  • donating blood is NOT donating plasma.

    blood is probably more valuable, especially if you're near something crazy, like a war or natural disaster. blood is so valuable it's insane

    plasma, also super valuable, not so immediately helpful to people dying in a war zone

    i was literally just asking about mosquito bites what the fuck

  • to correct myself

    Mosquito-borne diseases or mosquito-borne illnesses are diseases caused by bacteria, viruses or parasites transmitted by mosquitoes. Nearly 700 million people contract mosquito-borne illnesses each year, resulting in more than a million deaths.[1]

    Diseases transmitted by mosquitoes include malaria, dengue, West Nile virus, chikungunya, yellow fever,[2] filariasis, tularemia, dirofilariasis, Japanese encephalitis, Saint Louis encephalitis, Western equine encephalitis, Eastern equine encephalitis,[3] Venezuelan equine encephalitis, Ross River fever, Barmah Forest fever, La Crosse encephalitis, and Zika fever,[3] as well as newly detected Keystone virus and Rift Valley fever. A preprint by Australian research group argues that Mycobacterium ulcerans, the causative pathogen of Buruli ulcer is also transmitted by mosquitoes.[4]

  • the 12-hour clock used in the u.s. has fucked me and my head many times. i set my alarm to 8'o'clock, woke at 8 p.m., saw the sun in the horizon, and set off for class. by the time i got to class it was almost dark and i thought maybe the real shit had dialed in and the sun wasn't ever coming back.

  • Literally a true story. Big Jesus dying everywhere but also super hot White Bearded Jesus' face everywhere. They sell this shit I every single fucking store all across America
