I'm one of the old ladies of Tumblr, a married lawyer mama adulting on a daily basis. Vote blue every time and fuck the GOP. I'm happy in the Dramione dumpster and fell hard into Heated Rivalry. I loved Captain Swan and Reylo (see "cs fic rec" and "reylo fic rec" tags), and still love wheel of time, pretty dresses, the Muppets, feminism, mental health, and angrily ranting about gerrymandering, voter suppression, and reproductive justice. If you are a fan of any of the above, you can come sit by me. Please make a plan to vote in every election and then actually vote.
before we start posting that july is gay wrath month letās consider that july is disability pride month first and foremost. the ābe gay do crimesā memes can wait
before this post breaches containment and people start going āwhy not both heheheā i want you to seriously consider the very long history of disabled peopleās existence being pushed aside and/or seen as secondary. i promise you itās not going to hurt to hold onto the memes and give disabled people space for visibility and celebration.
i say this as a disabled trans person whose trans identity is made front-and-center to the (mainly cis) people who know iām trans but my identity as a disabled person is brushed off by the very same people.

hail mary from rocky's perspective is so funny. imagine you met an alien for the first time ever and it was a hummingbird. its so so fragile and delicate and it needs to rest constantly and eat constantly and it views the world so totally different from you and then you find out the hummingbird is on a suicide mission
The way all the 2020s have done so far have been making me categorically against every new generation of tech that comes out is insane. Like I'm from a technological boom generation, saw the first portable phones, nokias & blackberries & flipphones etc, and the first smartphones, and the first ipods & ipads & tablets in general while still having cassettes & DVD & MP3 players around so I know how all of it work, I had computer classes in high school, I did the transition between home desktop computers to laptops and back to gaming computers. But then they started to put internet in your printer & microwave, everything has ads & AI now and every update is worst than the last. I literally loved technology and they ruined it

thinking about eva stratt crafting a coffin for her friends. the very best coffin, full of every piece of pirated media the entire world has to offer. crafted for maximum comfort, this coffin, with every bit of authority available to her, which is all of it.
and then thinking about all the people who call her cold or uncaring or clinical about what she has to do to save earth. eva stratt, who had silly t-shirts and vodka and favorite meals stored in the Hail Mary and treated with the same level of importance as the finely tuned equipment and the centrifuge the entire planet relies on for salvation.
and then thinking about eva stratt nodding and saying, āyeah, Iām pretty awful. thatās why iām in chargeā with a neutral expression and even believing it. as if crafting the most beautiful coffin and homage to her soon-to-be dead friends wonāt haunt her always.
thinking about eva stratt being the first person on the āeva stratt is a monsterā train, welcoming ryland grace aboard and knowing she believed in him more than anyone else.
itās fine, really itās fine and normal and eva stratt makes beautiful coffins for the people and things she cares about.
The New Jersey Republican said in a House floor speech that he had a long-term hospital stay for depression on advice from doctors and he fe
Rep. Tom Kean, R-N.J., made his return to the Capitol on Tuesday, saying he was treated for depression during a nearly four-month disappearance from the public eye.
It was Keanās first time in the House of Representatives since March 5, having missed more than 140 votes in the chamber since then.
āSeveral months ago, due to health concerns, I entered the hospital for some testing. I did not believe that this would result in a long-term stay. I was given the diagnosis of depression,ā Kean said in a speech on the House floor.
How nice that he 1) kept his job and 2) received full pay and health insurance while he 3) used his excellent health insurance covering his medical care including mental health care.
But of course he has voted numerous times at the state and federal level against workplace protections for sick employees and healthcare for uninsured people including children.
And probably will again.
So.
Vote Democrat every single time.
The lawmaker spent nearly two decades voting against paid leave.
Today, U.S. House Republican Tom Kean Jr. (NJ-07) flipped to vote with Democrats on the Affordable Care Act extension āā¦

Frank Langdon + āLearn From The Bestā series:Ā IV
Present to Dr. Langdon: Shepherd Of Med Students
THE PITTĀ 1x02-1x03
So the name of the game with this one is me fixating on McKay specifically telling Javadi to present to Langdon specifically, and then exploring the Why of that which is where the other elements come in/that is the road they all tie back to. All roads lead to 'present to Dr. Langdon' and that is because: Langdon is the (self?)-appointed Med student/junior resident wrangler in The Pitt.
Okay listen I'm about to be SO annoying about this set (by which I mean: I'm about to make a bunch of commentary based on my own #RelevantPersonalExperience lol) But I have actually done more shadowing/observing than the average bear in my time (both as a Youth - I think I started around 13/14? (veterinary medicine is HELLA competitive and they want you to have as much experience as possible so you know what you're getting into) and into my adult years when I pursued a teaching degree and they make you: go shadow actual teachers to learn about teaching) so I got #OPINIONS about this shit.
So whis may seem a lil disjointed/random-is: you must trust me and my Vision - t'will all come together/make sense in a moment as I explain. There's a lot of things to love about this little series, I promise:
1)- Cassie telling Javadi to present specifically to Langdon is:
This is #significant, or at least it is in my experience - if everyone is kinda eeksy-peeksy on the mentoring/being shadowed front, you don't bother specifying, you just get told to go jump in with whoever or go explain to whoever. Javadi has options for Langdon, Collins, and arguably probably Mohan, too (bc I'm sure an R3 can handle a fairly basic asthma case) but Cassie says: present to Langdon because he is, in Cassie's opinion (and in mine hence: this entire series lmfao) the best teacher/mentor figure and likely the person Cassie herself would be most comfortable/likely to present to/he's her go-to.
2)- Perlah calling Langdon up and not only asking him where he's at (so Javadi could go to him/go find him potentially) but asking him to come to Central bc there's a med student looking for him (and the fact Langdon heads right on over):
So there tends to be a sliding scale of people and their willingness to shadow/mentor.
At the very bottom of this are the (fortunately relatively few) who act as if you are: the biggest bane of their existence and will actively radiate contempt/annoyance while you dare to exist in their presence.
Then you get those who act like you're part of the wall/a particularly uninteresting coatrack and allow you to be there as long as you do not make yourself known.
Then there are those who are neutral, they just kinda vibe and you vibe and occasionally they'll mention a thing/give the occasional instruction. Then we get the people who are happy enough to give this a go, kinda explain some things to you/talk to you after consultations a bit.
Then there are the rare precious few who are obviously: actively pleased you're there and want to teach/guide/encourage your love for the thing they love and share with you.
Langdon falls into this last category. And this is obvious from watching him/the rest of the series (that man very obviously loves his job AND he loves learning - and this translates to him: loving teaching, because he wants to share both of those things with his acquired ducklings) but it's also obvious to me from this little beat with Perlah.
The fact that she knows Langdon well enough to know that if she calls him up and let's him know there's a med student looking for him he will be: right there for 'em. And this is not a given, btw. (PTMC IS a teaching hospital, so my categories of 'willing to mentor' are a bit higher on the sliding scale bc it's an expectation of the environment, but even so) I've worked with people who would not deign to come and see little old peasant student me if they were on fire and I was a hose.
3)- I like that, before Javadi appears - you see Langdon checking boards. He looks for her patient/is making himself aware of the situation. Because he hasn't seen/spoken to Javadi yet when he asks after her 'asthma guy', and Perlah didn't tell him any specifics when she called him, just said she was looking for him. But Langdon makes the effort to see what's what and that means that when she approaches him HE initiates/asks her what's going on with asthma guy - so she doesn't have to fumble around for an opener/presentation, she can just confidently explain the treatment/response because she knows Langdon is aware of the situation.
And on a more personal level: I had THE WORST social anxiety when I was younger and this - having the person I was 'bothering' be the one to initiate/not making me start this conversation would've felt like the world's greatest gift. And Javadi is not: me, but regardless, first day in a new environment with new people, esp as a relatively young med student who probably hasn't done a million rotations yet, just having this as someone who sets the stage/opens things up for you does SO much in terms of making that person feel like someone you can trust/who will be there for you and that you can go to with cases and problems.
4)- This is reinforced/added to by the fact that he doesn't just ask her about the patient she came to present to him and then shoo her off to go take care of that/okay I have done the thing, now go away - he makes the point to ask her how things are going out in Chairs/keeps engaging and chatting with her - as well as giving her an opportunity/a possible memory prompt to ask any other questions she might have.
Whiiiiich takes us into;
5)- Javadi DOES decide that Langdon is #Approachable/someone she can ask things of. I love the little side-eye/glance Javadi gives Langdon as she #assesses him and decides if he's someone she can broach this with/if it's safe to try fishing for info from him and she concludes that: yes, yes he is.
(Unfortunately for her: Frank does not do the gossip/is evidently blanking on what she's after (Javadi: what can u tell me abt cassie's dark and mysterious past that may give me clues as to why she's got an ankle monitor. Frank: Cassie's...past? U mean, like, what she did for school?? Javadi:....... REGARDLESS! Frank: teaching 10/10. Gossip source: 0/10)
And this concludes today's: thoughts on Langdon being a good mentor/a GIFT to every med student/junior resident who's past through the Pitt and has had him step up and take an active interest in their education.
