“The childcare is then immediately outsourced to the workers, of whom [the queen] can make more, any time it wants.”
Which is why they’ve never been able to successfully unionize.
It's a testament to how much better the fedi is that when this was posted on twitter it was immediately swarmed by transphobes, but here everyone's just like "yeah cool, biological sex is impossible to quantify, anyway I wanna hear about exploding dicks, tell me about the exploding dicks"

Weird fluffy advent, day 22
Sometimes it can be hard to find a #Santa hat that fits properly, but there's always a solution to be found.

If I hear one more person wittering on about "efficiency savings" in the #NHS I'm going to scream. The NHS has been pared to the bone in the name of efficiency savings and it does not work because you can't predict exactly when or how people are going to need the service.
I don't want the NHS to be efficient. I want it to have the capacity to deal with whatever gets thrown at it. I WANT there to be empty beds, because that means there's nobody waiting for a bed. I WANT Doctors to spend a certain amount of their day twiddling their thumbs, because that means people aren't stuck waiting in pain and desperation.
Am i weird?
This is Ume Tange (also called Umeko). She's in her 70s in this photo. It's in 1948: she was born in 1873, and she died in 1955.
Tange was a nutritional chemist, and she had some amazing science career firsts behind her.
She was in the first group of Japanese women to enter full university, & again,when she was awarded her first science PhD. Tange had 2 by the time of this photo.
I've created an English-language Wikipedia page about her ... 1/4
If it reads like I’m advocating for violence against a specific billionaire, please understand I’m not. I want violence to happen to all of them
