funniest bit of lockwood and co. (a show where everyone has swords and fights only with swords) is when lockwood is confronted with an enemy and says ‘i’ve already fought 8 thugs and a psychopath, one more fight won’t kill me’ and pulls out his sword only for the enemy to pull out a gun and shoot him

better yet, we should pull a Charlotte Perkins Gilman and send our doctors a novella about how badly they fucked up with the diagnosis

This maybe sounds mean, but I think we should be able to send doctors “hey, you were wrong” letters.

I was misdiagnosed with asthma when I was 12 and took asthma meds daily for seven years, and then it turned out I hadn’t had asthma in the first place; I actually have a different breathing problem. I don’t think the doctor who told me I had asthma (my pediatrician, who I was no longer seeing by that point) ever found out she’d been wrong. (This is one of at least four misdiagnoses in my life, from a variety of doctors, that I can think of off the top of my head.) Similarly, my first therapist told me she didn’t think I was autistic because I wasn’t obsessed with trains. I don’t think she ever found out that I am, in fact, autistic, because I wasn’t seeing her by the time I was diagnosed.

I get that it might be demoralizing to have someone contact you specifically to tell you that you messed up, but I think it would be useful for doctors to have data on how often they misdiagnose patients, especially since some doctors tend to think the patient is generally wrong when attempting self-diagnosis. It would be useful for my former therapist to move me from the mental column of “people who erroneously think they’re autistic” to “people whose autism I did not notice when they were right in front of me.” It would be useful for my pediatrician to realize she needed to look more closely and listen to kids when their breathing symptoms weren’t the classic asthma ones.

Doctors can get on their high horse and refuse to believe patients a lot of the time, and the power dynamic makes that dangerous in plenty of situations. I think it would be helpful to have a way to at least alert doctors when we have proof they messed up.

I love it that Duchess has a total number of three people she kind of likes:

A young refugee who is known for apparently wanting to decapitate people

A girl who happily joined forces with an imperialist dictator known for committing crimes against humanity

The most harmless but extremely obnoxious boy in her school.

it’s ‘Bo Burnham’s Inside and White Performative Art’ by F. D Signifier on youtube

but the problem is, i kept seeing people talk about racism all wrong. i kept hearing white people say stuff like, ‘we need to stop racism. racism is EVIL.’ [pause] i hate to tell you this, and like, please understand me: racism isn’t evil. because evil isn’t real, and racism very much is. see, when white people describe racism as being evil, they mythologise it. by calling racism evil, white people either knowingly or unknowingly create distance from themselves and the system of white supremacy that makes racism and all it’s permutations possible.

in 2020, americans were really behind the idea of [in quotation marks] “getting rid of all the racist people.” but the real problem isn’t racist people, it’s a racist system. and as long as we have a racist system, there will always be racist people.
