@emilykmay Incredible

@emilykmay Do I believe this is because they are also disconnected from emotions within themselves (they are suffering)? Yes. Does this negate the harm they do to women from this place? No. Is it incredibly annoying and noxious to hold all of this up as the Ideal Family Unit? Yes again.

@emilykmay (“reason” as in sufficient masculine repression + denial, which patriarchal Christian god exalts)

@moorehn Incredible anthropological data point. “I am oppressed by the fact that you exist, yet you have not had sex with me”

@morninggloria i’m taking personal responsibility for saying “fuck you scott”

@butchanarchy direct and clarifying questions are SO helpful ❤️ as an ADHDer who does not always pick up on social cues, i deeply appreciate when my autistic friends clarify the unspoken dynamics at play in social interactions. allistics really show their ass by shaming sincerity & curiosity

@DrBryanLeyva ww literally think it’s funny that their social positionality makes it less likely for them to encounter police violence. if that’s not a damning indictment of pathological callousness/lack of self-awareness & empathy, i don’t know what is

@ArabelleRaphael what’s wild to me is the lack of transparency in so many cishet relationships. like why aren’t we having open & honest convos about sexuality w our intimate partners? patriarchal capitalism (/a simultaneously sex-obsessed & sex-neg, anti-SWer) culture is fuckin everyone up

@bjabermd @SFabaraMD overemphasizing quantitative assessment does not produce better (non-abusive/empathetic) clinicians, it reinforces a false hierarchy where MD students who score highly feel auto-qualified for ppl-centered care, & students whose intelligence isn’t captured by STEP feel inadequate

@sarahislam_MD why do we live in a world where ppl respond to this tweet w impassioned pleas that landlord lives matter

[teresa @treesauced]

@LydiaLivas @jbcarmody i also have a hard time imagining this grueling, inhuman standard for performance doesn’t negatively impact patient care. if you are held to an inhuman standard, it is not unlikely that you would project the same expectations onto others’ “bootstraps” health behaviors

[teresa @treesauced]

@LydiaLivas @jbcarmody this! i’m not in the medical field but i’ve observed this faux institutional self-awareness in my MD friends’ professional trajectory. the lip service institutions pay to student/resident well-being is offensive, & should be called out as a risk factor for mental health crises

@ReEphemeral @woodyholtonusc how obsessed w self-victimization must white ppl be to interpret the story of a 6 year old Black girl facing death threats for daring to attend school as an attack on *them*? many white parents at Ruby Bridges’ school pulled their kids out in 1960, it’s more of the same in 2021

@butchanarchy when the biden admin says there’s no federal solution, they mean they won’t leverage stolen resources to sustain the health & well-being of the governed population. when i say there’s no fed solution, i mean the existence of the state undermines networks of collective care

[teresa @treesauced]

@NopeNo0ne “you tell me” is such a poignant response to this question. many abusers take offense at being seen for what they are, but refusing to perceive your behavior as abusive doesn’t mean it’s not, in the same way that covering your eyes doesn’t make you invisible 🐷

@MarisaKabas the cdc is just… handing out epidemiological degrees to everyone & saying “you can decide how you feel about the potential for infecting others w a highly transmissible virus that can damage your brain, heart, & lungs w unknown rehabilitative prognosis, you have our blessing ❤️”
