So, you may know I'm a big proponent of blood donation, and that's not changed, but I do need to make an important PSA on the subject: If you choose to become a regular donor, please be careful about your iron intake! More specifically, make sure you keep up your iron intake. Take a supplement if needed. Anemia can and will happen if you're not careful!

Hey folks, minor PSA regarding fediverse etiquette: autocensorship, word filters, and text-to-speech 

C*ns*r*ng w*rds l*k* th*s, by dropping asterisks or other symbols in the middle of the word in place of a letter? It breaks word filters and fucks up text-to-speech readers. Please don't.
