"jesus was actually a radical Palestinian activist of colour" stop trying to sell Christianity by slapping a progressive coat of paint on it. it's still preaching even if you don't recognise that and think you're just trying to fight back against conservatives or whatever. I promise you ~global christendom~ would not be fucking redeemed if everyone just learned the *true* meaning of his message (but for real this time)

every other southerner/appalachian is screaming this at the top of their lungs too but im begging folk to stop losing their humanity when this region suffers. all alleged empathy blue state folk have is flown out the window when we're freezing or flooding to death. is it so hard to remember we're all human? so hard to process the nuance that good folk exist in a place you think is bad, and even the folk you think are bad dont deserve to die from the malicious apathy of their manipulative politicians? so hard to get that the death of human beings you'll never know the names of shouldn't be celebrated just because you assume they voted red? we are all people. i dont understand how you can be so cruel.

i think a lot of shows that are based on 911 services (the 🏥👮🏻‍♂️🚁💪👩‍🚒🚑🔦💥⚖️ genre) show different workers having camaraderie w and unconditional support for the cops, like yeaaa everyone on the frontlines respects the boys in blue and knows society would be in the gutter without them 💯

and the pitt is just like. well tbr the cops and social services are in and out of the ER a lot, and there’s basic cordiality and cooperation and 1 instance of flirting. but that MCI hits and the cops are 1 (one) guy who got shot and 10 performative idiots who are literally standing IN THE WAY, stressing out and slowing down the doctors, who are the only ones actually HELPING, and then they somewhat understandably tackle the wrong guy as a suspected shooter, and then they try to ARREST one of the doctors who just saved 20 lives bc she broke parole conditions to do so…. unfeeling enforcers of a purely punitive criminal system… and THEN they only back down when another COP is like “well she did save our boy. in particular. she saved a cop.” and they’re like WELL IN THAT CASE

there’s no liberal monologue or lesson abt defunding the police and funding kiara instead and there probably won’t be on this show. but the pitt casually displays 9/10 cops as useless macho assholes who fuck with more important emergency workers whenever they feel like it. hilarious and real

THE PITT (2025- )

shocked i haven't seen more postings about Hurricane Helene—there has been apocalyptic level flooding happening throughout huge areas of the southeastern USA. Roads providing the only access to remote areas have been totally obliterated.

My moms facebook groups from the western NC area where her family is from are overrun with posts of people pleading for information about their loved ones

it is my solemn duty to join fandoms and be insane and obsessed about platonic relationships. it’s a critical ecological niche and i am happy to occupy it and draw others in like an angler fish who writes intense and wrenching gen fic.

this weird apathy non-southerns have for the south during moments of catastrophe and natural disaster is so odd. Basic empathy for human beings expands to the south btw
