finally a descriptor for whatever the fuck american animation studios have been doing for years
We need more of this
I'm not a PoC but this is just incredible, *exceptional*, culturally sensitive patient care, period. Absolutely should be shared with every healthcare professional I know.
We should always keep in mind that we are treating an entire person, not simply their condition, and the effects seemingly minor kindnesses can have on them long after they leave our care.
If you want to support black doctors who are just starting out, Farrah-Amoy Fullerton, a fourth-year med student at the University of Alabama at Birmingham just set up a way for people to help black fourth year med students transition to their residencie. This often means moving to a new city where they won't get a paycheck for weeks. Black students are also less likely to have access to generational wealth to keep them afloat during school. So if you have a few bucks and want to buy a graduation gift for a future black doctor, check out this article or search #medgradwishlist on twitter.
We need more black doctors to because doctors are often untrained on how to diagnose conditions in black peoples vs white people and are taught black have a higher pain tolerance and just a whole bunch of other ridiculous things........ black people need black doctors
Dr Fullerton is a resident now and #MedGradWishlist just finished its 3rd year running! They’re a phenomenal nonbinary black pediatrician and we need hundreds more like them.
on one hand more people should remember that the OP can always see their tags. on the other hand there is no tumblr experience quite like opening your notes and seeing someone fully and openly talking about their blood drinking kink at 8am on a tuesday
Also I literally missed the live Russian coup because I was too busy revising lmal

Hello Mr. Gaiman, I hope this isn't too silly a question but I figured if anything it might serve as a small break from Good omens related questions, which must be an awful lot so close to the release date: I noticed that you mention The Beatles more than a few times in your replies and I was wondering, do you happen to be a fan of them or do you just mention them in a Generic-famous-band kind of way when you need to make examples? Do you have a favorite album or songs of theirs?
Again I apologise if the question isn't particularly deep, thank you for taking the time to read this and have a nice day :)
I figure that the Beatles have lasted and that people know who they are (or were) in a way that people might not follow if I made a Velvet Underground or Magnetic Fields reference.
Talking about which, the Magnetic Fields are going to be playing all of 69 Love Songs (over two nights) over 6 gigs in 5 US locations in 2024.
THE MAGNETIC FIELDS ARE DOING WHAT
They are on tour. Look:

And here is a 22 year old photograph from The Bottom Line club on Sunday, June 17, 2001. It was a double bill. We each did two shows that night.
Weirdly, I was the one they spelled right.
The Bottom Line was New York City’s living room. Not so much small and intimate as comfortably crowded.
It was on Father’s Day (US) so Neil read us Blueberry Girl.
Blueberry Girl was a gift for Tash, Tori Amos’ daughter, and was private.
Neil asked us to turn off any recording devices, so the poem wouldn’t leave the room, and you heard clicks, and then silence.
Neil shared this sweet secret poem with us for Father’s Day, a poem about mothers and daughters.
I’d taken the L from Sheepshead Bay into Greenwich Village to have an adventure, leaving my mother and father behind with my grandparents to see Neil.
My family was unhappy that I’d put my own wants ahead of Father’s Day expectations. But then they were so often unhappy with everything. Still are.
Blueberry Girl captured an aspirational relationship, not the one my mom experienced raising a crying, irrational being. The expectations of the time were that it and her arguably more rational husband were now focus of her identity. She was only 24 when I showed up.
I’d kissed 24 goodbye almost a decade before 2001, yet I was still a tremendous fuck up at meeting family expectations. I failed at doing the things that I saw made my parents miserable. Blueberry Girl was a beautiful poem, but that it would relate to real mothers and daughters was a bit of a laugh.
But I wished it wouldn’t be. And I’m glad it’s no longer a secret.
Here are some of Charles Vess's gorgeous illustrations for Blueberry Girl:
Written for Tash Hawley when she was still an idea...
