Welp, it’s still 3 weeks away and we’re already stranded. IcelandAir has just told us, see ya, bye
Josephine and I can feasibly stay until the end of February if we need to, but my partner needs to get back by early February and that’s not feeling great right now if they’re already cancelling flights that are weeks away
Welp, you *can* contact them but they say it will be several weeks before they reply. And because Josephine and I travel on our US passports (which is the law), we are prob not going to be helped to get home to Sweden. Where we live.
Folks, ya need to keep your non-omicron advice to yourself. It’s stressful enough to get “they’ll rebook you!!” when this already DID happen for us in December. And you can’t call them unless your flight is within 72 hours, and they have a weeks-long reply time for contact center

It’s wild how many people seem to think that teachers and nurses are easily replaceable. I think there’s a sense that these are “girl jobs” that anyone can rock up and just…do.
Even if they were jobs that didn’t require years of training as well as a particular constitution, the people who do them would still be valuable. We aren’t required to treat workers as fungible. But this way of seeing feminized jobs as easy is leading us to a long-term crisis.
We devalue care work so much that any job that involves it, regardless of what else it involves, is seen as “easy,” normally by cis men who think caring is women’s work, and think they’re only bad at it because it’s beneath them. But they’ll never admit it’s our greatest need.
