i am so lucky to have gotten the benefit of their work and their creative vision for the world and the way we can be to each other and our environment and our hearts.

Annie Dillard, Wendell Berry, and bell hooks rebuilt my soul on the way out of fundamentalism. I went to school where Annie wrote PILGRIM for my MFA and got to hear bell hooks speak there. and now they are all gone.

Pretty funny that Ed Sheeran seemingly only hired Irish people and yet didn't see this coming.

following this case has been kinda tricky bc my ability to ready kyrgyz has almost entirely disappeared (i should find a tutor or something) and everything comprehensive on social media is allll in kyrgyz rather than russian (which is honestly kind of neat)

her former patients are writing a petition to the president of kg for leniency and i hope something works

2 million soms and 3 years in prison for something beyond her control is really wild

100

but the upshot is that a team was working on this case, they left their care to seek secondary opinions, and when they came back to Nasira, the kid was worse off and needed an urgent intervention. this isn't her fault.

i'm doing rough translations of whatever i come across and getting things second hand tho, so i may have some details wrong.

as i understand it, the case wasn't negligence, it was complications involving travel to turkey, a covid infection, a pre-existing tendency to have clotting issues, and the amputation had been recommended long before it happened.

the case in question feels very much like the parents of this patient are lashing out against a host of things out of their control (truly a tragic situation) but they're able to unfairly come for the specialist who helped them and now she's unable to care for anyone else.

100

Nasira is lovely, i only met her a handful of times, but she's my host mom's sister and the adoptive mother figure of one of the cousins who lived with us while i was in Talas (her own mother, Nasira's other sister, died of cancer when she was very young)

i say this because this story is really troubling me and i wish i understood what recourse this doctor has for appealing this sentence. she's been under house arrest since february and has two young daughters and students and patients dependent on her. 24.kg/english/3889...

i wish i understood the kyrgyz justice system better, especially what appeal processes are like for criminal charges.

none of these words are in the bible

(perhaps i am misunderstanding the situation, if wiser heads care to chime in. but this smells off to me.)

they don't want regulation they want free money

if they had a genuine sense of altruism, we wouldn't be dealing with, oh, perhaps, things like mass importing of creative IP without compensating authors and artists fairly.
