Just a quick moment to talk about visibility and emotional entitlement.
Just because someone is visible, vulnerable, and in the public eye, doesn’t mean that they are available to do emotional labor or spend emotional energy on you just because you want them to.

You feel you know and support them. But with that sense of intimacy, sometimes comes a false sense of entitlement. I've worked with Talent for years and regardless of your devotion, in public crisis, NO ONE owes you their time or emotional labor. If people don't chat or respond
to you as much as you'd like, you ought to recalibrate your expectations. What you cannot do is ignore boundaries, guilt trip, shame or otherwise Bully someone into giving more than they are able. No one is the arbiter of their conscience but themselves. Not your place to judge.
