    Don’t do it, you can’t get rid of the huge needle scars

    EDIT: I tried to upload a pic of the scar on my arm, but I keep getting an error 🙄

      Definitely this. Just get evicted instead - that way you can still wear short sleeves.

      I mean you totally should do it, a number of people will die without access to the medication it makes.

      It sucks that they’re in so short supply they have to offer so much money and that people are so poor they need it to survive.

      But my little needle scars don’t harm me any.

          I mean we are in permanent undersupply.

          So everyone that is willing should do it. If everyone did it once a month we wouldn’t need multi week people, but all we can really get is impoverished people doing it a ton. :shrug:

            You’re saying “we.” Are you involved in plasma collection/donation drives/however I should phrase that?

            If so, I’m curious about something. I’m gay, and sexually active. I have protected sex, and I’m on prep. I do have multiple partners, though. Should I donate? Because I’ve always used the whole gay ban as an excuse not to, because I truly despise needles to a phobia level. But I’d like to help if I can.

              Oh I donated plasma when I could so that’s why I use “we”. I’m too sick now, but you almost certainly can volunteer at blood drives to help and the like, can even help organize them if you have access to a public space. You should reach out.
