There’s an urgent need for blood in the aftermath of the Brown University shooting
If you can give, please do
If you can’t, please spread the word
Its terrifying to think how bad this shooting might be if they need an urgent call for blood, but the more people donating the more lives we can save

I am a student at Brown in communication with a friend at RIBC.
There is an urgent need for blood donations to support RI. Donations in NY, NJ, MN, NB, DE or NJ can help supply RI.
Spread the word.

This is outrageous. It is abundantly clear that Republicans and the Trump administration want to strangle the VA until it all get privatized.

I was just reading an article about menopause that said in Victorian times the process was labelled Uterine Fury.
So that is what we shall call it henceforth.

You can’t be anti-Vax without believing all kinds of other bullshit that has affected not only your life but everyone you have come in contact with. Avoid these people like the plague they literally are. RFKJr should be in a padded room.

I just got all teary and sentimental writing the previous posts. Xmas time does that. Also, coming up in January is our 40th wedding anniversary. How crazy is that? Went by so fast! 40 years married, 42 together, two kids, one grandkid, a few moves, two lives hanging together till the ride is over.
