“But hell hath no fury like me when I’m done being fucked with.”

I can confirm.

This hard patriarchal capitalist system is really fucking with people I love. I’m over it too.

Thank you for always being the one to sound the battle cry. Even from the foxhole. Even with bullets flying.

You are a marvel and I’m so grateful I get to be your friend.

Here’s to less bullshit. More good shit.

I am so sorry this whole year has hurt. Wish it wasn’t ever this hard to be human.

These words are so Bold. Brave. You.

Also. I needed this truth to mingle with my own Sunday morning truth. So, thank you.

Thank you for sharing your experience. WHEN WILL THE HORRORS DESIST? Ya know? I feel like, women work for free all our lives, starting with the expectation that we benefit performative entertainment, housewives in training, baby dolls not briefcases…During the pandemic when I had unemployment income, I volunteered a few times a month with the Red Cross. It was exciting but not my life’s calling, a joy to explore. But they ruined it by asking for more and more from me bc Capitalism a joke and everyone is chronically overworked and underpaid - if they’re paid at all.

All that to say, thank you for communicating the disparity you’ve experienced. I stand in solidarity. Just say NO.
