gender essentialism is soooo funny bc it's like "this is what women are like" and you're like "I've met women and many of them, if not the majority, have not been like that" and it's like "well women SHOULD be like that" and you're like "why should women be like that" and its like "because that's what women are like"

I think at bare minimum all medical professionals need to make sure they are treating patients with more kindness and respect than grifters. if you go to a doctor and they treat you like shit, humiliate you, and send you home without any information on your body or access to treatment, then health-grifters' offers will start to feel more tempting by simply giving the most basic performance of taking you seriously and caring about your well-being. grifters should be condemned for manipulating and exploiting sick people, and doctors also play a role in whether grifts thrive or are successfully identified and rejected. genuine baseline human respect, and beginning a relationship with a patient by earning (rather than demanding) trust, goes a long way.

I think one of the gentlest things in the world is when a friend just gets your weird little brain. like you say half a sentence and they finish it. you reference something incredibly niche from seven years ago and they’re already nodding. they understand your strange vocabulary for emotions that don’t have real words yet. it’s being seen and known and still loved. maybe especially because you’re known. god. what a gift.

Don't leave your friends and even acquaintances to go to the hospital alone. If they don't have someone already going with them and don't explicitly tell you they don't want you there, go to advocate for them. Outcomes for sick people change dramatically when they have someone else there to observe doctors (making them know they can't get away with negligence) and note symptoms from an outside perspective.

Going to the hospital is scary and even someone totally unprepared to be a medical advocate or physical support will be better than nothing, purely from their presence. You can grab food, be there with your phone to search if theirs dies, go in search of a doctor, distract them from pain or discomfort... go with them.

I will never get over the fact that Hades and Persephone’s parts in Chant are a minor key version of Wedding Song, literally and figuratively

imo part of the message of hadestown is that fundamentally love alone cannot stop oppression. it can make things more bearable in the meantime. it can even motivate people to take further action. but you cannot destroy the cruelty of capitalism just by loving hard enough.

orpheus's love for eurydice might have driven him to go to hadestown looking for her, but it couldn't save her. hades's love for persephone might have driven him to give orpheus a chance, but it couldn't convince him to give up his empire. love makes the story repeat over and over again, but love cannot break that loop. something else is necessary. something else is required. and multiple times the characters are on the cusp of acknowledging that (if it's true, chant ii, word to the wise) but they never fully reckon with it. hadestown is a story about love, and that's a big part of why it's a tragedy.
