this won't be a fun post but it needs to get out

i work in a theater. this weekend the stage manager killed himself. while this is already tragic and deeply sad, to me it is terrifying.

because in the past couple of months, the former stage manager of that place (retired) killed himself too. and the machinery manager at another theatre in the same city did the same. this goes beyond coincidence.

almost all the tech people i know have experienced burnouts in the past couple of years. many, many workers in other parts of the industry (production directors, communications managers, administrators and the like) have also burnt out.

the company i work for is putting on a show, and we cannot find enough technicians for it. everyone is either overworked, burnt out or dead.

no one knows exactly why this is happening, but the lack of subsidies, which have resulted in fewer workers and longer work hours, seems to me like the start of an explanation.

i live in europe, in a country that's right-leaning but not yet too plagued by far-right ideologies. one of our most prominent politicians wants to get rid of the ministry of culture, but has faced intense backlash. we're generally considered a good place for the arts.

i'm not planning on staying in the industry long, because it's a thankless, underpaid job and i'm struggling mentally. i am terrified at what is happening to theatre, my first passion, which will always have a special place in my heart.

i grieve for those we lost, for what we are losing, and for what we are being turned into.

Do not let them erase this. Do not let them tell you he meant "my heart goes out for you."

This man is the grandson of a Canadian Nazi sympathizer who moved to South Africa BECAUSE he thought the apartheid was just the coolest.

He has a gaggle of kids specifically because he believes his genes are superior and need to be spread to improve humanity.

He has thrown his support behind the neonazi party in Germany and the far right party in the UK, not to mention how far he's wormed up the ass of the Republican party.

He threw two sieg heil salutes back to back at the inauguration of the president of the United States and is trying to scrub the evidence off the internet.

Elon Reeve Musk is a fucking Nazi.

He realized his dogs have an unusual skill. Now he uses them to help save turtles.

By Cathy Free

John Rucker was a high school English teacher in North Carolina when he stumbled upon something interesting: Whenever he took his two dogs hiking, they would run into the tall grass and bring him back box turtles. Like a gift, his Boykin spaniels would gently lay them at his feet, unharmed.

He mentioned it to a few people, and soon, biology teachers from the University of North Carolina started reaching out to him and asking whether he would take their students out so they could put transmitters on the turtles to study them.

Several years later, the outings were so successful, Rucker was fielding calls from wildlife veterinarians and zoologists who were studying turtle populations.

“Because turtles aren’t easily detected in the wild by the human eye, I could see that I was on to something,” said Rucker, now 73.

Now, two decades later, Rucker’s spaniels are a highly in-demand, specialized team trained to sniff out box turtles by following their urine trails.

The dogs — Yogi, Ruger, Jenny Wren, Lazarus, Scamp, Skeeter and Rooster — travel across the country with Rucker helping to track turtle populations and identify threats and diseases.

The fact that “Elon musk does two Nazi salutes” isn’t blowing up my push notifications is the best example I could possibly give of the media’s failure to do fucking anything

My brother in law recently became a veterinarian and it has really driven the point home as to how fucking bonkers veterinary medicine is. We don't expect human physicians to really know much outside of their own specialty - a dentist, an otolaryngologist, and a maxillofacial surgeon are three totally different dudes. Meanwhile a veterinarian at a wildlife rehab center is doing orthopedic surgery on a hawk and then doing rounds on baby hedgehogs in the hedgehog NICU and administering antibiotics to a ratsnake. And he also knows how to perform surgical interventions on a cow! What the fuck! Those are all totally, wildly different kinds of animal!!

Shout out to veterinarians, they know Too Much.
