Sat on a large conference dinner table today with a Palestinian (from Gaza, several family members dead) and a Ukrainian (late because was on the phone with family in Kiev) researcher. Meanwhile, I know a Israeli researcher on an ERC with two students. Petitions at work are disallowed, but our systems *are* picking winners and loosers. What can we do? We should not blame individuals, but we also cannot stand by, can we? #geopolitics #AcademicChatter #astrodon #war #Colonialism #systemicbarriers

🧵3️⃣ Rather than laziness, the author points to broken incentives and persistent social norms:
💶 More hours often don’t pay off
👩❤️👨 Spousal tax perks disincentivize full-time work
🛠️ DIY is rising as services vanish
🏖️ Retirement is culturally sacred, even when energy remains
Germany is slipping into a post-work malaise, but not by choice.
What does it mean to survive in a world not built for you?
As a person living with multiple, complex #disabilities, I am forced to conduct this broken orchestra of my life, juggling chronic pain, #SystemicBarriers, and the constant threat of #homelessness.
This is not just my story, but a reflection of countless others who have been failed by systems meant to support us.
Here, I share a day in my life using an analogy based on a broken orchestra.
