Deleting my dating apps because I want to meet someone the old fashioned way; fighting on opposing sides of a Holy war, discovering we're both immortal after killing each other repeatedly, and eventually becoming lovers for over 900 years.

Star Trek is crazy youβll look away for two seconds and then Kirk is suddenly shirtless in a harness and a shock collar
Henderson and Shen can never fuck because the combined chill factor would usher in a new ice age.
Iβm not going to defend Robbyβs behavior towards Samira because it was wrong and cruel and deeply, deeply unprofessional. But I also find the reactions to it incredibly ironic. The Pitt is at its core about extreme burnout in the healthcare field, particularly amongst emergency medicine personnel, and how that ripples out and affects absolutely everyone around themβtheir colleagues, their relationships, the entire community. Over and over again, the Pitt asks of its audience: even in the face of extreme and sometimes unforgivable behavior, can you find the same empathy that is constantly and endlessly demanded of our healthcare providers? And for so many it seems like the answer to that question is a definitive, categorical no. Which funnily enough, is exactly the point the show is trying to make.
funnily enough, I've reached that point in E.R. where Mark Greene loses his mojo too (after he was assaulted in the bathroom).
And of course there's the fall of Andrea Fanti in that flashback episode of DOC S3.
And to me, there's nothing more heartbreaking than seeing a truly kind and empathic person - in all cases here, doctors, who've made it their *jobs* in life to help others - breaking and losing that spark.
If you ever meet someone like this in RL, someone who you know is usually kind but for some reason is failing at it today, cut them some slack. Even better, try in turn to reach out. They're going through some sh*t.
As someone who worked in hospitals, including emergency departments, for years, I think it can be very hard for people outside that world to grasp what it actually does to you. You are dealing, over and over, with people having the worst day of their lives. But you are not allowed to have the worst day of your life in response, because you have to come back and do it all again tomorrow, and the day after that, and the night after that, for another 12 hours or more, with no real end in sight.
At a certain point, some degree of emotional shutdown is not cruelty so much as survival. Burnout is recognised by exhaustion and cynicism or psychological distancing from work, and trauma-related stress can involve feeling detached or emotionally numb. In other words, losing easy access to empathy is not some bizarre moral failure. It is often a sign that a person has been carrying too much, for too long.
Iβve seen people say that The Pitt is unrealistic because it piles everything healthcare can throw at someone into one day. But sometimes that is what the job is. There were shifts where I saw so many awful things that I learned very quickly not to describe them casually to people outside healthcare, because you would see the horror on their faces immediately. And the truly brutal part is that those were not once-in-a-career nightmare days. I can think of dozens of them. Then you go home, sleep if you can, and come back to do it again.
So yes, when a usually kind and empathetic person starts failing to access that part of themselves, sometimes what you are seeing is not who they βreally areβ at last. Sometimes you are watching someone run out of skin. And I think The Pitt understands that better than a lot of viewers do.

That elderly couple who volunteers at the soup kitchen after church on Sundays and attends every town hall meeting has done more community direct action than 99% of internet leftists π€·π½ββοΈ
#lol this post is stupid spup kitchens were created by the gov after they literally destroyed black radical organizers lives#and since when does going to a town hall meeting and working within the system help anybody in any significant way
100% agree homeless people should just starve and dumpster dive till le epic revolution happens!
and for sure local politics is so stupid it only handles dumb things like your schoolboard, judges, infrastructure, and rent laws! now tweets? Thats where the real work happens!Β
Local activism stopped garbage collection from being privatized in my hometown and local activism is what defunds the police and keeps libraries and community gardens open and gets done most of the things people waiting around for a revolution claim they want. The weird former hippie suburban wine moms donating bags of quinoa chips and money to the food pantry I go to sometimes have done more for me materially then any defeatist political rant on tumblr ever has.
#local politics#so many people saying local elections wonβt do anything for police brutality#when a lot of places in the US elect their sherrif!#and judges!#and all the other people in charge of the police!#but no Iβm just a filthy moderate for suggesting we use EVERY tool at our disposal to improve the state of thingsΒ (tags via @sofiadragon)
My spouse goes to every single school meeting they host, and often is the only person to show up. When the school was debating putting The Ten Commandments in every school room, they held a meeting about it. Guess who was the only parent to be at that meeting? Guess who voted βnoβ? Guess what the school released as a memo after the meeting? (βDue to popular vote we will not be hanging religious writings in our school rooms.β) And this is just the only time I can prove his vote was the deciding factor in policy change, I know heβs probably swayed more changes (or prevented changes), like taking books from the library or imposing collective punishments on students or letting cops run around inside the building. Because he always shows up.
Go to your local meetings. Vote in the small elections. You will see direct, real change in your world.

I'm sorry I'll never be able to get over "I thought I would be married with two kids in college by now. Maybe have some property with a pond. We can play hockey on it in the wintertime. And yet, look at me now. No wife, no kids, no pond."

[Video description: Gritty is turning the crank on a flagpole to raise the Progress Pride Flag. He gesticulates angrily that the flag is not blowing in the wind, then gestures offscreen. The flag begins blowing. As Gritty begins raising the flag more, the camera pans out to show a man in a suit and sunglasses, looking like a stern Secret Service agent, is holding a leafblower that points at the flag. End description.]
