donated blood and I'm not feeling it tonight, so we went with a quick idea. If you can, donating is really good for your health! It's really the only way to remove heavy metals and microplastics from the bloodstream so even just for greedy reasons it's a good idea! But also be a hero!

I have shirts that shrink like that, it's one of life's mysteries why that happens.
Strange how they always shrink after pizza.
Good on ya for donating blood! That shirt could use some ironing 😄
