Someone in an autism facebook group I'm in just asked "How am I supposed to earn enough to make a living without burning out?"

Someone replied: "You're not. Even neurotypicals can't right now in the system designed for them. We're the canaries in the coalmine. When we start failing, they know something is wrong."

I wrote a blog post lying around in bed procrastinating by writing a blog post.

@raineer Funny that toot was #agile hashtagged. That job description seems other than agile to me. More like headed toward #overwork #burnout #unsustainablePace You have my sympathy.

The irrationality of capitalism has a human price: long working hours kill more than 700,000 people per year, even as millions are unable to find enough work to survive

Programmers work late into the night, and Uber's reward system forces drivers to #overwork themselves just to survive.
In the era of digital #capitalism, the devaluation of labor and deprivation of individual worth alienates workers and leads them into #nihilism.
In short, the #proletariat of the digital capitalist age faces excessive labor and labor alienation. It is urgent for "#workers of the world to unite" in the age of digital capitalism!

Fab blog post by Katherine May on the degree to which we perform work. The idea that it's all about putting in the hours to the detriment of our physical and mental wellbeing is so pervasive and corrosive.

Rest, in the world we live in, is an act of rebellion.

Important read for academics (and others) from Loleen Berdahl: "How to quit sending non-urgent #email during non-work hours"

"It bothered me because I suddenly realized that my action of moving a small, non-#urgent item from my mental to-do list onto theirs on a #Saturday afternoon was a rude intrusion... ...I understood that I was contributing to the very #academic #overwork #culture that I struggled with."

We need to quit feeding the #system. Me included.

Overwork Pays Off More for Men:

New research finds an “overwork premium” - Evaluators allocate greater organizational rewards to people who work 50+ hrs per week ("overworkers"), *even when they do the same amount and quality of work as standard workers.*

In addition, male overworkers reap a significantly larger overwork premium than female overworkers.

"Getting Worse Every Week: The Sickest I Have Ever Been"

2012 was a low point for my physical health, but 2013 was worse mentally.

This is the story of what happened to my own health after my wife's cancer diagnosis.

Not my usual type of post, but it is in the general theme of my posts.

Visual effects studios are in crisis as big studios ask more and more from them while expecting to pay the same or less. Overworking is running rampant.

I hoped Igor Murky wanted his staff at #Twitter to take turns shoving large root vegetables up his bottom. But alas, what he really meant by '#Hardcore' is just crunching them all into an early grave instead. It's just one wasted opportunity after another with him!

I have to put some of this into Japanese to share with my local audience. all the words are in #KoheiSaito's book on the #Anthropocene but I should be doing something else right now. With Vietnam's policy of exporting labor, "trainees" to #Japan to be exploited this comparison will be of interest At least one young worker from #Vietnam has died from #Overwork #Karoshi #過労死 while here. There are other issues in the news too. So much to learn!

TIL tang ping (lying flat) is a social protest in China where young people refuse the capitalist #overwork rat race, and instead scale down their income to meet only the essential needs.

I'm in full support with this protest against #overconsumption.
