I raise you this + it’s not an excuse to sic a dog trained to maul people on them either. Police k9s are police brutality in the vast majority of cases and I’ll keep screaming about it until it’s not an uncommon opinion.

#police brutality #don’t even get me started on police k9s #the terrible ethics #the shitty training #the absolute lack of data #they’re out there training dogs to maul people at a level 4-5 bite which any “civilian dog would be euthanized for #but cops can do it with no oversight #ok #4-5 bites can kill a child #and easily cause lifelong damage in adults #not to mention the trauma #and they all have absolutely garbage outs #you know how cops have to experience being tazed or some shit?#ok now take off the bite suit #I dare you #no????#why not?#WHY NOT

the aroace read of ryland grace is so personal and haunting. "you don't even have a dog." was it not enough to love the world for the sake of living in it. was it not enough to live for the thrill of discovery. was it not enough to smile at your students. was it not enough to be afraid.

Hearing they announced that Mohan won't be coming back next season. I get that residents move on but I feel like her story is so unfinished! Plus, she's one of my favorites.

#this scene was ick but accurate to how a lot of helpers talk about the people they're supposed to be caring about #How you talk about legitimate frustrations out loud or even in your head does matter #you are best at what you practice #and no that doesn't mean toxic positivity where you pretend that everything is fine or has s silver lining #it means acknowledging frustration while still practicing compassion and understanding #the pitt

I know the running joke is that if you're chill you get hired to the night shift but I'm gonna be fr I think it's just Robby 👉👉

#bleeding all over everyone #apparently he's in therapy but he's gonna need to double dog down on that shit #the pitt

What you did in there, building a relationship with your patients, earning their trust, that’s what this is all about. Robby doesn’t seem to think so. Don’t worry about him.

THE PITT 1.05 | 2.12

They want to build another data center in the desert near me, at a crucial junction regarding the Colorado River, which is notoriously at crisis levels of water for the southwest. I was grumbling about it and my dad was all "it evaporates". Dad. I am not a data center water expert but it doesn't take a genius to realize that precious groundwater evaporated into the air is extremely unlikely to come back as rain where it was sucked out. *Especially* in the desert in *drought*. That water is *gone*. Thankfully my dad is a decent listener and was all "oh. Yeah." But uugghhhhhhhhh. If you want to get really really frustrated about humans inability to live sustainably then live in the desert. (Except don't because the southwest is fucked)

Are the pitchforks gonna come out if I say this is mainly Robby's fault? Both Santos and Langdon deserve support, and neither are getting it the way they need to because Robby couldn't pull his head out his ass long enough to give Al Hashimi a proper hand-over. Yes she came a shift early, but let's be for real. This is his last shift. He was never going to answer her emails, or give her the proper hand over she needed. And in the end, it's the people underneath him who suffered for it. Who he has a duty of care to. He is the boss. I know he has his own shift going on; so I'm not saying, "Robby is a horrible person." What I'm saying here is he fucked up and likely made an uncomfortable situation much worse.

#the pitt #basically #I'm ngl I'm also a little skeptical of the writers ability to handle the topic of addiction with the care that it deserves at this point but #we'll see

having an entire episode dedicated to harm reduction the week before just to demonize and caricature a cartoonishly awful cocaine user? representing all the harshest stereotypes about that drug? to have cassie bootlick for the court system? to somehow pivot to representing the carceral state as something good when the dude sucks enough to warrant it? to playing it ambiguously fast and loose with langdon's PHP plot so it galvanizes another week of "send the filthy lying addict to prison" discourse? yuck!

#Fr this was such a weird writing shift for McCay #Makes me feel like they don't actually know what they want to say about this subject #either that or the writers room is as neo lib v progressive as the fandom is #the pitt #I'm not necessarily surprised?#The pitt picks up a lot of tough topics and does a fairly surface level looksee at them #I wouldnt be surprised if they dug themselves a little deep on addiction but we'll see

JOY!!! I love you so much!!! The leaves on time Queen!!!!! 👑👑👑👑

#the pitt #Langdon lmao that was so awkward what are you doing

listen, i am by no means a santos hater. i understand her and how keeping information secret just for the sake of someone who was obviously horrible to her is running her down and isn't fair.

i also cannot stand how her base instinct is punitive justice. drug addiction is an extremely complicated and difficult disease, and it can lead to criminalized acts because the literal act of existing as a drug addict is criminalized.

what langdon doesn't need is to be humiliated by his entire workplace knowing every detail about the incident that prompted his recovery. what he does need is empathy and a sense of normalcy, just as mckay said to ogilvie while working with the street team patient.

what santos doesn't need is to fuel the cop inside her head that is telling her that all her problems will be solved if langdon goes to jail. what she does need is an actual support system that can recognize the damage done to her by this situation and provide her with the care she needs.

i think everyone needs to KILL THE COPS IN THEIR HEADS. punitive justice will not solve every problem. it barely solves the problems that it does. what will solve problems is mutual aid, decriminalization, and harm reduction.

Someone needs to study why some fandoms are mostly fun/chill with a handful of blockable exceptions and others are painfully annoying

#if you guessed this was about the pitt fandom yes it is bc why do I have to block like every other person

I did eventually have to confiscate The Face because he was getting a little too obsessed and forgetting to enjoy his hike. But....did I bring it home to use for reinforcement and/or scent discrimination purposes? Yes. Yes, I did.
