Imperial boomerang: for centuries, Europeans have framed tech to protect against cold (fire, furnaces) as noble and good, while they’ve framed the warm climates they colonized as full of lazy people (Asians, Africans) and, thus, the need to use AC or fans as frivaloues, wasteful & unnecessary

So-called “Competency-based education” & assessment makes sense for a profession *obsessed* with maintaining homogeneity, virtue ethics and the optics of care. Who needs critical history, structural competency, moral reasoning or the “why” when just looking the part is enough to pass?

Biscuit Production on a Conveyor Belt
Alt: Pale looking half-baked cookies being spit onto a conveyer belt by a machine. They don’t look very flavorful & there is no diversity or variation. Honestly the saddest, most boring cookies. I wouldn’t want my cookie future to be only these cookies. How sad.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country. As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Even just trying to avoid it as an ethical participant in higher education is taking work, time, and professional risks, all of which are worth it not to contribute to this very real problem, but are a real waste.
