hey, so i know that we’re out here rallying against ships like tri//fe and nick//loon, but can we not point fingers at anybody? my girlfriend ships nick//case. sure, i totally get that it’s an unhealthy ship, and i don’t ship them either, but be nice to her please. she’s a sensitive bean.

also if you see anyone who ships anything you disagree with, leave them alone. it’s okay not to like a ship for being supposedly abusive, but don’t shove your views in their face and be overly defensive about it.

For the details with no paywall:

More gay and bisexual men will now be able to donate blood under finalized FDA rules

While the number of people eligible to donate blood has expanded, the agency says it will continue to monitor the safety of the blood supply

NPR

The article says that the guidelines have been updated. Instead of asking if you’re a man that’s had sex with another man in the past 3 months it asks everyone regardless of gender if they’ve had anal sex with a new partner or if they’ve had anal sex with multiple partners in the past 3 months.

This both opens up blood donation to msm in exclusive relationships or who don’t have anal sex and more accurately identifies hiv risk from people who aren’t msm. This is exactly the sort of guidelines we’ve been fighting for for years. This is a major win for both gay rights and blood donation in the US. Now a bunch of people who couldn’t donate before can donate now.
