I didn't have "John Gaius is like Sam Bankman Fried" on my 2024 TLT Discourse Bingo Card but we live and learn

#once again begging the fandom to hate this man for the shit he actually did not the shit that's not real #he ended the world!! he mindwiped his friends! he leads the space empire of death! #pick one of THOSE #why are you looking at a guy explicitly depicted as 1. having SUCCESSFULLY developed a revolutionary technology he's refining #2. handpicked by the soul of the earth and 3. explicitly from an underprivileged background #and you think 'wow just like those privileged silicon valley hacks who were in it for the money' #elle tlt posting #tlt

people on tiktok well on all social media sites actually will loudly critique the fact some people (especially those who only watched the movies) “didn’t get the point of the hunger games” and then turn around and say gale is the worst person in the universe and treat him like he’s a monster, and that all these traits are innate characteristics completely isolated from the circumstances in which he lived and the people around him. like girlie i think maybe YOU didn’t get the point here either.

#obviously this isn’t to say you need to or were “supposed to” like gale #there are a lot of good reasons to criticize him. esp wrt his sense of entitlement to katniss. #but he’s not supposed to be a Villain™️ #like he’s a poor traumatized (brown coded) boy whose very valid anger was used to groom him into a perfect soldier. #kind of almost like it’s a critique on the militarization of young boys. esp those who are underprivileged. #which doesn’t excuse his actions & it doesn’t mean you have to like him #but it’s enraging when people act like he is a heartless monster who is unredeemable or whatever. like. oh that’s not…. #bonus points if they babygirlify cato and clove (and marvel and glimmer) and cry about how they’re just kids #+ “they were only the way they are bc of the capitol 🥺”. #like yes it’s a big point that they were kids groomed to be child soldiers because the capitol pressured and “rewarded” career districts #to churn out child soldiers and whatnot. but that. ok. #truly just how do you hold the belief that to an extent excuses them or at least makes them sympathetic— #—but then not extend that empathy to gale. side eye. #esp bc a lot of the stuff is taking potshots at gale to uplift peeta/everlark. #like. uh! okay! #obligatory disclaimer i don’t actually like gale. however i am at my limit on weird and bad and inconsistent takes on him. #yeah he sucks. almost like that’s because he was horrifically oppressed by the captiol + then was groomed to be the ideal soldier by coin. #crazy how that’s the point. #and AGAIN. doesn’t EXCUSE what he does. but it’s important to acknowledge bc it v much contextualizes who and what he is and does. #the hunger games #gale hawthorne #i don’t think i need to tag this in the anti tag but lmk

I think I’m done.

I’ve written many posts about my experience as a doctor. Some of them are funny, some of them sad. Some of them poignant.

But I think I’m done being a doctor in the current public healthcare system where I live.

I’m a Family Medicine resident. I rotated through two and a half years of hosptial residencies, and I’m in my first year of clinic-only practice. It should sound good; no more 26-38 hour shifts on top of 12 hour workdays.

But I’m currently seeing 33-37 patients from 9-1 pm daily and 24 patients from 2-5 pm daily. I also sometimes work 6-10 pm. Each of these clinic sessions also includes a solid 1.5 inches of seperate lab results I’m expected to screen during consultation time. I work Monday through to half of Saturday. Im expected to also complete a dermatology university diploma on top of this. I have exams in family medicine this year, the year after that, and two years after. Three and a half years more at least until I’m a specialist.

I can’t do it. I can’t keep giving each patient only 5 minutes of time as I’m doing now. I didn’t become a doctor to have to balance whether I should see my patient’s third complaint or ask them to book another session so I can have time to pee and eat.

Peeing and eating is like…the lowest level of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. I’ve spent all of my adult working years, from 23 years of age til now, chasing that. The right to pee and eat and drink.

The department head has his head so far up his ass with bootlicking the government that last quarter he pulled workforce away from chronic cases for half-full covid clinics and made us each therefore have to review 56 cases per four hour session. When we raised the issue of patient safety one of his associate consultants said, “I know it’s hard! Let’s get through this together!”

He is famed for picking on whether residents punctuate the numbering of their past medical history lists with brackets or periods.

Nope. Nope. Nope.

This afternoon between patients, I suddenly realised I had lost my voice. I’d been speaking too much. Moreover, I think my autistic brain had finally clicked over into the “dude you better go non verbal or you’ll die” function. Of course, I couldn’t actually afford to be non verbal. I plowed through the remaining cases so dissociated I nearly blacked out.

If I pass these next two years’ exams, I become senior resident. I will have the privilege of not being entrusted with 33 cases every four hours, but 40.

40 cases; all of them episodic patients, not chronic. This means all of them come in with new complaints, as in multiple. Time per patient gets knocked down to four minutes.

Respectfully, Fuck That.

I’m waiting until I get contract gratuity this summer, do the damn exam that everyone agrees is insane, and then I’ll apply to a plethora of private clinics in September and kiss this bloody department goodbye.

I want to be able to spend more than two minutes comforting a crying patient, dammit.

If I don’t leave soon I’ll break, and that’ll compromise patient safety over anything else.

#medblr #medicine #doctor #medical happenings #my post #every time we ask if they can cut the quota so each patient gets better care they’re like oh we’re serving the community #dude we operate in the most underprivileged area of our city #you try explaining things to an illiterate 80 year old man in 2 minutes at the end of a consultation #our chief of service is a lunatic #personal

The post that goes "maybe it seems pretentious to you because you only watch bluey," but this time including the inverse "maybe you only think bluey is 'deep and meaningful for a kids show' because it's the only kids show you watch."

#im not even referring to steven universe or avatar or wahtever. i mean actual preschool baby shows #the way the bear in the big blue house was a unique safe haven for autistic kids and created Such a healing atmosphere for so many youths. #the way seasame street has been built consciously and intentionally to provide education and emotional support for underprivileged kids #(or hell. even normal privileged kids that just aren't old enough for school yet.) #most ppl dont even know bluey was originally pitched as a show for adults!! #it was pitched as something families could watch together but it was primarily a learning tool to teach good parenting skills. #and it still has that! its very supportive and validating of its adult audience because Thats Who It Was Supposed To Be For. #so many preschool shows are actually consciously made not only to limit imitable behavior but also to actively psychologically enrich kids #and ppl who watch bluey never give other shows the credit ffs

Apparently, Girl Meets World makes it canon that Eric never has any kids, and excuse me, but I call bullshit.

#i don't normally have headcanons about characters having kids but #i just reached the ep where eric is santa and scrounges up a bunch of gifts to give to underprivileged kids and come on #he has about five #with jack probably #boy meets world #text post

[waitineedaname]

I'm thinking about post-canon stuff and I think ling and mei should be horrible besties once they're back in xing and ling has become emperor. they didn't really get the chance to interact or be siblings and I doubt they're close with any of their other half-siblings, but they both lived through the Weirdest Fucking Year Ever in amestris, during which mei became best friends with a serial killer and ling got possessed on purpose, and I think they should bond over it. I think this manifests in them driving each other insane in the way only siblings can. ling has annoying older brother baked into his bones and has never had anyone to direct that energy at, but now he steals food off her plate when she's not looking and teases her about her crush on alphonse as much as possible. mei is the only person allowed to make fun of the emperor to his face, and it scares the shit out of onlookers who don't know them every single time. she'll be like "your highness, you're being annoying. also you have food in your teeth." and everyone around them is like "oh my god the chang princess is going to get her ass executed" but ling just laughs at her. they're best friends.

#fma #fmab #I'm thinking about writing another scar and mei found family fic but this time post-canon and in xing #and while scar and mei's dynamic would be the focus #ling and mei's dynamic after having a couple years to get used to each other just seems so fun to explore #he's from a huge clan and she's from an underprivileged one. she deserves to bully him a little once he's emperor #he needs to be kept humble

Aro culture is being friends with the straight aro-spec cis man who's "stealing resources" that exclus like to fearmonger about and knowing that he's done more for the community than those whiny pissbabies ever have

.

#Anonymous #aro culture is #aro #aromantic #actually aro #actually aromantic #ask #mod phoenix #honestly if someone thinks ppl are stealing resources from underprivileged groups it's usually pretty obvious they don't understand shit #like. 1) people using resources almost always means they get more funding #2) if it is happening.... lmao what money do you think these groups even have to steal from? #the majority of public services get funding based on a combination of limited private donations and public funding that's based on the #usage of the previous period of use #typically yearly #so - for example - if a university queer campus center of some sort is given 10k for funding in a year #(and i'm using a specific example i know of irl) #and they only use 5k of that? #most likely they will receive closer to 5k of funding the next year and not be able to meet any increased needs #using the money they are given means that they have the ability to take on larger projects #using those resources allows them to get large enough funding grants and shit to take on #the actual systems of oppression rather than desperately trying to keep individuals afloat #who are already aware of them and willing to ask for help #and knowing that a large portion of their community is unaware of those resources or too afraid of stealing resources to ask for help #which they not only *can* provide but *want to* provide #because it helps both those individuals and *that group* to be able to push for larger systematic change in the future #so yeah just. opinions. #if someone says they need the funding these groups are happy to do everything in their power to work with them #and honestly someone actually being malicious probs will stick out like a fucking sore thumb #and even then i've seen groups like these use it as a learning opportunity #to be like 'hey it's pretty clear you came here with this intention. now that you're here... how are you feeling about that? why?'

Casey "a good kid from a bad neighborhood" Jones has my entire heart. If you even care.

#characters who refuse to be defined by the shitty circumstances of their lives mean everything to me #he grew up underprivileged and is an abuse victim and is struggling to pass his classes #but the first thing he does upon meeting a giant talking turtle #is do his best to help him out #he cares about protecting the people in bad situations like his #and trying to make the world (or even just nyc) a little bit better #hes just a regular dude #but hes putting himself right in the middle of these dangerous circumstances #because why shouldnt he fight? defend the people who cant fight themselves? #anyway. idw casey i love you so much #tmnt idw #tmnt

The ENTP urge to somehow never attend meetings for clubs but still be a *key member* in the group

#look what we did for our underprivileged kids #entp #mbti #personality type #personality #meyers briggs #i was the artist for joirnalism #essentially mailed them my art #they only saw me on day one #diversity club #i never went to a single meeting #but i somehow ended up being the one giving the speeches #funny enough i was a part of the society of women engineers #not once at the meetings but a main fundraiser from pizza sales #what can i say #i like selling pizza #and now im a key alumni being the dr engineer who jumped country #i refuse to donate money to my high school because theyre rich and they abuse it #but they always contact me **also possibly because im black and theyre like the types #i was in a lot of brochures as a kid #like Garrett from superstore #im thankful for the good education but also realize that that its gatekept so more thankful to my parents for getting me there #spread the love #getting political but access to good education should be a right #wow this got off topic

love how all the Glass Onion/ Knives Out criticism has been from film Bros meanwhile the entirety of Tumblr (a gay smorgasbord) has been cheering it

#film bros need to shut up #if every movie was the Godfather there would be no joy in the world #let them be silly gay detectives with baker husbands and helpers for underprivileged working class women #glass onion #benoit blanc #knives out

[m0tel6mxzzy]

sometimes i wish i grew up loaded rich bc i totally would have done art school instead. when i was like 16 thinking abt college art was all i did. my parents always encouraged me to do art bc they felt i was good at it when i put in my time, but bc “u can’t make money out of it” they never wanted me doing art as a college career

#i’d like to do art again and sell prints or something #i used to have this dream of applying to an art school and moving to nyc or something #i really love big cities i think one of those is where i belong #but the psych major in me wants to stay in the south and help underprivileged kids somehow

Discourse is one person proclaiming that terfism is rejected in favour of Marxist feminism in the third world and all terfs only exist in online spaces, then another person saying that terfism is the default mainstream feminist opinion and all other types exist only online with third world world women all being terfs and correctly so.

Neither of these people have ever met a trans person, a queer person, a poor person , a feminist, a Marxist, or a person from the third world in their lives outside of the internet.

Why?

Because they're both 15, white, and living in surburban Wisconsin.

#hint: the internet and books exist outside of the west and therefor any underprivileged group of women will have a variety of opinions #anti imperialism #feminism #marxist feminism #proletarian feminism #third worldism #radical nonalignment
