Repose en paix, dear Marjane Satrapi (1969-2026).

Kojiro Kumagai

It's why she was so kind to the woman whose kid locked himself in the hot car. She understands what a life can look like for someone with brain damage, in the kid's case from a high fever and dehydration, but she also understands how much that irreversible damage to the brain isn't a stop-all/end-all. She's a DOCTOR with a brain injury. She finished med school and survived a terrorist attack on a hospital during her time in Kabul. She speaks several languages, all while modestly claiming she only speaks "enough to get by". She's a mother, who herself understands the fear that one detrimental mistake on her part, as life is as a parent, can cause her kid to get hurt.

It also explains her interest in AI and "speeding up" the E.R. with timely charting. The smoother the E.R. runs with patient portals, the less likely someone is to make a mistake on their charts, and for her especially, the less likely it is for the E.R. to go up in flames while she has an absence seizure.

This is also why she's insistent on proof-reading, even while using AI transcriptions, because if Al-Hashimi is anything, it's thorough.

She's a doctor who is always trying to get back more time, to reclaim the crucial moments she's afraid of losing or missing because of symptoms out of her control.

She wishes she could spend more time with her son. She wants every patient to be able to advocate for themselves and the long wait times for tests. She wants Robby to get off her back so she doesn't lose everything if a seizure inevitably comes while at work.

WHY, specifically, is it black peoples' facial expressions that are seen as just so comical or exaggerated? analyze the history of this nation's comedy and tell me why you might be predisposed to thinking of black peoples' faces as just, "more emotive" or exaggeratedly funny than a white or nonblack person's

and throughout those years, 00s-10s, many black bloggers -- victims of the mass staff-led purge (under the cover of them being 'russian' while reichblr still exists) -- they DID tell us it was a problem, DID try to educate people who freak out at the insinuation of 'being racist,' DID argue, DID point out the duplicity and the appropriation and the gross equivalence of african american slang with unintelligence, goofiness, etc. and they were ignored, abused, cancelled, chased off, until being eventually mass deleted by our racist transmisogynistic staff.

we didn't do enough, and the generation after us gen z "kids" didn't stop the trend. using the '-ahh' suffix. rizz. no cap. ate. delulu. it's giving. it's serving. crash out. lock in. aura. tea. main character. bruh. slay. real. keep it 100.
