Yeah I dunno, so like we gave him 10 aircraft carriers and the nuclear codes so yes, while I absolutely recognize that this is our fault, and oh my god am I hoping we do something about this - I am terrified that we are not going do anything about this because white people figure they'll do okay under fascism as a whole (no, but telling an American they're wrong never does anything) so technically he is half the planet's problem now. I feel awful. But it is true.

@dangoodin Katelyn only keeps a Twitter account to prevent someone from impersonating her. She hasn't used it actively since Elon took over.

“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

The Strong Must Heal, Too
The conversation around emotional healing is crucial, especially for DVMs and those in helping roles.

Compassion fatigue is not burnout; it is a system crash. We expect endless empathy from vets and techs, forgetting they are also carrying our pain. This is a massive failure of Emotional Hygiene.

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.
