This is so real. I’ve reported on this over the years in many forms. Coral reef scientists. Conservationists caring for endlings. Public health workers in the pandemic. Journalists covering all the above. The people bearing witness are not okay.
One unexpected thing in my qualitative study w natural scientists (one-hour interviews) is how deeply, deeply sad the climate scientists are. They say things like "you have enough information from us, why won't anyone act?" -- the psychological distress these people are enduring is very great.

On Sunday the neighbour's dog escaped & attacked my girl Frog. Luckily she survived. But, to stop her pecking at her wound she now has this fetching #handmade outfit. Fingers and feathers crossed it works even better than it looks 🐔🇳🇿
