THEORY TIME

White diamond is blank. Her face has no definitive features outside of her eyes, nose, and mouth. She speaks in a manner similar to that of GLaDOS, a robotic antagonist in the portal games. Everything about white is… blank… perfect.

I believe that white is the base form of all gemkind. And by that I mean she is the default, the ‘factory settings’ for all gems. She’s the most basic coding for a gem. All other gems have individual emotions and thoughts and beliefs, but white is void of any of those.

But that’s not the main point of this post, I believe she can revert other gems to this form as well.

White Pearl has no personality. Yellow Pearl is obnoxious and rude, and Blue Pearl is shy and quiet. It seems like her individuality has been erased. She moves rigidly, and is always en pointe. White pearl doesn’t even have her own original voice. She now has a different form of White Diamond’s voice. (Yes, they have the same VA). It’s possible that her eye was destroyed during the process of removing her personality.

My theory is that White can strip a gem of their soul and personality.

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.
