so much of why trinity is the way she is is because she grew up a gymnast. specifically, because she grew up a gymnast prior to safe sport.

at its core: gymnastics culture is the embodiment of achieving an impossible standard of perfection. it gives you an incredible work ethic but more often than not (especially in the 90s-early 2010s) is so damaging.

it means trinity grew up with 8am saturday practices, having to wake up at 5:30am for all-day competitions every other week, 4 hour long practices after eight hours of school, and then staying up all night to finish homework before doing it all over again the next morning

it also means being in an environment where if one kid gets caught cheating on conditioning - the entire team is punished for it with more reps

essentially throughout trinity’s entire childhood — she was held to a higher standard of discipline and responsibility than most of the adults in her life are now

so of course she thinks langdon needs to repent by telling everyone what he did. because gymnastics culture teaches you that the failure of one person is meant to be seen by the collective.

beyond this, so much of pre-safe sport gymnastics was about force. it was having your coach sit on your back to push you into a middle split, or press on your shoulders to force an over split. it was being made to train & compete on injuries, regardless of how much pain the athlete is in, because winning is more important than recovery

naturally, this is going to stunt trinity’s capacity for empathy. how would she know how to care that langdon is struggling with addiction, or coping with chronic pain, when she was doing high-intensity work outs every day for 10+ years on sprained ankles, pulled muscles, and possibly even broken bones?

if she was expected to suck it up and push through at twelve, then in her eyes — he can do that with his back pain at 35. especially because trinity is most likely dealing with chronic pain too, she is just ignoring it

beyond this — competitive gymnastics makes you so hyper aware your body. many gyms don’t allow their gymnasts to wear shorts over their leotards during meet season to prepare them for competition, so every day for 4+ hours — trinity would be wearing nothing but a skin tight bodysuit. meanwhile, she’d be surrounded by other girls with bodies she believed were better than hers, while hearing constant comments like “i can see your lunch” , “tuck in your belly” and so on

all of this ties into the perfection element — as aesthetics are crucial in gymnastics. there are so many rules about competition looks to the extent where deductions are written into the code of points regarding misplaced hairs, a visible bra strap, or visible underwear line

every single element of gymnastics is calculated and that obsession with control & perfection doesn’t leave just because you’ve retired

so of course as an adult, trinity is obsessed with being the best. of course she’s she using over confidence to mask her insecurity. if she lets it slip that she isn’t actually as good as she wants to seem — she’s vulnerable for attack

and if there is one thing that gymnastics has taught trinity, it is that if she wants to protect herself as an adult — she always has to be on the offense.

however, going into how the foundation of competitive gymnastics in trinity’s era was fully built on systemic abuse & how that impacts her characterization now, would have to be a whole other post.

Yet another new study debunked the basis for the anti-trans sports bans. It was never about sports but for creating legal avenues for exclusion and abjection. This is one of the largest analyses ever conducted, involving 52 studies and 6,485 trans people. Read the study here.

It looks like they’re dropping a teaser trailer for the new Harry Potter reboot tomorrow

Just a few important and gentle reminders:

🫶🏻 DO NOT WATCH THIS FUCKING SHOW 🫶🏻

If you claim you support human rights - not just trans rights but human rights in general - yet still plan to watch this show, unfollow me. You’re a fucking hypocrite and I don’t want you following me.

Do not watch it even if you’re hate watching it, it still contributes to streaming revenue and views!

The adults in this reboot of the franchise are FULLY accountable for choosing to do this show and accepting a pay cheque over supporting a minority group. Even if they claim they support trans rights, they’re cowards and don’t actually support them at all.

The kids do NOT deserve abuse or hate, whether it’s because you’re comparing them to Dan/Rupert/Emma or because you’re boycotting due to the author’s views. They are literal CHILDREN.

Your nostalgia over a children’s series about kids going to school is NOT more important than trans people being respected and having rights. As long as JKR is still alive, she profits off of this.

oh my emma. what if it's your first day after nursing school and you're terrified. the woman showing you around is rough around the edges and makes you wonder if that will be you at some point. you see your first death but you feel like you can't cry or process it because it's not your patient. you help clean him but it's the first time you're doing this. it's terrifying, dana acts like it's no big deal. but death still feels like the biggest deal ever. you hear how many people quit nursing after covid and see the damage that the system did in the woman in front of you. she walks out when you ask her. a guy grabs your arm, but dana gets you out. how many times has she been grabbed? you help a rape victim and do your best not to cry. is every shift like this? how do people do this? everything is suddenly offline, but you find the son of a man that just got hurt. finally, a win. dana is getting more stressed, but you have figured her out by now. your confidence is rising. so you help a patient by yourself, and instead of accepting help he grabs you and starts choking you with his arm. you just got here, you don't know how to diffuse a situation yet. the door is closed. you will be severely hurt after this. it's your first day, you tried so hard. what if this is your last day?

Girls of the Pitt, be ready for chaos

[skyscrapersanddandelions]

kids of color, you’re allowed to get a bitey when a white friend does something racist. literally 0 percent of people of color are obligated to be nice and palatable for white people. holding your tongue in the name of kindness doesn’t really do much in regards to stuff like this because white people are going to see you calling out their own racism as unkind anyways. white people, if a person of color comes off as aggressive while calling you out for racism, just fucking listen to them. they’re not coming from nowhere, and believe it or not: they know more about racism than you do! shocker, i know. just thickskin it, because it’s really not about you.

Tachycardia 🩺❤️

[tubenlube]

hello the pitt enjoyers, 4th year med student who just finished interviewing emergency medicine (EM) here to offer up some real-life scenarios for ur viewing and shipping pleasure, feel free to insert whoever:

sometimes when you do compressions, your lanyard is bouncing all over the place and someone will come behind you and drag it around your neck so it isn't in the way #intimate

similarly, if you are doing a sterile procedure and scrubbed in and your phone goes off, sometimes you'll have someone else reach into your back pocket to check your phone. first of all, a little butt grab never hurt anybody, and second of all, this is ripe with juicy material for seeing texts (for example finding out your attending had a sexy hookup the night before OOP who said that that def not a real scenario that happened)

i cannot emphasize ENOUGH how much of a party specialty EM is lmao. all the residents know exactly which restaurants serve alcohol at 8 am bc they need cocktails post night-shift. some residents have a literal frat house that they all hang out at on the random days of the week they get off and there's a basement where sometimes you'll find a random resident sleeping bc they were too drunk to go home and had a 7 am shift the next morning (whitaker-coded)

also: energy drinks all day everyday, especially celsius. trinity santos would absolutely be shotgunning these pre-shift

speaking of partying: emergency medicine regularly has resident retreats which get WILD and messy (as in i have overheard residents talking about doing lsd together, hooking up with each other, going into labor??)

and more partying: attendings will pretty regularly host sleepovers, journal clubs, dinners, parties etc at their homes bc they are rich lmao. not something i see dr. robby doing but perhaps some night shift people

residents really are that close which is sweet. i've had residents ask for my feedback on hinge profiles and scroll through their messages with matches with me (looking at u santos and whitaker)

so many tattoos and piercings on everyone

intern tuesdays! most EM residencies have dedicated educational conferences every week on wednesday mornings (i think - perhaps this is revealing about where in the coutnry i am lmao) so everyone gets the night before off and goes to like happy hours or sleeps over at people's apartment and stays out late

oh and speaking of wednesday conferences - sometimes they do fun little excursions like to the zoo to learn about snake bites lmao or to the beach where everyone's in swimsuits and they'll do a water rescue and drag a body out of the water and forget to warn all the beachgoers that this was a simulation lmfao, ripe with material for a comedy of errors type pitt situation

also perhaps revealing a bit about where i am again but a) EM is an incrediblyyyyy gay specialty i was SHOOK once i started talking to residents and faculty there is not a straight bone in that department b) in my experience on the interview trail lots of rural queer people are lowkey trying to come to this more urban location to train and be around gay people (coughWHITAKERcough)

residents frequently let med students (or honestly even newbie interns) practice IVs on them. plenty of time for yearning touches

when a resident offers to wipe down your computer station and keyboard with a sterile wipe and has to reach over your body to do so 🥵

residents will take drugs from the over-the-counter cart and self-medicate such as one resident i knew who (incorrectly) took antibiotics for some illness and gave herself c. diff (@ whitaker)

post night shift brunch! found family!

EMTs are consistently so hot. im sorry i said it. i dont think we know any EMTs yet in the pitt but i am Waiting

oh more yearning physical intimacy: when u have a trauma patient, you have to "log roll" the patient to inspect every inch and make sure you haven't missed anything. that entails crossing your arms over a fellow nurse/attending/resident whoever while you roll the patient and leaves plenty of room for some arm rubbing hehe

anyway this is just a start, feel free to adapt and go ham <3

by the way guys, this deployment of ice to minnesota is largest ever. more agents than chicago. we are a much less dense state. we are being inundated.

[yamelcakes]

It is the largest Department of Homeland Security operation in history. And yet Minnesota’s Somali population (this operation’s primary target) is upwards of 90% naturalized American citizens. It’s even more of a manufactured crisis than most DHS operations. Genuinely living in Minnesota now feels like we’re a small country on the brink of invasion.

[grison-in-space]

I saw two ICE trucks yesterday on my way to give my friends back their house keys from when I was looking after their cats. I got home today and I heard whistles and honking from people chasing ICE, but by the time I got Matilda in the house they were gone so I couldn't join in the chase. I know there was a major attempt to steal my neighbors from just a few blocks away this morning while I was at work.

It doesn't feel like we're on the brink of invasion. It feels like we're being newly occupied by an invading force. Except that the invading force doesn't just want our total submission; they also want to rip half our neighbors out of our arms. They came for Hmong Minnesotans next, and they are also more than 90% citizens. We have a lot of minority populations who settled here because Minnesota prides itself on welcoming refugees; both populations have been here for more than thirty years.

Fuck this shit. It is terrorism.

[fox-bright]

Not just feels like, is. Feels like because is.

And for all the rest of us US occupants not in Minnesota, it's coming to us, too. Ohio is getting door-to-door ICE today, for instance, and I've seen multiple friends in other states posting photos of big ol' trucks, beds packed with ICE vehicles, rolling in to town.

We're still not quite two weeks into 2026. Get ready to plant your feet.

[sayeverythingwillbefineplease]

You guys know this reads like Anne Frank's fucking diary right? How the FUCK are you guys not in full blown rebellion already is beyond my comprehension.

— dearly, someone outside of US of hell.

[grison-in-space]

We are in full blown rebellion, you ass. The goal here from the administration is to provoke us into violence so they can use the full weight of the military to make examples of us, probably by attempting to raze the city to the ground. We are civilians trying to resist using the laws that still exist to protect ourselves and save as many people as we can.

What the fuck else do you want us to do? Play right into Trump's hands? Fuck the hell off with your judgement if you aren't on the ground here. Go put some pressure on your own foreign dignitaries to pressure our government if you're feeling horrified, that might actually be of some use.

[kawuli]

imagine looking at Minnesota, where a woman was shot less than a week ago and still people are coming out every time they see ICE, organizing neighborhood Signal groups, protesting every single day, where there are more ICE agents than cops, where the cops are not on our side either; Minneapolis, where George Floyd was killed 5 years ago, where a city council member who lost an eye to less lethal munitions in 2020 showed up to the site of the shooting last week to demand accountability, where the local immigrant rights groups have had to tell people to STOP calling in ICE sightings because they're overwhelmed, where ICE agents in SUVs are ramming cars in busy intersections, and saying "why aren't you doing more?"

we know this reads like Anne Frank's fucking diary. we know our neighbors are getting kidnapped and killed.

do you think a shooting war would be BETTER?

[cwicseolfor]

Also, if you’re watching news coverage, no matter where you are, and wondering why “nobody’s doing anything,” consider why you were given that impression and by whom.

When you’re told “half of the US voted for this,” but the number of votes for it was only 22% of the American population, ask which Americans are legally entitled to vote, and which ones are disenfranchised legally or by voter suppression. (And, because it still matters, approval which started at 22% by the votes has been dropping basically since inauguration; even the people in the cult aren’t happy.)

The numbers on opposition of this regime inside the US are staggeringly similar to the global numbers who believe we need to act urgently on climate warming, and the stakes there are unambiguous, but as we all know politics tend to entrench and don’t generally actually represent the will of the people in anything like real time - in part because powers who profit from a lack of action can spend a lot of money making a majority opinion look fringe, because they’ve spent decades buying up newspapers, radio, television, and social media.

[crazy-pages]

Also, just a reminder that for all that people think of the United States as being a gun heavy country because of the second amendment, there is actually very little organized gun usage outside of white supremacist militias.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

See that "well regulated Militia" part? The courts have interpreted that to mean that the states get to decide if militias exist or not. And if you try to form a militia without state permission (which they will never give), the FBI drugs you and then the cops murder you and all your armed guards in a drive-by shooting. (Read up on the murder of Fred Hampton of the Black Panthers if you aren't familiar with that.)

Fred Hampton - Wikipedia

Now remember that the United States has long had a police presence which most dictatorships could only drool over. Some of our cities have more than 50% of their budget going to their police force, and it's not all just corruption. I think a lot of people don't truly get how much police surveillance there is in the United States because it's so ubiquitous for those of us who live here, and it's typically turned to such petty crime (often "crime" that's no such thing) that it doesn't match what most people elsewhere think of as a 1984 style police state.

But regardless of the incompetence and graft involved, this makes it extremely difficult for people to do organized armed drills. Like, last told I showed up to a Palestine charity concert, I got approached by somebody whom I'm pretty certain was a secret police officer trying to get invites to and infiltrate any groups more radical than that. That's just normal here. It happens all the time. And if the police find out that you're doing any kind of militia activity and you're not the kind of white supremacist group which has people on the police force, I am not kidding when I say that SWAT cops will come down on you by the hundreds.

So while Americans can own guns (except immigrants, immigrants don't get to have guns), we are absolutely not allowed to organize and practice with them in the kind of ways which could lead to a full-blown armed rebellion.

And one individual shooting an ICE officer is committing suicide by cop. If their buddies somehow don't kill them, and they travel in packs for a reason, I am not kidding when I say that police will descend on them by the tens of thousands. If and when they find the shooter, they will line the fucking streets with SWAT. If that shooter tries to surrender to the law, they should expect to die 'resisting arrest' or 'committing suicide' in police custody. If by some miracle they get a good enough lawyer fast enough to negotiate a sufficiently observed surrender and captivity to prevent execution (and good luck with that considering how ICE custody works), they can expect to be tortured extensively by the police. Then if they do ever make it to the courts, they can expect life in prison or execution with very little chance for anything else. And with modern surveillance going into hiding is it very difficult option amd risky for those hiding them - and there is no statute of limitations on murder and no same person in the United States would ever expect the Democrats to eventually pardon somebody who killed a law enforcement officer, however warranted.

We have a police state which makes individual resistance with guns a suicidal act, and which makes armed organization extremely difficult to get going. Resistance is extreme enough now and widespread enough that *maybe* people might be able to organize neighborhood defense militias that actually scare off or fight off ICE, and simply outpace or saturate the FBI and local police's surveillance networks. But that kind of shit takes time to form, and we just don't have a culture of it. Despite the gun culture of the United States, we have had actual militias very firmly stomped out of us since the Black Panthers.

Trust me, we get it, we get how bad it is. The lack of fighting back isn't because we don't get it, it's because the modern second amendment is a monumentally effective tactice that let the US defang its population while tricking them into thinking they had the biggest fangs in the world.
