The Seekers telling the Einfasen in Riesingürtle about the slaughter of House Royce paying off! Otto immediately sent word and it corroborated the work the Schemers did setting up House Tachonis during the Palazzo Davinos investigation

in the comments of my post about why people genuinely hating robby made me cross, something else got brought up that reminded me why I like the pitt so much.

it got mentioned that every choice for a good, competent and kind character to show unconscious bias (robbys' bias favouring men, mckays bias against a patient due to her weight) was intentionally written into the scrpit.

the writers and directors actually thought not just about the technical medical side of the show (which is also fantastic), but also social factors that impact treatment and care.

they thought about those things, KNEW that many good, kind male doctors still unconsciously favour men, and they wrote it in. deliberately. to show reality. they knew that many good, competent doctors still unconsciously dissmiss patients who are overweight, and they wrote it in.

and its such good writing. it's why the pitt feels so real. because their bias isnt violent, or intentional, or cruel. in fact, its shown in characters that would completely reject any cruelty towards patients they were aware of. it's shown in a way so many people can relate to experiencing in their own lives.

robby and mckay are fantastic doctors you would feel safe with. yet they are human, and susceptible still to social influence that doesn't align with the beliefs they consciously hold.

the writers and directors have all hit the nail on the head SO well with displaying the many realities of giving and recieving medical care, nuance of human character, and so much more. it's so good.

(additionally, the ordeal that the sickle cell patient has to go through where shes mistreated by ambulance staff because of her race, and how relieved the patient and her wife are to talk to mohan, who talks so openly about the bias that shes hoping to research and work to change- all conscious choices to acknowledge and include a wide range of how different biases affect different minorities!!)

we haven’t gone more than four days without feeling “shrunken” by something. for months. like. not everything has to appeal to you and you understand why people do or say it but it’s still punching down on you whether it’s on accident or not. like you have to shrink yourself to make room for others because it’s just kinda your “role” now. you have to be quiet and silent about it now. you can never say what’s wrong with it too explicitly, lest you be given an unwanted label, because none of the people who celebrate or recite the same words want you to say that it makes you feel bad. sometimes it’s because it’s your “friends” saying that exact thing, and maybe it wasn’t meant for your eyes, but you still saw it and it warped your perception of yourself. maybe it made you wonder if you weren’t a good enough friend for them to even think about it, or care that it affected you. today we felt so confident and sure about our identity. the yearning didn’t feel like a burden. we thought about it and smiled. and just. we never get to feel that way for very long. we always feel like we’re obligated to bow our head if we hold it too high. because we’re not actually doing much good if it’s not lowered, if we dare to feel joy or have a clear headspace regarding our identity. “this is what I want to be!” often followed by a “maybe later.”

I haven’t said this in a hot minute because I’ve been essentially aura farming good-guy vibes for the past several years but this is something I’m incredibly passionate about— the idea of good and bad, let alone evil, are both incredibly reductive and harmful when applied to a human being. The human psyche is incredibly multifaceted and innately organic, you cannot reduce a human being to one or the other., doing so will literally take away that person’ ability to either fully develop or even attempt to make better choices. When I worked in a daycare I literally watched this happen in real time. A kid would get called bad for having too much energy, having difficulty with the rules, aggression problems, having sensory overload, and everyone else would follow suit. That kid is bad, they aren’t that kid, they are good. The kid is isolated from their peers and not given the opportunity to grow, they think they can’t become good, call themselves bad. A simple correction of language used, or to correct a kid who says another kid is bad, makes a HUGE difference in the child’s behavior as well as the behavior of others. People aren’t bad or good unless you tell them they are. When I say ashes is good even those I disagree with the verbiage I’m trying to communicate the idea that I’m sick of being villainized, or watching people who have no idea what I am and have otherwise been lovely and kind villainize people for having the same traits that I do, which, by the way, I have no control over. I’m also trying to undo a lifetime of societal damage done upon myself that makes me want to hide myself so I don’t get hunted like a dangerous animal.
