falling to my knees in front of hot topic like i just found the promised land

[tellthemeerkatsitsfine]

So as anyone who lets my blog come across their Tumblr feeds every day knows, last month I finished all the John Oliver-era episode of The Bugle and then had a small breakdown about how the best fucking thing I’ve ever heard would dare to have an ending, possibly mixed in with some major projection of my own issues with objecting to anything ever ending. It was whole thing. It was also the end of my list of all the British comedy that I’d planned to cover since the beginning of COVIDtimes, leaving me with no set media schedule for the first time in over two years, and I like schedules.

After spending a bit of time watching different things on no particular schedule, I’ve found a new routine that I think I like. In the last few weeks, I’ve re-watched the first three seasons of Last Week Tonight, which takes me to February 2017. And I’ve listened to the first 15 episodes of the re-launched Bugle, which takes me to the same week in February 2017. I think I’ll alternate episodes from here, so I can follow where John Oliver and Andy Zaltzman went on their separate paths after the tragic end of the original Bugle run, so I can continue to enjoy the comedy from both of them, and continue to soften the blow of that truly painful ending. Like how in 1993, anyone who was upset about Cheers ending could console themselves with Fraiser, knowing it’ll never be the same but at least they got to see that the characters lived on.

One thing I’ve found interesting with the late 2016/early 2017 Bugle episodes is that it really shows how much freaking out about Trump’s election was not just an American phenomenon. Sometimes I think of how considering 2016 to be the worst thing in the world, specifically due to Trump and Brexit, is a very Western-centric view. Which is definitely is, it discounts the fact that many parts of the world have dealt with much worse shit than that for much longer than that. It seemed like the end of the world because it happened in countries that had grown accustomed to stability, but lots of countries have never had that luxury. Though also, I think 2016 was an especially bad year even in some of the rest of the world, with the Syrian crisis escalating into a global refugee crisis that had wide-ranging effects.

But one thing that annoys me in general is, even within the Western world, how much focus is on American politics, and to a much lesser but still disproportionate extent, whatever wild shit is going on in British politics. As a Canadian, I find it annoying that so many people I know know way more about American news than our own news. And sometimes I wonder if I’m being part of that problem by looking back at 2016 as a particularly bad year from my personal perspective, given that it was actually an all right year for Canada. It was after Justin Trudeau’s election but before the worst of his scandals got going, we had reasonable people in most cabinet positions, it was basically fine. Obviously I believe that people should have compassion for those outside their own borders and I felt angry and afraid on behalf of the American and British people who were affected by Trump and Brexit, but really, many places have much worse shit happen all the time and I don’t consider that shit a reason to make the whole year a terrible memory. Am I being incredibly American-centric to see Trump’s election as something that cast a dark cloud on the whole world?

These Bugle episodes I’m hearing suggest that that is not really the case. Andy Zaltzman has complained before about British people being more into American news than their own news, and in many episodes of The Bugle’s original run, John would come in with material based on American politics and Andy would let him recite it and bounce off it a bit but clearly not be that familiar with the issues. Which is fine – Andy had a strong knowledge of British politics and a general knowledge of what was going on in other countries, including America but very much not limited to America. And I think that’s how it should be – people should primarily pay attention to their own country’s news, because in a democracy, the people are the ones who are supposed to hold their own government accountable, and any country works better if its own people know what’s going on. Beyond that, it’s good to know what’s happening internationally, but the information diet should try to prioritize what’s actually most important and not just what’s dramatic or what’s sensational or what’s in America.

Obviously no one does this perfectly – not Andy Zaltzman, not the best most professional respected BBC journalists, and certainly not me. But I at least try, and get annoyed with myself when I fall too far short of that. Which is why it’s making me feel a little better to hear these 2016/2017 Bugle episodes, when even Andy Zaltzman, who’s usually pretty good at taking a larger view of the news, drops it entirely. In 2007-2015, when they discussed American political news, John very much led the discussions and Andy often had to ask for clarification on relatively basic parts of it. I remember at one point he didn’t know whether Newt Gingrich was a Republican or a Democrat, and that was when I realized he definitely never watches John Oliver’s other show (The Daily Show, at the time, not yet Last Week Tonight). But in late 2016/early 2017, Andy does not try to do anything besides dedicate most of every episode to Donald Trump. He does this when he has American guests on, but he even does it with the British guests, when the podcast has no American influence at all.

I’m currently listening to an episode with Anuvab Pal, who lives in India and is the only person to bring a non-Western perspective to The Bugle. And even he is mostly interested in talking about Donald Trump. In this February 2017 episode, he referred to Trump as the only story that anyone in the world is talking about. He and Andy have so far spent the first twenty minutes of this podcast talking about Donald Trump, a British guy and an Indian guy acknowledging that in their separate parts of the world the main news story is what the fuck is happening in America.

So that makes me feel a little better about my own view of those years, and the time that followed, being so deeply coloured by Donald Trump and all the fallout from him. It’s not just me with my North American-centric perspective, everyone thought that was the biggest thing to happen on Earth at that time. If “everyone” means one guy in Britain and one guy in India and also a couple of other people in Britain and a couple of guys in America, which it very much doesn’t, but still.

My efforts to see the news in a way that dispassionately prioritizes my own country, followed by issues around the world in a way that is proportionate to their genuine global importance, has been on my mind recently. Because last week and the week before, I have to admit that every time CBC tried to tell me about mundane shit going on in Canadian politics, I did want to say, “Oh come on. Look, I get my news from you because you deliver the news the way I think it should be delivered, not giving stories extra airtime just for being sensational or dramatic. But seriously, are you really going to talk about our Environment Minister’s proposed industry-specific carbon pricing system when across the pond, they’re playing the Benny Hill theme outside Parliament while the empire that succeeded Rome burns?”

I appreciate knowing that other people who also try hold these principles can fall down rabbit holes of bullshit just like I do. Even John Oliver did a good job of almost completely ignoring Donald Trump in 2015 on Last Week Tonight, and I recently watched him complain in an interview about how he hates that the Trump era forced him into discussing so much meaningless bullshit in the years that followed, when he wanted his show to be about substantial policy issues. And it is, Last Week Tonight covers lots of things that actually matter, but with each passing week of 2016, it also discussed more and more Twitter beef. And it’s been a while since I’ve re-watched Last Week Tonight episodes from 2017 onward, but I’m quite sure that ratio did not improve after Trump actually got elected.

So we all get caught up in shit. This sort of thing makes me genuinely appreciate all the journalists at the CBC and similar professional news organizations all over the world, even if sometimes it’s hard to remember to care. America could elect Kanye West in two years, and the next day, Vassy Kapelos would let me know that that happened but would also make time to tell me what’s going on in the race to be Leader of the Opposition in the provincial government of New Brunswick or whatever. And I respect her for that.

The Beauty In Breaking By Michelle Harper

Michele Harper is a female, African American emergency room physician in a profession that is overwhelmingly male and white. After taking her first breath in NYC, she was brought up in Washington, D.C., in a complicated family, she went to Harvard, where she met her husband. They stayed together through medical school until two months before she was scheduled to join the staff of a hospital in central Philadelphia, when he told her he couldn’t move with her. On words hra. Her marriage at an end, Harper began her new life in a new city, in a new job, as a newly single woman.

Audition 3.0. In the ensuing years, as Harper learned to become an effective ER physician, bringing insight and empathy to every patient encounter, she came to understand that each of us is broken–physically, emotionally, psychically. How we recognize those breaks, how we try to mend them, and where we go from there are all crucial parts of the healing process.

The Beauty in Breaking is the poignant true story of Harper’s journey toward self-healing. Each of the patients Harper writes about taught her something important about recuperation and recovery. How to let go of fear even when the future is murky. How to tell the truth when it’s simpler to overlook it. How to understand that compassion isn’t the same as justice. As she shines a light on the systemic disenfranchisement of the patients she treats as they struggle to maintain their health and dignity, Harper comes to understand the importance of allowing ourselves to make peace with the past as we draw support from the present. In this hopeful, moving, and beautiful book, she passes along the precious, necessary lessons that she has learned as a daughter, a woman, and a physician.

Praise for The Beauty in Breaking

“(THE BEAUTY IN BREAKING is a) riveting, heartbreaking, sometimes difficult, always inspiring story … Just as Harper would never show up to examine a patient without her stethoscope, the reader should not open this book without a pen in hand. There are so many powerful beats you’ll want to underline.” — Elisabeth Egan, The New York Times Book Review

“A moving, beautifully written memoir.” — New York Post

“(A) wise and elegant debut memoir.” — Boston Globe

“A book for our times, Harper’s debut is a compelling memoir about her life as a Black woman emergency room doctor and how that work overlaps with the complexities of life. Harper explores hurt and healing, race and gender, justice and hope with candor and compassion.” — Ms. Magazine

“This powerful story will resonate with readers.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

“Tackling such painful subjects as domestic abuse, trauma, and racism with grace and wisdom, this eloquent book probes the human condition as it chronicles a woman’s ever evolving spiritual journey … A profoundly humane memoir from a thoughtful doctor.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Harper’s words inspire hope and understanding of the importance of peace and acceptance of the past. Poignant, helpful, and encouraging, Harper’s lessons from life in and outside of the emergency room ultimately teach readers how to trust the healing process.” —Library Journal

“In this illuminating memoir, an African American emergency room doctor finds that her patients’ stories lead her to make connections between her work and the larger world.” —Shelf Awareness

“The Beauty in Breaking is a compelling page-turner about how Dr. Michele Harper took a broken childhood and wove herself into a strong, honest, compassionate doctor. A must read.” —Louann Brizendine, M.D., author of The Female Brain

“The Beauty in Breaking takes us into the life in an Emergency Room — the drama, the adrenaline, the emotion — with such immediacy that I could not help but be completely enthralled by the individual stories of the patients that Michele Harper treats. But this powerful, poignant page-turner of a book also tells a much larger and universal story about how healing actually happens, not just for broken bodies but for broken hearts and souls. In sharing the stories of her patients and her own life, Harper shows us that healing begins only after we are broken open ourselves. And she shows us with hopeful, heartbreaking clarity that it comes from healing each other.” —Kerry Egan, author of On Living

Ventured to the @whitneymuseum Museum for the last weekend of the #Mexican #muralists exhibit. Barely saw anything because much to my alarm, the place was packed to the gills! If this is their idea of limited occupancy, I hate to see what it would look like normally. It was like a regular museum frankly. I know @MoMA really limits occupancy, but the Whitney is truly pushing the limits of safety. Snapped a few #DiegoRivera and a few others before hightailing it out of there. Now ensconced in a heated pod at @thestandard for a solo brunch—can’t let this expedition be a total loss. #meatpackingdistrict #covidtimes #art #nycfoodscape #nyc #saturday  (at Whitney Museum of American Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKrY-dnhcMY/?igshid=1qcg9ptcfxsxr

MOUNTAIN TOP.... A new editorial....(PREVIEW) Still climbing to get there, still trying to build myself brick by brick everyday, and that is no easy task. With an objective traced, but a reality that makes you adapt, be imaginative, creative and gets the best of you sometimes. Tomorrow, is a new day! These times might not the be the ones we all thought and envisioned when we said; “Happy 2020” last December 31st, 2019 at midnight. But, I still believe that the amount of ingenuity and creativity displayed by Americans through the history of this country will make space today and now, and will conquer. Today more than ever! If we would just only stop bickering in all our social media and create division rather than unity. If we only became an active force, than a a passive discourse and/or a harsh critic. Just think about it... you will never "be right", and per many philosophers more versed than you and me; "It is all about balance". We are an ecosystem and what happens to the others, affects us one way or another. The ancient books keep repeating these three verbs; * Be humble, * Be nimble and * Be present. My thoughts about these rather challenging times soon to be published. Thank you for always being supportive, and for making the best of this place we call home. #Unity #Together #Life #ContemporaryLife #NewCentury #COVIDtimes #CoronaVirus #covid_19 #micasasucasa (at Arizona Science Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFRzP6Nnikd/?igshid=dah0jit3njbj
