oh also. i don’t really care if ppl do or do not ship mel/langdon, but i do think some of you just think she's too weird/neurodivergent* to be the object of desire for someone or experience desire herself. which is an impulse that should be deconstructed

*and here we get into the weird infantilization of neurodivergent/autistic ppl, we don't have time for alla that but it IS giving!!!

also. i have seen the lawyer au demand and I'm all over it (taking the bar in July). it's all going to take place at the Federal Public Defenders for the Western District of Pennsylvania. trust me on this, the best way to transfer the chaos and cynicism of emergency medicine is to go into public defense, not corporate law. corporate law is plastic surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, etc. ridiculously high paid. jocks and lamborghinis. federal public defense is like oh cool i've been appointed to five 922(g) cases for the upcoming week. the judge is falling asleep during my client's colloquy. everyone in this room hates me including the person I'm supposed to be helping. also i should be paid more.

You ever think about how bleak it is that the American understanding of addiction treatment is still based almost solely on the ideology of AA and NA? I think it's by far one of the cultiest, most retrograde things still viewed as totally normal in the US.

yes it makes me so insane. even doctors in the us who don't reroute patients directly into 12-step meetings are still operating off the same basic ideas (substance use is an uncontrollable external disease entity that takes over yr brain, also you're intemperate and morally compromised, also the only solution is to seek god a higher external intervention) like it has such a total capture of the entire us medical imagination. the number of people who don't even know that things like medication treatment exist, let alone having any familiarity with any harm reduction or recovery frameworks besides total abstinence, is frankly disturbing. and then it just becomes this self-sustaining logic where you punish people for using and then they use more and the psychiatric-carceral explanation is that that's proof of how innately fucked up they were all along and how they need to be kept away from substances. even the few social workers or whatever who criticise 12-stepping usually max out at "well it works for Full Blown Addicts but regular people can probably be less strict" like the existence of these groups completely obviates the need for any actual challenge to ruling treatment ontologies. and this is before you even get into the expansion of 12-stepping into other behaviours lmaooo like in undergrad in the dining hall i used to get visually assaulted with posters for 'overeaters anonymous' 12-step meetings every time i wanted coffee, there are meetings for sex addicts, 'crime addicts' (i'm not kidding), gambling, workaholism, going into debt... and the original model doesn't even work for the one thing it was intended to work for! because it's the equivalent of going to confession for protestants. and then we just export that model onto literally any behaviour designated as socially insalubrious anyway 👍 i mean really, why do things that help people. who cares about that shit i think we should keep berating them into xianity instead

i don't even mean to be a single issue blogger or anything but this is so profoundly stupid to me i don't know what to do other than post about it because i feel insane

i shit you not i saw someone on twitter complaining that langdon "didn't even want to go to rehab" re: the clip of him and robby from the finale. as in, because he does not want to go to rehab it reinforces that he's a bad person. as though. everyone who is told to go to rehab immediately wants to go and if they refuse that is a stain on their character. is everyone on twitter a cop or
