Making a donation Find out how you can give blood, plasma or platelets today.

Donating blood is an incredibly important way that so many people can help in the aftermath of a mass casualty event, as these frequently strain bloodbank reserves.

Australians can begin donation through the Red Cross Lifeblood service or by calling 13 14 95.

The best noir movies to stream this #Noirvember Join the Noirvember project, streaming noir picks from Orson Welles and Alfred Hitchcock to hidden gems and modern neo-noirs.

My favorite part of curating an annual #Noirvember recs list from the Polygon staff is learning about noir movies I've never seen. There are some bangers in the "deep cuts" section here.

Anas al-Sharif, prominent Al Jazeera correspondent, among five journalists killed in Israeli airstrike on Gaza Israel admits deliberate attack on the journalist, known for frontline coverage, in a strike on a tent outside al-Shifa hospital

I have studied the targeting of journalists for many years, but the scale and public display of these killings is truly shocking: β€œIsrael admits deliberate attack on the journalist, known for frontline coverage, in a strike on a tent outside al-Shifa hospitalβ€œ

How My Reporting on the Columbia Protests Led to My Deportation As an Australian who wrote about the demonstrations while on campus, I gave my phone a superficial clean before flying to the U.S. I underestimated what I was up against.

First ever Cannes felt like a social experiment of sorts: twas fun exploring, meeting new+old friends and LOTs of learning - and mostly just reigniting my love for arthouse cinema after being in the depths of the TV world for months. Plus, swimming in the ocean after 7 months was glorious!!

M83's score for Bi Gan's RESURRECTION is divine, just astonished at their range (esp after being a big fan of their Oblivion score a good few years back -but this feels like another turn/musical feel - both playful and luscious). Stayed through all the credits so I could continue listening to it

Todd Haynes casually ran onto the stage he was being honoured on with his backpack and then waxed on about how his films dissect authenticity around identity. Such film professor/academic energy

first day of cannes and learning that it wasn't la croissant, but la croisETTE.... it has been an overwhelming day! but i loved hearing todd haynes talk about his work and - tho it's not a new release - but I'M NOT HERE is so brilliant, and i just adored how fresh and different it felt for a biopic
