I was supposed to donate blood on Christmas Eve but had been unwell in the week earlier so rescheduled to New Year's Eve.

I know in the UK this is a time where extra blood stocks are needed to save lives. Please consider donating, it is quick, easy, and painless.

@Flominator

That would be the logical conclusion, but in complete honesty I've not really checked. I did get a dick pic as a reply on twitter the other day.

While my Bluesky account explodes with new followers, I've had nary the one new follower here on Mastodon.

It is Betamax vs VHS all over again.

What do you do when on holiday James?

Me: Go to a room with 80s music playing and participate in communal bloodletting with strangers. Why is that weird?
