I Don’t Want to Die

cuteanarchy

Hey tumblr! It’s your local disabled queer Jew and things are fucked. If you’re looking to help someone out, please consider helping me out.

I am disabled, but it’s become debilitating in the last few years which has made it hard to find work, and disability is hard to get and takes usually 2-4 years at the soonest.
I am not eating really because I have no money.
I have no money. Like, none.
Rent is due in 4 days. It is 805 dollars I don’t have.
My electric was due 2 days ago. My air conditioning will likely be turned off because I don’t have the money for it, which could lead to hospitalization or death for someone like me.
Please help me it’s my birthday on August 8th and I’d like to not die before then.
I am my own support system I have really nobody I can lean on in this hard time.

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.
