I just finished a double red blood cell donation at Children's Hospital Boston. It's been a while since I donated since I was doing clinical trials; you can't donate blood during a trial. Now the trials are over (probably for good, I've "aged out") so I can go back to donating every 16 weeks (2RBC donations are half as often; since they take 2x red cells the body needs more time to recover).
Donating blood saves lives. If you can, please donate!

@jessiegender also highlights how #Andor deviates from the usual #StarWars #narration by emphasizing the role of regular people and that of #commoninterest building, how #altruism is key for true #solidarity and how #rebellions and #revolution are made by everyday people, not by mystical figures chosen by a #destiny. She also underlines how the series fails with respect to some deeper Western trope of colonialism and heterosexism, with the paths attributed to women, poc and queer people.

The highest meaning of a social group is to foster the development of its members' individual potential. Group well-being depends on it.

The Toyota Way, Second Edition: 14 Management Principles from the World’s Greatest Manufacturer
By Jeffery K. Liker Book Review This was not a book I would typically read. Why do I want to know about the vehicle brand Toyota? I'm a writer, not an automobile manufacturer. The book came as a recommendation from a colleague at work. He has a side business and got this book for his birthday. The Toyota Way wasn't about the vehicles.

Excellent video of #TrevorNoah explaining in simple terms how billionaires, especially #ElonMusk, evade taxes on their enormous wealth.
Not only the technicalities explained by Noah are to blame. The billionaires have great #greed, #arrogance, & #narcissism. They also completely lack #compassion, #empathy, & #altruism.
Thank you, @greenpeace, for this informative edit.

🌳 Oh look, another tech startup altruistically promising that money isn't everything, while repeating their app download link like a broken record 🤔. The founder's noble quest to save the world one search at a time is totally not a clever marketing strategy to grow their user base 🌍✨.

🐭 Mice performing first aid? #Science says yes! When a fellow mouse passes out, others sniff, nudge, and even pull its tongue – seemingly trying to revive it.
What drives this? Transcendent altruism? Or maybe... mom’s meatballs? 🤔 Nope. #Oxytocin.

Are we just biochemical puppets? Or should we start prescribing oxytocin to certain... empathy-challenged individuals?

@gerowen i'd say everything is pretty much quid pro quo - work, church, family, relationships - there is no free ride out there (mostly) - even experience and ip come with a price #altruism #skewered values #let's make a deal #structured welfare
