I saw the post about Catholic hospitals I reblogged yesterday again and glanced at the notes (…yeah…yikes) and because this is a special interest of mine and a particular pet peeve—

No, people cannot just “choose” in most cases to go to a non-Catholic hospital (or other healthcare facility). Four of the 10 largest U.S. healthcare systems are Catholic systems. Something like 1 in every 6 hospital beds nationwide is in a Catholic hospital and in some states, more than 40% of the hospital beds are in Catholic hospitals.

And, because of mergers between Catholic hospitals and non-Catholic hospitals, people may not even be aware that they are in a Catholic facility governed by the Ethical and Religious Directives (ERDs), which, BY THE WAY, outright prohibit or otherwise seriously curtail the provision of a LOT of different health services (not limited to abortion specifically or even reproductive healthcare more broadly). But even if the ERDs were limited to prohibiting abortion (although again I feel compelled to point out that the ERDs consider things like regular miscarriage management to be abortion), that shouldn’t matter? If you are in the business of providing healthcare, and especially if you receive incredible amounts of federal funding out of taxpayer dollars to do so, you should not be allowed to refuse to provide normal healthcare to patients (many of whom are not Catholic) because you are following the whims of the USCCB, which, last I checked, was not composed of medical doctors or other medical experts and is not qualified to tell large swaths of non-Catholic medical professionals how to practice medicine to meet their own professional obligations for standard-of-care treatment.

I don't tend to post other people's work on this blog, but this calls for an exception,,, if you're a fan of analog horror, religious horror or small town horror, PLEASE check out St Mary Chapel on YouTube. It's been absolutely sending my brain through the ringer with even 5 episodes and like 4 community posts and I need people to watch it so when/if I break and make a two hour long iceberg video it makes sense to at least a handful of people.

Say what you want about SNW but I REALLY loved the way in the episode where Pike sees the future where Jim is not the captain of the Enterprise lil glimpses we get of him having just insane professional chemistry with Spock.

Like across realities and in different universes, Kirk sees Spock across the room through a video transmission and calls him impressive. It's like a jolt, bullseye, and laser focus towards eachother before they even meet in person.

They instantly agree and see eachother's point of view. There's SPARKS. I genuinely felt watching this as if they were the only people in the room (and I feel like the camera work in that conference room helped with that - purposely).

Not to mention Jim's full body turn he does when he watches Spock leave, which to me definitely betrayed some kind of interest on Jim's part.

I get being mad at comphet Spock, (though TOS did comphet Spock also so 🤷) and I think if snw went in a slightly different direction with Chapel they could do something interesting and canon-compliant, which is a shame.

But after finishing the 1st season I really do feel the show only gets better (when they lay off the one liners a bit and focus more on the honestly pretty cool episode ideas they have), and it looks like it's done with love, attention to details and understanding, overall, what star trek is. (Which I can't say about some other star trek media cough cough).

But most importantly, at least for the sake of this post and for the sake of the ship that started modern fandom culture, I feel like they understand the gravity of K/S.

Now, I'm not deluding myself that they're going to 'get together' within SNW, if it's to keep with the tos timeline even in the slightest. And as much as I enjoy the show, it doesn't seem likely for it to be breaking any new grounds. Besides, at this point in time it would make no sense, considering there's no space for them to be together in TOS until season three at best. Any alternatives would either be either out of character, or simply upsetting (such as an on and off relationship, a breakup, things I don't want to think about 😞)

HOWEVER. They already made a hint Chapel is bisexual, and while they do try to generally keep with TOS canon - they diverge from it only when they think they are the point A from which they can get to point B, which is TOS. I don't always agree with their vision, but I can respect it. So I wouldn't be that surprised (though ecstatic) if they hinted at at least at Kirk being bisexual, here and there.

And in TOS canon Spirk is inescapable. If we ignore the romantic interpretation, which is already pretty hard to ignore, then in their capacity as soulmates - a part of canon that's impossible to ignore. And with as little Jim and Spock as we got so far, I think they understand that.

In SNW keeping Kirk and Spock apart messed up the whole timeline! You could say that Spock dying is what really messed it up, but we can clearly see the episode we've seen in TOS from a different perspective and things went south the moment Chris started to act. Both Kirk and Spock are there - both the same as in the regular timeline, in their respective duties. But they're not together and them not being together is so bad for the universe that Chris has to go back in time to tell himself to die (well not die but suffer from a horrific accident).

And if it doesn't feel extremely monumental, soulmate level shit idk what to tell you
