Eligibility depends on the type of cancer and treatment history. If you had leukemia or lymphoma, including Hodgkin’s Disease and other cancers of the blood, you are not eligible to donate. Other types of cancer are acceptable if the cancer has been treated successfully and it has been more than 12 months since treatment was completed and there has been no cancer recurrence in this time. Lower risk in-situ cancers including squamous or basal cell cancers of the skin that have been completely removed and healed do not require a 12-month waiting period.

Precancerous conditions of the uterine cervix do not disqualify you from donation if the abnormality has been treated successfully. Discuss your particular situation with the health historian at the time of donation.

Unable to Give Blood?
Consider volunteering or hosting a blood drive through the Red Cross. You can also help people facing emergencies by making a financial donation to support the Red Cross’s greatest needs. Your gift enables the Red Cross to ensure an ongoing blood supply, provide humanitarian support to families in need and prepare communities by teaching lifesaving skills.

Screenshot from The Machine Looks Back by Katherine Lee. There is a wave of books asking how social media platforms shape the stories we tell about ourselves and, through that shaping, what new kind of self they are producing.
Megan Garber's Screen People argues that the language and ethos of entertainment have permeated every aspect of life, so that we now see each other as characters in an ongoing show whose continuity we are responsible for maintaining. Kathryn Jezer-Morton's The Story of Your Life, out in August, makes the related case that algorithmic platforms have disciplined what counts as a shareable experience into what Jia Tolentino's blurb calls a rigid, optimized, phone-shaped norm.

Screenshot from Tumblr, including a medieval painting of a monk writing in a book and a winged demon looking on. From user 1: today I learned... that in the middle ages there was a popular belief in a demon of language, one who collected the words of people women gossiping in church, and the mumbled syllables of priests who weren't saying mass properly. He was also held responsible for scribal errors. Later he haunted printing presses, causing typesetters to make mistakes.
Today I learned... there is a typo demon, it has a name, and it is Tutivillus (Titivillus).

Let America Be America Again
Langston Hughes, 1902 - 1967
Let America be America again.
Let it be the dream it used to be.
Let it be the pioneer on the plain
Seeking a home where he himself is free.
(America never was America to me.)
Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed-Let it be that great strong land of love
Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme
That any man be crushed by one above.
(It never was America to me.)
O, let my land be a land where Liberty Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath, But opportunity is real, and life is free, Equality is in the air we breathe.
(There's never been equality for me, Nor freedom in this "homeland of the free.")
Say, who are you that mumbles in the dark?
And who are you that draws your veil across the stars?
I am the poor white, fooled and pushed apart, I am the Negro bearing slavery's scars.
I am the red man driven from the land, I am the immigrant clutching the hope I seek-And finding only the same old stupid plan Of dog eat dog, of mighty crush the weak.
I am the young man, full of strength and hope, Tangled in that ancient endless chain Of profit, power, gain, of grab the land!
Of grab the gold! Of grab the ways of satisfying need!
Of work the men! Of take the pay!
Of owning everything for one's own greed!

The words, 10 common mistakes people make when jogging.
1. Lying down. This isn't even jogging. It is pretty much just lying down.
2. Rolling. There is no rolling in jogging. Did someone tell you there would be rolling?
3. Falling into a wishing well. Jogging is hard when you're nips-deep in nasty wishes.
4. Carrying two shotguns under your arms to keep your balance. Always go gun less
5. Letting your brain become a little
wet carnival of irrational thoughts.
6. Wearing a baggy black tracksuit. What are you, a druid? Just wear shorts.
7. Counting on your sins on one hand. Then two hands. Then shrieking, my sins are more numerous than my hands will permit. Your jog will be ruined.
8. Listening to shrimp jazz on your headphones. Derp derp doobie derp that's shrimp jazz.
9. Taking a rest inside of a giant tumbleweed. You will never escape.
10. Suddenly exploding due to boredom.
