turning my grief into anger at racial healthcare disparities bc why the fuck was a fucking DOCTOR mocking my grandmother who had Just been diagnosed with fucking stomach cancer about what he assumed her diet to be!! “oh i bet you eat plenty of hamhock and fried chicken and pork chops 🤗” and the nurses neglecting her bc “oh you’re independent you can do this yourself ☺️”. we know that if she’d gone to see someone as soon as she had symptoms they would have dismissed everything outta hand. no fucking wonder she waited so. fucking. long bc she knew Exactly how black people (Especially black women) are treated in by the majority of medical professionals: like god damn animals.
like wow ok. the concept of “medicine” is just a another tool this country uses to demoralize, dehumanize, and kill black people all while shaking them upside down until the money stops falling out.
i saw a post abouts lesbians in healthcare that was like “it sucks but ive received more comprehensive care when i lie about wanting to get pregnant” and for fat people “tell me what your diagnosis would be if i was 50, 100, 150 lbs lighter” and black people dont get that!! we cant lie and say “treat me as if i was three shades lighter” bc the biases from even seeing dark skin are so deeply embedded in the way people learn about medicine!!
Great job combating antisemitism guys. Punishing students who won’t accept the idea that opposition to Israel makes you David fucking Duke is a fantastic way to diminish conspiracy theories about us secretly controlling institutions. Legitimately, I can’t think of many ways to make people more antisemitic than “you have to like Israel or you’re not allowed to take classes”
Gotta hand it to Keith David for voicing hundreds of characters and not changing his voice for any of them (except maybe a slight New Orleans accent for Dr. Facilier)
there’s two kinds of voice actors, the ones who always sound completely different and the ones who always sound exactly the same. mr. keith david is on the mount olympus of category #2
I think one of the most dangerous things we can do is justify why we should treat marginalized people well. “Gay people aren’t just interested in sex” “people who use welfare often work multiple jobs” “some people are fat because of a health issue” I actually don’t care about any of these things. We shouldn’t be treating people inhumanly regardless, and that’s what we’re fighting for.
“next time, log in faster with fingerprint/face/iris recognition!” how about i keep typing my password like i have for the past 25 years and you fuck off
a comic i started in november 2023, then didn’t know how to finish as the numbers kept growing higher and higher. then they grew too high not to finish it
the “fuck canon everything is made up do whatever you want forever” approach to fandom can be fun in small doses but i find that subscribing a little too hard to that attitude can lead to this belief that serious engagement with and analysis of a text is an act of no fun self-flagellation when that couldn’t be further from the truth. analysis is literally fun
There’s a bunch of adhd advice out there that’s like “people with adhd tend to work better under deadlines due to the anxiety so here are ways to artificially induce a stress response in order to get you to get work done” and it’s like well what if I don’t want to be stressed out all the time in order to function
