Not unsympathetic to the plight of a human trapped in a small capsule at the bottom of the ocean — that’s some serious nightmare fuel right there — but why can we not muster this level of wall-to-wall coverage for trans people being forced from their homes due to do bigoted healthcare restrictions, or migrants dying in the desert looking for better lives, or the inaction of the US government on rampant gun violence.
