The cure for burnout has to be all of us caring for each other.&#34;<br/><br/>#a11yTOConf #burnout<br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/115/391/656/485/456/462/original/3b74dc0092c964ca.webp"> <br/> 2025-10-17T21:43:18Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsf0j0xwecxwrpg8tgldl0ncdpjmrts8wtlc8p7mhdvk5hlhe3zn6gzyqh8t37w30552ry9l8petnpegwfz5g84yg9x0sw37alkgfwseukw2t84umh Eric Bailey <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub18vj5j3srdwcf6chq6akn29lky5y2e246f30zucdu50gwkxdkrwkqk4g4zy" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Eric</span> (<span class="italic">npub18vj…g4zy</span>)</a></span> closed out the day with a powerful talk that combined personal narrative, systemic warnings, and thoughtful analysis with expressions of community care and hope.<br/><br/>An interesting companion piece to Hitomi Yokata&#39;s talk this morning.
