Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom Your complex medical needs do not make you a burden. You don't have to apologize for them. You are not an inconvenience. Any system that makes you feel that way is problematic, and it's not your fault! emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked 1:26 PM · Jun 1, 2023

TW: systemic failures

Whumpee who got mixed up in something unnecessarily and came out the other side unscathed on paper but was fucked up by the system despite everything.

(ID: the three-way handshake meme with arms labeled “mental health professionals,” veterinarians,” and “government officials” meeting in the middle labeled “Industries where the individuals with the empathy required to make the field better are almost never IN the field because that same empathy would make the work untenable and emotionally destructive for them”)

Addressing the problems of Bhopal became a way to chart a range of systemic failures, exacerbated by their tight coupling. Poverty, coupled with toxics. Failures of science, exacerbated by corrupt bureaucracies and politicized legal regimes. Trade liberalization, alongside the decline of labor unions. Technology transfer, without building in social and cultural diversity. The transnationalization of both corporations and nongovernmental organizations, without modes of accountability that crossed territorial borders.
