people love the idea of the mean girl nurse pipeline because it problematises medical abuse as a personal perversion rather than understanding it as a product of broadly held ableist values and its like, if this was only about ontologically evil teenage girls choosing to enter a profession because of their unique sadism then you really wouldnt expect to see the exact same forms of abuse pervading all arrangements of paid, unpaid, formal, ad hoc, and familial caretaking as well -- its more comforting to believe the nurse was just a preexisting bad person than that most of the world broadly hates disabled people and will abuse, neglect, and gaslight them if given power over their care

Directing the Herd

Social media platforms don’t produce a common public; they produce competing sub-publics, each with its own sense of what everyone knows.

Facebook’s promise to “bring the world closer together” and Twitter’s self-mythology as a “global town square” are marketing exercises that borrow democratic prestige to dignify websites concerned with generating revenue and directing the herd. When Facebook built a tool that it suggested employers could use to suppress labor organizing content, or deployed algorithms that systematically steered vulnerable users toward extreme content, or promoted content that helped to spur the Rohingya genocide in Myanmar, the platform was performing as expected. When Elon Musk started visibly boosting ideological allies (read: amateur phrenologists and spurned lovers of apartheid), apparently suppressing enemies, and seemingly adjusting algorithms by whim, he was not corrupting some neutral edifice. He made the governance question legible to people who’d preferred not to see it. The landlord had always been there.
