with follow-up info like this: apparently, the pint of blood I donated last month went to someone receiving cancer treatment at Providence Portland Medical Center.

Donated 2 units of #platelets yesterday at one of #stanfordbloodcenter donation centers. Tried my right arm, which I hadn't used for donations in a while. I'm still on a regular donation, and this was 215 I think. I'm considering increasing if it works for them.
#donateblood if you can. You'll likely give life to another human.

ProTip: giving blood in the morning makes you feel 100% justified in being super lazy the rest of the day. Napping, eating cookies, drinking juice... I should do this every day*
*do not try to do this every day.

It took me < 30 mins to donate blood, I have no idea why more folks don't do it.
Free chips, cookies, drinks, nice people, a little quiet in your day.
And you help others.

The United States of America’s Food & Drug Administration has at last revoked the restrictions on bi and gay men donating blood.
The rules made sense in the 1980s when introduced in the face of HIV and AIDS, with no treatment options and – in those days – the overwhelming majority of cases among bi and gay men.

Friendly reminder that there is no such thing as artificial blood: it needs to come from some human out there.
