Signed up to donate again mid August. I am O-, and they always need my blood. In a time where I feel helpless to change most of the shit that's happening, it is one thing I can do to help make things a little better.

Two of my favorites so far this spring. Wooing the Witch Queen by Stephanie Burgis and The Incandescent by Emily Tesh.

Favorite book of the year so far. I finished, and my response was "wow". Now I want to listen to the audio! Thank you @nnedi.bsky.social for this masterpiece.

This is Cricket and his string. He also carries it around and chirps at us to play with him. It is his 2nd string. The first was accidentally vacuumed up. I sacrificed one from a pair of pants because he was so sad.

I donate as often as I am able because I know O- is always needed.
