A Box Simply Labeled: Stuff

@samantha-kirkland / samantha-kirkland.tumblr.com

There once was a girl. She collected many things. Having no where else to put them, she took an old moving box from the attic and wrote across the side, simply, "stuff". As the years passed, many things moved into the "Stuff" box, and moved out as they... omg I figured out how to edit this. I haven't touched this is like a decade. she/they, LS&T, Kaida_Smile everywhere else

"I need to talk to the most important manager" I guarantee you do not.

People are constantly walking in the front door going "I need to talk to your manager" and they get so unbelievable upset when I ask them which manager they need. They also don't want to explain their problem to anybody but the manager so I can't figure out which manager to call. The repairs manager, the delivery manager, the hiring manager... which one do you need? The biggest manager? Really? Well okay you're getting the tallest manager. He's in charge of organizing the warehouse and he is absolutely not going to solve whatever your problem is.

okay total aside, but a lot of leftists get really, really mad at me when i say that a fundamental part of any communist movement must be the elimination of the division of labour. they mock me with "what, do you want us all taking turns being doctors?"

no, you fucking morons. i want us to live in a society where medical knowledge isn't treated as secret unknowable lore that gatekeeps access to the care and resources we need to survive.

the reason we have so much bullshit medical psudeoscience is our society has a vested interest in making medical knowledge seem like impossible magic that only our greatest super-geniuses can hope to understand, but as both a trans person and a person who has helped a loved one with a chronic illness, getting care in these situations more often than not involved sitting down in front of a disinterested doctor and realizing with slow horror that we know more about our condition than they do, yet they decide what is best for us.

and if they notice you notice they're out of their depths, there's a good chance they will withhold care you need to punish you

the solution is the demystification and democratization of knowledge. yes, we have dedicated medical experts, because having specialists is important in realms of complex knowledge, but the death of the division of labour means the death of the idea that a field of human labour is the exclusive property of a caste of specialists.

it means exactly this; invite the community to be involved! teach those who are curious openly and eagerly so they don't go looking for answers from grifters! get everyone involved! treat medicine as a journey a community takes together, not a missive from on high. and that goes for everything. treat science this way, treat education this way, treat life and all the work we do to sustain it as a beautiful shared journey instead of capitalism's pay-as-you-go haunted house
