“When work disappears, the genders produced by the labour market are blurred. When socially necessary labour declines, what we once called women’s work – education, healthcare, service – becomes our basic industry, not a ‘tertiary’ dimension of the measurable economy. The labour of love, caring for one another and learning how to be our brother’s keeper – socially beneficial labour – becomes not merely possible but eminently necessary, and not just within families, where affection is routinely available. No, I mean out there, in the wide, wide world.” https://aeon.co/essays/what-if-jobs-are-not-the-solution-but-the-problem

I wrote a long-form article addressing this crisis. I share my personal story, the systemic roots of DVM burnout, and why we must move from expecting compassion to actively protecting it.
