I will admit that I will NOT donate a kidney to a stranger. I might need the spare someday, or a relative might. So many years ago I watched this Filipino show about a single dad who sold a kidney to a wealthy Arab. With the money he was able to send his daughter to school and have a few decent years of living. Just a…

Usually when one goes on a Tinder date and ends up with one less kidney, it’s because one has been roofied and is now sitting in an ice-filled bathtub with a sloppily sutured surgical incision on one’s side.

This is good information. Also, tell your family members that, should something happen to you, you want to be an organ donor. Sounds a bit grim, but the next of kin pretty much has the final say as to whether you help save a life after yours is gone, so make sure he/she knows that you want to donate and that you’re…

Fun fact: you can sign up to be an organ donor online in some places. You just fill out a form with your identifying information, and they mail you a sticker to put on your license. It takes literally 5 minutes, and it’s not like you’re going to need your organs after you’re dead.

Yes do it! Especially if you are a person of color, there are fewer donors! I’ve been on the registry for about 3 years and I haven’t been asked either. I hope I can help someone if needed, but the chances are pretty slim (1/540- that’s from the bone marrow registry website)

My aunt lucked out and had a friend donate a kidney to her in April of 2012 after being in renal failure for decades. I’m on the registry, but worry my organs won’t be usable because of my genetic disorder.

Am I the only person who thinks it’s a sweeter story in a weird way because they didn’t end up as a couple? The media is often full of stories of couples who made it. You don’t usually hear stories about romances that didn’t pan out but still made a positive impact on people’s lives, and I think we need to hear more…

“How do you get from a blind date to one less kidney?”

On a related note: I know it sounds grim, but folks, put your name down on your driver’s license as a donor. Speaking as the child of someone who got an extra five years of life due to generous strangers, you can’t imagine how treasured and valuable these donations are.

You can also get on it by donating platelets, as I did back in the day. From what I understand, too, they don’t have to go anywhere near your hipbone to get the marrow- they can just give you a drug that makes the stem cells flow gently from your veins.

Nope. You regenerate bone marrow, you can’t regenerate a kidney if your remaining one fails for any reason down the road. Donating a kidney to a stranger truly is an admirable act, but not one to be undertaken lightly.

IDK about kidneys, but it’s actually really easy to sign up for the bone marrow donor registry. They mail you a kit, you swab your cheek and mail the swabs back, and they contact you if you ever match someone in need.

MAYBE SHE HASN’T FOUND ANYONE SHE LIKES LIKE THAT, GOSH!

I’m not sure if the fact that he’s slightly insane makes me more attracted to him, or makes me realize that I totally don’t mind and have a bit of a problem.

My boss recently got to interview a fairly famous athlete from our hometown. Everyone there was asking the same thing over and over, about his contract, what’s it like to play with so-and-so, etc. etc.—even when they were all in the same room and hearing his answers! When I my boss asked him a question related to our…

I would not be surprised if this was the truth (her never getting asked out). I saw something similar with a drop dead gorgeous friend of mine. Every nice guy would never approach her because they just assumed she was out of their league, while the only people to ever approach were jackasses who thought they were…

I’m just letting y’all know that I’m watching that Shia LaBeouf livestream of Shia LaBeouf watching every Shia LaBeouf movie. He’s on day three.

Google Shia LaBeouf watching Transformers and see why Shia LaBeouf is all of us.

Watch Shia LaBeoud Watch Shia LaBeouf

Update: the poor bastard, people keep coming up to Shia…

This judge has committed child abuse in the past and is allowed to make rulings regarding children?

That’s ridiculous. The judge is fucking fool. He should have ordered those sunglasses destroyed, instead.

This judge be like...
