PSA: in Australia, ABC News has a ton of RSS feeds (but they don't link to them anywhere, and I've found at least one page that wants us to think they don't have any).

Anyway, here's a list. And a way to find more.

hello there, I'm back. I had no internet for 5 days straight and had some minor damage around the house due to the cyclone.
Here is a Dragon for you. I think it might like salty water. Or maybe it just came to see the sunset? Or possible it is just a Sea Dragon coming back home.

#JamesHarrison died

Who was James Harrison?

From age 18 to 81, every 2 weeks, he donated blood #plasma (unpaid)

He had the world record until 2022

The twist:

James' blood had high levels of Anti-D

#AntiD protects fetuses from Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn- the mother and fetus have immunological incompatibility

Before the 1960s, 50% of babies diagnosed with #HDFN died

James Harrison, over his life, saved *2.4 million* babies

#RIP
